Not to detract but has anyone replaced the Asian movement?

Thank You

Bought this watch from Josh in march, dropped it two days ago. If I tap it, it will run for like fifteen seconds then stops. While its being repaired I would also like to get it relumed. I was considering vac for this but I haven't seen any reference to iwc repairs or in this case whatever Chinese movement I have in the watch. Thank you for your advice.

Just got my QC pics from josh and the dial is noticeably tilted to the left. Is it reasonable to request one that isn't?

To clarify, this is selvedge asimplefarmer mentions a couple different things that are accurate but can also be misleading. Selvedge generally means longer lasting because of that natural stitch which is stronger then a non-selvedge jean. Asimplefarmer also mentions qualities that are exclusive to Raw Denim and these are not all interchangeable. For example you can have a crappy denim that has a wash and has the selvedge stitch and you can also have raw denim (which has no wash) and not have a selvedge stitch. If your just trying out Raw Denim check out Cheap Mondays Alive and Drys they can be found for 30-60 dollars, if you have a little more of a budget check out Nudies, or Naked and Famous. TLDR: just because its selvedge doesn't imply its raw or its of a better quality.

Just wanted to mention that I love p90x and it is awesome in the summer. But during the winter where no one is going to see much of your body besides you and your women I decided to check out www.stronglifts.com who have a great starter program that builds muscle fast using a 5 x 5 technique. I'm currently doing it and I have to say after you do feel like your plateau'ing on p90x its worth looking in to. Best of all its free!

I hope to be at your next sale. That is one beautiful watch.

And LIKE IT CAME IT WENT! Yesterday the watch stopped ticking. I have a feeling I was given the seagull movement and not a swiss eta because after only one month the watch has stopped working. Hopefully I am able to resolve this with Joshua and from the sounds of most of his reviews he is a gentlemen, but its still very frustrating that my first watch has already broken. I really hope this gets resolved soon my WRIST FEELS NAKED!

Sorry for the delay haven't had a computer for awhile (just got a new macbook pro though!) but here are the pictures I wanted to put up. They are a little blurry because I took them with my phone and maybe I'll put a wrist shot up later...either way I'm really satisfied. Please if there are any movement experts out there that could help determine what it is that I have I would really appreciate it! Thanks for all your help, I really do appreciate this forum! -Ben

Well its been over a year and I finally pulled the trigger and bought a watch from Josh. When I opened the watch up I was about as ecstatic as I've ever been, I can tell that this is going to be an addictive hobby. I couldn't believe the replication on this watch I was thoroughly impressed by its feel and its accuracy when compared with the real thing. Unfortunately my watch does have a couple tell tale signs that I'm working on modifying. First I was unfortunate enough to receive a caseback which reads constellation instead of aqua terra, I was able to polish this off but it still irks me quite a bit. After looking back on Bytors reviews I am also hesitant to believe that I have a genuine Eta 2824 movement and instead I think it might be a low quality seagul movement. If I post pictures of the movement through the caseback would anyone be able to identify it? I'd really appreciate it. I think either way I am going to keep it, but it would be helpful knowledge for the future. Thanks, -Benew0

Am I just being a noob? Or should I take it that there is no review and I should buy it and write one? -Ben

I have girly wrists. Let me rephrase that, boldy petite wrists and 39mm is perfect for them (I realize the rep is 38mm). Currently I was between the IWC Mark XVI (which was a complete bust, but hopefully wm9 does something worth spending money on) and then also the Tag Heuer Classic Carrera or the Twin Time version. I know the reviews for the XVI haven't been great but what I'm not quite sure of at the moment is how great of a rep the Classic Carrera or Twin Time version of this watch is. I understand that its been mentioned in Bytor's guide yet there hasn't been a member review that I've been able to find. Does anyone have any experience good or bad with this watch? Thanks, -Benjamin

Has anyone noticed at Josh's new site they have it with a Swiss Eta 2824-2? Really unfortunate that the fonts aren't bold enough...I've been holding out for this watch for awhile.
