fit in a normal 7750 is useless... it could be done by fitting the module that is on top of the asian 7750 on the swiss 7750, but the problem isn't the asian 7750, but is the module which is of really poor quality a 7753 has a different date position so forget it only option is one 7750 with german made module that i just bought for top $$$ could be fit in... only thing is that Ziggy would have to make a slight adjustment to make one of the stems longer (the module is higher that a normal 7750 is, so the stems are slightly short). The module used in this one has been made by Guinand watches in Germany and they are the new firm of Helmut Sinn, the founder of Sinn watches... good quality i guess Normal jewels for the bearings, no steel on steel here, hahaha.

I posted this problem almost 2 months ago as well... got 2 brand new PO's from Eddie and both had stripped tubes so i had to sent them back. Horrible quality!!

from home -> always time out from work -> no problem...

From my work i can log in on it and that's also in Europe Does he only allow non european IP ranges? Or what is the deal? There must be somebody who can explain how does works...

I mailed him as well long time ago in the beginning... no answer at all But how is this technically possible????

Hey guys... well i can't enter RWI from my home address... but i can from my work's pc. At my work i actually have no time to read the posts on RWI so i wanted to log in some time but found out RWI is always timed-out from my place whenever i type in the URL it does do nothing... Can somebody please tell me how that's possible? And what i can do about it?

Hi Tim, you are soooo right! The watchindustry is made extra expensive by two major things... an expensive dealer network and the choice of market segment. Say if a brand has the same in house movement for decades and decades, the same design diver & chrono watches.... let's name that brand Rollie. Do you really think it's the cost that makes this watch this expensive? No! It's choice!!

Hi Andrew... with all respect but this list is BS Normally there's a 30% profit for the importer, 30% profit for the Authorised Dealer, in Europe almost all countries charge around 20% taxes, than you have the expensive transport (special secured value transport). I hardly believe the ceremic is $1000,- per watch, i can't believe design is $1000,- per watch. Of the $8000,- minus profit of importer, AD and taxes there remains a watch that Hublot will get around $3000,- for !!! Of that amount they design the watch, the concept etc... and make all the commercials & advertisement.

don't think it will be replicated... getting the case like this is probably really difficult if not impossible. But if they would get this done... :Jumpy:

hahahahaa, really good joke... i fell for it and really thought they caught us...

Eddie used to be one of the fastest, same like River and quite some of the dealers... lately it seems to me i hear more people complaining... and i don't mean the newbie wining...

I'm in for at leats one double sided IWC Ingenieur crystal Hopefully the Ingenieur chrono will arrive soon so i can sent 2 crystals

Not that i'm impatient... but... ahhh yes... i am impatient and would just llooooovvvveeee to know what the status is

Oooohhh yes!! Superlume, doubled sided blue AR coating & swiss valjoux!!

Nice watch... is it a so called 'mariage' watch where on old movement is put in a new case?

Ditto!!

Haven't heard from Angus for quite some time...

This post was not about some sort of dealer review, what it has become now... I understand dealers have their own websites, but that wasn't any different a year ago and the trading board was full with posts of them. Could there be something else wrong?

Doesn't the Ingenieur have a doubled sided AR coating???

Why is Sinn already a rep? To my knowledge Hemut Sinn started this brand long time ago. Later on they sold models and movements to Bell & Ross so they have been producing the same models for years as well. Now Hemut Sinn went to start another brand named Guinand watches and Chronosport which make some more or less equal watches. But Sinn was the first with the modells... so why would Sinn be a rep already? It's almost insulting to say this about a brand with a reputation like they have...

First of all sorry for not reading all the posts... so i don't know if someone already gave the same answer that i do here... I think buying reps is NOT stealing from the genuine brands. They have a limited production that sells out every year. The reps even contribute to their name because "everybody" wants to have or act like they have a rolex or panerai or breitling .. etc. I think this only effects the lower grade brands which are affordable... but won't be bought because they don't have the prestigous name and aura... and they are in the affordable price-zone where more people are capable of buying them. These brands are the biggest victims of the huge replica business IMHO.

It's awefully quite in the dealer section for some months now. Occasionally one of them puts a watch for sale but besides WO-Mart and Narikaa most of the hardly post here anymore. Why is that? Furthermore i see an increase in complaints about the quality and communication with dealers lately. Totall lack of quality control is one of the biggest issues. I guess to the huge frustration of customers AND dealers! I would like to hear your opinion on this trend that i think is hapening, but i'd like to hear the opinion of the dealers especially!! Neil, Paul, Eddie, Angus, Joshua, Trusty, PT, Sash and King... maybe you guys can shed some light on this. Is there maybe something we as customers can do to make it better/easier for you? Or maybe we can come to make things better together...

I think the Inge is coated on both inside and outside...

@ Chief... put me down for 2 crystals for the next run !!

Sounds good :) Now i need to find where i can get the crystal AR coated... not purple, but blue like the gen... any ideas?
