They didn't question rep or gen at all ! They just liked the look of it regardless of branding

That's what I said after a split second of wondering what to do.. and not wanting people on site to know I like nice watches

Me too, looks like it's gone.

so you buy their genuine straps and not other easily available aftermarket straps. Strap options for IWC (Ingenieur, Aquatimer) and AP (AP ROO, ROJ etc) are not copius and easy to find... so the owners of genuines may go for the watch company for extra strap options... and make them more money.

I went to the canteen to get lunch today and the lady serving the food said she liked my watch (AP RB2). My first feeling was to go off talking about APs etc but I stopped myself... I don't want to be a watch bore in public! Anyway, what are other people's reactions?

There's also a guy with the same user ID on ebay which is probably him.

Do you think a standard ETA 7750 would swap in similarly? PS. Concepta: i don't want to step on your toes and stop any sales with that question! Obviously the genuine IWC movement is the thing to have in this watch if you love it

The old slower beat Asian 7750 copy had the same hand sizes as ETA 7750, as The Zigmeister stated in his original reviews. The higher beat has never had the same hand sizes (for some unknown reason they changed the sizes) as far as I know. There are newer slower beat Asian 7750 copies which have different hand sizes to ETA 7750 as well, I believe. I think I've seen a The Zigmeister post stating as much. Or perhaps it was someone else. If you are doing the hand size adjustment yourself, I don't know how it's done. As you're in EU, you can ask Bricciola, who is experienced with that problem. I'm sure The Zigmeister can too, once he's back from holiday (edit: hmmmm both Bricciola and The Zigmeister on holiday at the same time.... are they one and the same ? )

Have a great summer

Are they trying to make men obsolete and unnecessary? Can a woman really live without a man ? I doubt it Even if they don't need a man to make a baby.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8142104.stm

I have a feeling you will have the pleasure of handling these movements Some people get all the luck!

Great plate! Now how to fix the date being "cut off" by the tachymetre scale?

Me too!

Bricciola is in Germany. Tomhighway is in the UK but I don't know him, I think he was on RC before and has his own section here, so is probably reliable

Thanks I always double-check with the dealer beforehand Well, unless it's J, I don't think he likes me! I have to get out of this rep game

Welcome! Hope you can make a nice home here like everyone else

I thought Angus had this as well? Coolfire: who did you order yours from, if not J&A?

That's probably next to impossible I still can't find any for my AMG Ingenieurs, or the SS versions...

With the date window slightly out, the genuine movement won't look so good

Dammit, you're making me want to get one of these ceramics now
