Are you sure that there is not a washer in there????? With out one it would make no difference I there was One or not it would just spin

Nice Bob

You know it really saddens me when people try to offered advice and knowledge and it is just slapped away !

Looks quite gen apart from the crown

a gen dial yoou are looking at $500 plus

And that from Freddy is praise indeed

looks good man, soften the edges a touch and fit a gen crown and it will be excelent

yes there is

You know what that looks real good!!!!!!!!!! Particauly for the price where did that new crystal come from?????

Jos any chance of the Ti bracelet with the correct taper for this one??? make it a 296????????? please!!!!!!!

Ditto the above coment you were sold that Calibre Cartier as swiss 25l but it has an asian 21j, i would say you got pulled over the table with this watch for $250!!! second the other cartier you say it has an Asian 21J but you paid $250?????? sorry man but i would not be paying what you paid for asian movements, i think a bit more education to recognise what you are being sold is in order

I am just waiting for new AR On mine with a gold tint to compliment a dark brown crock strap from Bob

Look on VRF for these watches and you will fine a 1680 white, bracelet with box and papers not far from that price

A damn shame but so is the gen. I love the overall look of the watch but just hate those square markers?

I would order STK1060 as the most common tube and crown will be a 703 and that will fit

Looks like a good starting point my advise would be Don't over age it does not have to look like it is destroyed before it looks correctly aged!

It does not look like it all the old issues are there. I do t want to make the watch sound bad as it is not it is great but Co instead of CO on the case back engraving Short hands like in the very early advertising pictures from IWC Date wheel font No Lumed 15, 30, 45 and 60 on the chapter ring Pearlage on the bracelet folding parts instead of sand blasted Most of these can be modded and if you have never had or worn and Ingy you don't know what you are missing.

It looks no different than the old one. A very good rep but the big sticking point Is the date wheel

If you are even thinking of using superglue then the only answer I will give is to send it away and get it fixed by some one who knows what he is doing

I think the red insert on the black bay is a mistake but on the whole I like them. Maybe the first homages since the longiens legend that capture a bit of the original.

So should I get in touch or Just ban him

Hello from Denmark (today) glad you like the place and we see what you ordered when it arrives

Good clear concise and well writen informative post! I have pinned this but i will move it to movement info once every one has had a change to read this, put put a link in your signature for this!

In my mind i dont wait untill the oil in my car is all gummed up until i change it as more wear occors with old oil

That would be my thinking i get warning bells when i see movemets with an amplitude below 250
