Magagne is absolutely right. Clear water and a very small quantity of soap softly brushed letting it dry at room temperature. A bit of body-milk or NIVEA after will take it back to a nice condition.

Narikaa has been always an specialist in some of the best reps at the best price. I wonder why people buy from the cartel having dealers as Narikaa.

US$ is down... quality has improved... blah, blah, blah... Please, someone explain me why chinese dealers as Josh,Andrew or king are selling non crhono ETA reps for + $300/350 when you can buy the exactly same watches at the chinese street markets for $100/120. Don't even dare to ask the same for chinese movements, as no one would be able to explain it when you can buy them at Guangzhou for $15. Edit: Although Hambone maybe could give us a good explaination, as it/he/she seems to be part of the cartel.

I think this is a fantasy IWC based on the Aquatimer - Automatic 2000, but in 2007 Cousteau's colors combinations. what for is the small hand ?... alarm or GMT ?

Hey guys... now HBB's are coming with a special screw driver for free !!! now it makes sense to spend $918 + shipping !!!!!

Don't worry.. they with pleasure will sell you one after cutting your... "prices"

Great reference DWSmoot ! Thank you !!!

History has shown us that Andrew or Josh were not very concerned in selling the same items 30, 40 or 50% more expensive than some other dealers so I find this their supposed good heart simply the joke of the day.

Amazing photos... and delitious politeness, as always.

yes.. be careful with Sash. Never dealt with him, but have heard horrible stories in the forums...

I second TTK. That watch looks done in purpose for the car.

So many to choose in your price range... and most of convertibles are so nice from every manufacturer... I will tell you what i did choosing mine: .- if you want a car to use almost every day: Lexus or Porsche. No problems at all, no strange sounds or repairs with a normal extensive use. .- if you want a car to use only some weekends: any other brand, from BMW to Mercedes, Cadillac, Maserati...etc. These cars are great for the weekend, but they will be at workshop the other 5 weekdays.

Sure you didn't had a gen in your hands, otherwise you'd have noticed the lack of strong AR on the rep and the difference in color on dial numbers and markers (gen are darkened metal, not shiny steel as in the rep).

Absolutely. This is just another example of cartel's pressure... I compare it with a UPO, GTXL, or a CARRERA and can't see anything in this watch that makes it be worth more than $200...

Everything sounds good... what is the final date to join this adventure ?

My heart do want to be in for 2 or 3... but my brain asks for some pics

My condolences to Reg and his beloved.

Sorry Wheaton26, but being honest... and from your pics.... pearl is awful, date font is wrong, dial numbers size is small... "co-axial chronometer" font is too high... numbers in bezel are too thick... He valve too low... crown looks also worst... as usual, one step ahead and 5 back... you better should keep your previous one wich had everything good but the logo feet.

I have opened all pics several times, and can't see the watch... ... should i look under the breast ?

having small flaws have become one of the main businesses for rep manufacturers... so never hope for a perfect one. They love people like you, buying every 6 months the new super duper ultimate of ultimates version

Totally agree

you mean those pieces of art done by a guy for $50 a month, 5 watches per day ? Are you calling me stupid ????????

wow ! more than a strap you need a belt !!

Well, looking at how things are going... I would say Irakies seems to be stronger..

I have been diving with my rep aquatimer 128 meters deep, taking a bounch of corals and everything worked perfect... .... until I felt down from the bed and waked up Thank you Gran for such interesting info
