Still one of the best in my book

Nice, very underestimated pilot watch!

Did you find a spare HV?

Happy Holidays everyone, I am aware this is not the right section but please have mercy :( I am looking for a IWC Aquatimer GST (titanium preferably but ss is fine too). It's the chrono version with asian 7750 movement. Please send me a pm if you have one for sale (even if broken with missing parts) Many thanks!

No, it's not
-
It should be powered by a A2836. You can buy a ETA 2836 but you'd better check hands height if you want to attempt the movement swap yourself.

Get a gen if the idea of wearing a rep bothers you so much and , as kernow said, decide yourself if the gen is really worth the extra bucks and sell one, rep or gen.
-
Very good to know. I wasn't aware of that. I might ask a tailored made kit for me as well. Thanks!!!
-
Very interesting, thanks for sharing I am gonna buy the online course as soon as the EURO gets stronger on the USD. Exchange rate sucks right now Hopefully it won't take more than 5 years

Get it fixed and ask him a compensation or voucher for the next order

Couldn' agree more, PC was my fav website where to check new releases. It' not anymore.

AFAIK Crown IWA11296 Tube IWA02171 Ask a confirmation to SW

3707 and 3719 have completely different crown I would be surprised if they had interchangeable tubes. Why don' you source gen crown and tube for the 3719? Cost is probably higher but risk free.

That's a difficult task. I am afraid electroplating is the only solution, as you said the risk of rubbing the plating off is serious

Ebay listing - Rep xvii bracelet on xvi (gen or rep?)

My bad, you are absolutely right, bracelet is rep -
Ebay listing - Rep xvii bracelet on xvi (gen or rep?)
ryaku replied to denimhead's topic in The IWC Area
Not sure if the seller changed pictures but it seems all legit to me. The ss bracelet is not from a XVII but it might come from a UTC version (endlinks are thicker). I am saying that because the fitment doesn't look perfect but it might be caused by wrong springbars too. -
Mate, everyone here would advise you to quit your project. If you are willing to create a franken, buy a IWC TG powered by A7750. Those are the best and a perfect base for a franken IWC.

Do you really wanna invest big money in that rep case?
-
Always a beauty! I believe that's the most beautiful AT ever.
-
That was a bargain. Post a picture!
-
It's an easy upgrade but you need gen date wheel too. No doubt gen dial is the big step up.

Black SMP Franken-Project - Nothing but trouble

Look for a gen dial on eBay! -
Totally agree. The new Aquatimers are so much disappointing for me too, despite being fairly accurate (AR can be fixed easily, the wrong wording in the caseback is not a deal breaker for me). Someone posted a picture on RWI and the diameter seems to be spot on (42mm, like the gen). I wish they repped properly the old 3719 instead.
