  2. "Schaffhausen" runs too long on 3717?

    in The IWC Area

    Posted · Edited by MJP

    I noticed KingWatch's (picture, anyway) was different (closer to gen) than Joshua's and Andrew's ("SCHAFFHAUSEN" runs longer)

    The original IWC is closer to King's ("SCHAFFHAUSEN" runs the same width of the day/date window on original)

    Old news? Who should I order from?

    Any comments--Thanks

  7. Opinion Poll: Do The Rep Makers Purposely Change Them

    in General Discussion

    I've said it before, in the spirit of ubiquitous' post, I'd love to commission a short run of some parts to be made, specifically a new dial and datewheel for the swiss PAM250. B(uild)IY.

    The more people out there who can reach a site like RWG before buying the better--forcing makers to ideally keep the quality up if they want to sell watches

    The watch that really got this thread going for me was the Flieger--rated like #5 in "the best" list but it has so many dial problems that could have been easily corrected. The rest of the watch overall looks [censored], but they decided to skew the top sub numbers, exclude the white circles around the subs, etc. I'm still not sure why it is on the list.

    This question haunts me the more I look at reps...the more I see little things that could have easily been copied to perfection, especially on the dial, font choice or placement, etc.

    Is this really the way they avoid litigation or something, or do they have really bad attention to detail?

    Please enlighten us RWG vets. MODS: If this thread subject is inappropriate or sensitive, or just plain too naive, for any reason, just delete it with my apologies.

    THIS QUESTION APPLYS ONLY TO THOSE WATCHES WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY TO GET IT RIGHT, as opposed to where they were cutting a considerable amount of costs by using cheaper materials and /or processes. Obviously a lot of them fall in to this catagory, so lets exclude those.

    If you think it's both, choose which you think is the primary reason.

    This is THE thread, IMO.

    The mitigating factor in all this is ones aesthetic attraction to the gen's design. From there, its a matter of how many, or the severity of, differenciating flaws that youre willing to overlook. Thats the only disconnect in a list like this. But if you like the way a watch looks AND it's on the list, youre golden, pony boy.

    Is the Flieger really that close? I thought the gen doesn't have "AUTOMATIC" on it?

    Also, how's the Spitfire, IY'allsO?
