Another vote here for the TZ sales corner. TZers generally take great care of their watches and there are some great deals to be found if you are patient (but you have to act quickly). Be cautious on eBay because you never know what you are going to get.

Wow, you were sent a replica of a totally different watch. That may explain why all of the differences. Here is the gen:

That BOB strap looks awesome on that watch.

Well, today is the first day of spring and a good time for some spring cleaning. Welcome to the new board.

Did you check with King? I believe they had/have the same supplier for this watch.

OEM quality is great. Comparing to the aftermarket is tough. There are some aftermarket straps that are better quality than OEM and others (most) that are not as good.

All dealers are a little different. You just need to find who you are comfortable working with. Many of the most common watches come from the same factories, but not all. I have not heard any complaints from the asian movement you are talking about. The chrono is a different story.

I agree with Richard. Winders are mainly for convenience. They probably won't hurt your watch much, and probably won't really help much either as long as your movement is properly serviced. As for the 7750, the one that comes in the IWC is the higher quiality asian copy if I am not mistaken. My advice is just to minimize use of the chronos and don't set the date between 10pm and 2am. It should hold up fine with normal use. Hope that helps!

Why do factories make watches like this. So ugly!

Welcome! Glad that you made it!

This site will replace the old RWG. It is not really dead, just migrated. Welcome to the new site!

Great idea. Its funny how looking at some watches, you can tell that the sweep is too smooth and just doesn't look right.

It has been there.

Moved to 'Off Topic'. I was waiting for a swan neck regulator joke.

Maybe a movement upgrade?

Here's a bad picture of one I got from EL a few months ago. It's an awesome watch. NOTE: It came on the ss bracelet which I swapped for the NATO. The bracelet is great.

An arcade would be sweet, but not too many games.

Great thread. Anna Kournikova wearing Omega.

Very Impressive.

I agree. The Mark watches would be so easy to replicate. I hope that they do so soon. I would pick one up for sure!

Awesome Joe! What a great piece!
