insane

Oh, and its the screw that connects the hoge thing on the side to the watch :-)

Tried to attach pic, but cannot see that its been done.

Its been a while since my last post, but now I'm back :-)

Good to see that you guys are still active. A lot of catching up to do I can see.

Quick question. A screw has fallen out on my 1950. Any ideas where I might get one? I tried two local watch repair shops, but no luck.

oh god 10 cm ewwwwwwwww

I once had a 2cm harmless spider crawl near me in the washroom and sprinted out of there as though a bomb was about to blow. I am terrified (and disgusted) by insects of all kinds - especially bees and spiders. Thus, I will never go to Thailand. Thanks for the heads up.

Its my 4th time in Thailand, and the first time I have seen a spider of this size. Thailand is a beautiful country with great, friendly people. You have to go!!

Just pray that the spider you whacked don't have relatives in Bangkok. You might wake up to find a cockroach's head in the bed next to you.

Lol

We've checked out now, so I'll be able to sleep again. Just arrived in Bangkok.

Going to MBK tomorrow to scout for watches. Probably wont find anything :-(

You betcha I did. Found him two days later on the window. He aint among us today

Guess how well we slept the second night when we didn't know where he was..

Hi guys. In Thailand (Hua Hin) at the moment, and woke up one night to find this little bugger (10 cm long) crawling over my face.

And it struck me.. are there any dangerous spiders in Thailand? Anyone know what kind this is?

What is the bad guy wearing? IWC?

Thanks alot Ryyannon.

We are three guys who would like a nice sit down meal at a good restaurant. One of my collegues is a great fan of fois gras, so we are having a dinner on sunday evening. But I dont think we should pay more than

You mean his company's budget. Safe travels, check out some AD's if you have any time to take in sights.

Wow, read a review, and Le Grand Vefour sounds great. But I want to keep my job, so I should at least half the price for dinner

But thanks for all the great tips. I will read up on them.

Not sure how to get to Maisons Lafitte, but probably taxi unless there is a train I can take?

BTW, besides Le Grand Vefour, where can I find the best Fois Gras?

Regards

Thanks. Good to know its the right area to stay in.

Hi guys,

I am going to Paris on a business trip in the beginning of February. Its only for three days, but since its my first time in Paris, I want to stay somewhere close to everything - if possible

My meeting are in Maisons-Laffitte, and as I understand, there is not much going on there. So I was thinking of maybe this hotel:

Its located at 41 avenue Marceau, so not far from the Champs Elysees. Is it an ok hotel or part of the city to stay in? Or would any of you recommend somewhere else?

And if this is ok, do any of you recommend any restaurants close by? Preferably with a famous chef, or with a Michelin star or two

Regards

I thought I saw a yellow model once?

Not to steel the post, but Fedex is no better.

My package with two watches from China was delivered to someone named Zoe in the UK on Monday, despite it being addressed to Norway. Even the fedex traking site says so.

Called them, and they didn't have a clue why this happened. And still no feedback from them as to when I will receive it.

Got myself 25, so guys, just stop the lottery now and hand it over

Drawing is on my birthday, so I just know its gonna be mine.

Swapped the screw from my Tag Link 7750 over to the IWC, and now the watch is working great

It is so beautiful. I will try to take some pics over the weekend. Spending it at sea in the lovely fjords of Norway. The weather forecast is looking good too.

Thanks to Andrew also for sending me a new screw for the missing one.

I've had a good look, and unfortunately cant find anything

Thanks for the tip. I will try that.

Regards

It should be very easy if you have the right caseback tool.

If you were in EU, I could even do it for you.

Hi Pugs. Thanks for quick reply. I opened up the case, and it seems that the screw which is to hold the rotor is completely missing. Checked the case and the movement and its gone.

If anyone has a screw that will fit the movement which is in the 3717 I would of course pay for it and shipping to Norway. And would be very greatful

Andrew has offered to send some screws, but that will probably take a while.

Just got my IWC by DHL today, but to my disappointment, the rotor is loose. You can hear it scratching against the case back, and the power reserve isnt working unless you manually wind the watch.

Any chance I can fix this myself? I dont have a watchsmith I can use, and I really dont want to ship it back to China

What made you buy from them?

Beautiful watch. Congrats!
