  2. IWC 79320 + rep hands?

    in The IWC Area

    Posted

    I believe hand fitment issues may be a concern if the original rep movement is the high beat A7750; if it's the slow, it should be 1:1 exchange...

    The hands needs to be modified just a pinch..easily done by a watch smith or yourself if you are a little bit careful and skilled.

    Well lets see B)

    For me the second hand is too short, and the wrong shape and colour at the tip. The main lettering on the dial does not have a flattened area around the font, nor does the flattened area extend around the date window, which is in the wrong position by a mm or so. Of course the date font is wrong. The outer edges of the dial is printed way too thin, including the little ticks and circle marks.....

    Not to mention the back of the watch, which has a display back showing the wrong movement.....

    Not very accurate ;)

    That

    We'll have to wait for Takashi. He's the real expert on IWCs.

    I read on some posts the reps of these aren't so accurate so far. The only way they will be - once the case and dial issues are fixed - will be with your genuine movements, as they have clear case backs.

    At the moment I prefer the "normal" AMG and SS versions that are great reps, but you never know, some watches grow on you. Do you like this one ?

    Very much! Grown fond of ceramics!

    If you're in EU, you could get one from Precious Time... he may cost a little more, but he QCs it and sends it out from within the EU. I'm not sure about Norway as it's outside the EU but I think there is some sort of free trade agreement? There are a lot of Norwegian members who will hopefully chime in. Precious Time also guarantees the watch for 2 months, I believe.

    You can also get it serviced by a watchsmith like member Bricciola (in EU assuming that is ok for you customs-wise), who knows how to handle these movements and lubricate them properly. It may be an idea to get that done early on, unless you plan on a movement swap. Concepta has them for sale in the Trading Zone section of this forum, under Tools & Parts. Bricciola can also do that movement swap for you. I believe Bricciola is not taking any work until August as he will be off on holiday soon. Obviously, the most reliable movement in your watch will be the genuine one.

    If you want the non-chrono, the ETA movement should be fine. I've had my AMG since it first came out, and it's still running fine. Someone like Eurotimez verifies that it is ETA (there are Asian copy movements too) and can ship from within EU. Precious Time can probably check it's authentic ETA as well - just ask him.

    Hope that helps!

    ...maybe i should start deliver done frankens (with gen movement) :)

    If you are looking for the most accurate out of the box, WM9 is the way to go. Pricey? Yes... But so is buying the same watch 2 or 3 times over trying to find the right one ;)

    Man UBI..i would love to see your total collection :)

    Would probably make me cry ;-)
