hi everyone...

I'm looking for a simple-faced Air-King

or a

DateJust Midsize with Oyster bracelet for my wife

[she has a very small wrist but wants a boy-look watch]

30mm face is the go

no diamonds, roman numerals or fussy faces... just something really simple

anyone know a reputable source

or a trusted dealer?...

further

anyone have experience of timeshop.net?

thanks in advance...

would you IWC experts like to point me [a newbie] in the right direction

and comment on who you think has the best 42mm Spitfire Chrono? for sale currently...

I see a few around but most seem to be 38mm/39mm

thanks in advance...

can't find any there today

but thanks

hi guys n gals

I'm new here

but have bought five watches

through three different dealers

who are regularly mentioned on this site

in the past month

three have arrived in great condition

and are as advertised

[very happy]

I received a [$300] watch from one of these dealers today

which I am very disappointed in

as there are two MAJOR PROBLEMS with the order

I'm looking for advice as to what I should do

and expect to be done to fix this

I won't mention the dealer

as they have not had the chance to rectify the problem yet

I'd just like some help with the perameters

and what I can ask to be done

specifically...

1. the watch is an IWC chrono

the chrono hand on one of the sub-dials

HAS FALLEN OFF

and is loose inside the watch

even the most casual glance

would have revealed this glaring problem

as it is red in color

and I noticed it within 5 secs!

therefore

this watch has been drop-shipped

without any kind of inspection!!!

2. I ordered a specific brand box and papers

I received a DIFFERENT BRAND box!!!

I did my homework as best I could before purchase

including checking the member postings about purchases

and feedback on the dealer

before purchasing

[and there are good reviews]

I also read posts that detail

how some of the problems with dealers are resolved

but they are a little loose on the detail

eg.

can I expect a completely new watch

or

will it be repaired an returned to me?

who pays shipping cost for return?

can I ask for a refund of the whole cost?

[and purchase elsewhere]

etc etc etc

any advice on dealing with the dealer would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I have a mixed bag of tricks

all bought 'over the counter'

in various parts of asia

and in various states of repair

a real good looking speedmaster pro [auto]

a tag carrera pro [auto]

and my baby

an IWC Titan limited edition chrono [auto]

that I have not been able to identify anywhere

[so probably a fantasy]

that I absolutely love

they need looking at

I'm in NYC

any ideas?...

thanks guys

beautiful!!!!!

a joy to behold

let me know if you find it

just bought a manual one from perfect clones

not received yet

Hi all

just posting to say hello

will be on the lookout for a couple of good IWC's

3717

and

3786 Dopple Chrono

if it's around

and some mods to same

any insights to the good dealers?...
