well, thats interesting, except that, there is abig difference between "wins battle of watches" and "would recommend to a friend" I probably would recomend IWC to a friend who was not a watch nut - unless they could afford a patek whereas in the same price catagory, i'd go for a zenith or ulysse nardin

It is funny that different watches mean different things in certain circles. In my circle of friends nobody has an IWC watch. Many Cartiers, 1 Rolex wearer, and a lot of Omegas. But no IWC. But different strokes for different folks. That is what makes this a great hobby.

Anybody that can honestly think that we are "helping" the company by buying fakes of their products are insane. Morals aside, none of us are going to stop, but that is the truth.

Leave it to us, a bunch of people that are buying illegal goods to find the good in it.

Of course it is theft. It is the same thing saying that you invented a product. A company copies the exact same product and says, "well we are helping you advertise now".

You could try Ruby to source one.

It is back up now.

I was going through this same dilemma. I ended up getting a Tiffany watch. It is gorgeous and never repped.
