you guys are absolutely right.
Insurance companies are angels and we should respect their policies while China should be abused and exploited for their labor laws so we can benefit owning amazing looking time pieces with boxes and PAPERS.
I mean, i will never pay for boxes and papers as i don't care that much but it seems to morally OK around here.
2006 guys? you both are old members who have a lot of wisdom and experience with this. Thousands of dollars worth of reps have passed through your hands who were made by..... a few kids in a barn? please, spare me the "im better than you morally" attitude.
I'm over it too. I'm just happy that if I want peace of mind knowing my watch has genuine IWC parts I have the option to prove to myself by getting an issue of authenticity... for ME and ME only.
Anyways, I am personally sorry for crapping on the OP's thread (wasn't me who started it the crapping though...).
That is a beautiful watch you ordered and I can't wait to get mine too.
