I figured it out myself. No holes for dial feet.

Cannot find exact dial feet position for the ETA 2842. Is it the same in 2824 and 2836? Any advise? Thank you

Did you cure your fever for pilot watches? Any new family member? I am surprised not even one Spitfire IWC, the beauty of those dials is embarassing.

tube and crown.

Truth to be told the accuracy of reps improved dramatically in the past 2 years. It's a shame the quality of the movements is still unpredictable and might make a significant difference in terms of TC, especially for 7750 movements, not cheap to source. 1. Expectations are everything. Some people can be happy with a eta clone with a 12 hour power reserve, someone else would prefer not to wind the watch and set the time twice per week. 2. Overall I agree that prices are too high in most cases, there are still good deals though. I personally haven't bought a new rep in years (well, the main reason is my favourite brand, IWC is not very popular among factories)...for me only M2M. I am buying only watches I like a LOT, unlike in the past when I was used to buy and "release" quite often. And I am always prepared to replace the movement myself. Besides that, if I buy a rep I consider in the Total Cost a movement replacement. My experience hasn't been so positive with rep movements (I am allergic to A21j, Miyota are reliable but the stuttering sec hand is not something I appreciate....as for A2824...well they have usually very bad power reserve, reason enough to replace or service the movement...imho). I have been lucky with A2892 in some IWCs. 3. Skills. I reckon tech skills are essential to enjoy reps if you care about extra money out of the pocket for fixing a broken crown, replace hands or a movement, fix a keyless work, stuck datewheel. Reps tend to get broken easily and mailing your watch to a watchmaker is annoying and costy. If small fixes cannot be performed on your own...well, the cost of a rep might double fast.

Hey mate, sorry to hear that. Hope the parcel will show up soon, sometimes they just dissappear from the radar for a little while

Thanks mate, I can confirm 20mm as well, I bought one in the meantime

Thanks mate, I will give a try in the week end hopefully...not much spare time lately

or, even better, find somenone who can fix your clasp.

Rolexman, do you mean the stop lever? Nope, I didn't . I actually never touched the balance bridge, I read might be tricky to put it back in place.

yes it run well for couple of hours

Hi Everyone, I had to replace the stop lever on my 2824. The fix was successfull but after one night the movement stopped running and now I can see the balance wheel is stuck and doesn't oscillate anymore. I can move it in one direction but it is completely blocked in the opposite way. Keyless work is fine, I can set the time, wind the movement and change the date. As said it doesn't oscillate anymore. No idea what might be wrong. Any suggestion? Thank you !

Oh boy...you look like a girl with that tiny watch. Cromag, Mark XVI is too small for your wrist, sell it to me! Jokes aside, that bracelet comes from a Mark XV, unfortunately no bracelet has been released for the Mark XVI

Mark XVI is not bad either, too bad it comes with leather strap only

Hi everyone, question for all Mark XVII owners: Could you please check your rep and let me know if the lug width is 20mm or 21mm? It would be great to know the measure and the model of the watch (kuvarsit A21j or the more expensive 2892). I am asking that because in the past I heard there were different versions and different lug widths. Thanks!

Nice watch but the landscape..just WOW

Hey Donerix, marvellous pics as usual..I am a bit confused though...did you do something to make the super glossy bezel insert.. less shiny? Don't get me wrong, your insert looks so much better! Thank you

would it be possible to swap the insert alone?

Are you looking for a gen tube? If rep tube , better to ask to trusted dealers

Grab a IWC Mark XVI (39mm diameter and quite slim, super comfortable to wear) Also, a 42mm PO (old version) wears smaller than expected...it is not super thin though

I am picky and I would have accepted it

I do love Omega but this watch just doesn't sing to me

I couldn't agree more...it doesn't sing to me at all.

Beautiful watch and it fits your wrist perfectly! AR is excellent!

I sold mine and I miss it. It is a gorgeous watch.
