OH Yeah! I just received my 4th Rep IWC Pilot Chrono from Puretime Angus First Impression; NO GOOD My God!! It's GORGEOUS! Absoultely beauty-beast! sample review here : 1.) Follow the Straight instructions to adjust time first set to 6:00am then adjust the Day-Date. My IWC haven't got the famous DAY-DATE mis-alignment + fonts desortion painting problem ....trust me absolutely great! Seems Angus work this out! 2.) Strong AR compare with my daily wearing EXPII! 3.) During my adjustment; compare with my serviced Daytona 116509@6. I can feel the movement are DRY!!!! No good but all we know the A7750 are NOT well oiled & service when they sold. 4.) The leather-strap are bad looking as prefered.... 5.) Both Springbars are too thin & already loosed one of them into the package box when arrived...... 6.) Deployant-Buckle are more difficult to use for me....Maybe I just too stupid at all 7.) Power-reserve are strong, How I know? Angus confirmed order on Monday morning & ship out afternoon,after 2 days I got my watch it still running.... Right now several things I'll going to do immediately: 1.) send it to my local watchsmith who serviced my Daytona 1 week before to Overhaul & service it well 2.) change both springbar for strap...I don't want my watch go-off in future because the thin springbars 3.) work out an excuse to CHEAT my lovely wife......I make a promise to her I'm NOT going to purchase any watch within 2 years since 8 months ago I bought 3 rolex reps almost at the same time.......SHXT ...Don't be a fool like me folks! After I get it back from my watchsmith; I'll give u all a full review + photos. Thx Angus! Thx all bros here to help me gather informations & give me advice! Cheers! RCKH

Almost 6 months ago I purchase my first first dream rep in my life; Daytona 116509 BLK dial @6sec. No luck for my watch it just last 2 weeks & start to stop 3~4 times a day. My local dealer was arrested by custom after my purhcase.....Lost hope & think I just wasted HKD$3000 for a BEAUTIFUL piece of junk. I found this RWG several months before ; after long time study & I finally understand the problem (also improve my knowlegde in watch). With luck I found a local watchsmith who fix & maintain most famous Gen watch. Last week I take my watch to him for checking; he recommend me to service my watch for HKD$800.-. 2 Days ago I got my watch back & wear for 2 days. Seems after servicing watch run more accurate +/-2 sec a day & smooth than before. I don't know how long will it may last as it got potential problem of the extra gears. Hope it will last long! Is there any one would like to share after servicing their Daytona@6sec, how long yours Daytona last? Sorry for my terrible english.... rckh

Dear All: As I know; there are only 2 versions of PO chrono: 1.) Asian 7750 2.) Japan Quartz. Except Japan Quartz version price below USD$200. Seems most price from varies-dealer shouldn't have too large different. I almost got one for myself b4; but I found a MAJOR not MINOR flaw on PO chrono & stop me immediately. The chrono at 9:00 & 3:00 are too small compare with gen. After I discuss with my local dealer; they said that it can't be fix due to 7750 movement size. If PO chrono on your MUST HAVE LIST; the only way u should go for Japan Quartz version. B`cause it got a better size arrangement (Better!! Not same as Gen still a little be smaller). Also; the date-wheel colour are wrong too (Gen one should be black base+white fonts!!). But some dealer already fix this minor colour flaw already. Hope this could help! BR, Raymond
