Hi all, It has been a while ago that I have bought my latest rep, so I recently bought a AP Diver, and I really like it. It is a well build watch, and for the last week it is my daily watch. But I noticed today that one screw is missing. Where can I find some replacement screws?

After a break from reps, and started collecting military watches like CWC, Hamilton, Benrus, and recently I could not resist in buying two reps I really liked, but never have bought before. So last week I bought a JLC Navy Seals master compressor (with bracelet), and a ZF IWC 3714. The first one is a great tool watch, and maybe I am going to swap the Asian movement with a Swiss one. The second one is a great dress watch, and I am thinking about replacing some parts (dial, hands, crystal) with gen parts I already have in my toolbox. During my break from reps I have started taking classes in watchmaking, so the first thing I will do is take these watches apart, and cleaning/swap the movements myself. Happy to be back into reps, and on this great resource on information. I am still enjoying my uber franken HH 5514 which I have build with the help of some great guys of this forum.

I have recently bought 2 gen slightly damaged IWC Big Pilot dial on fleebay, and I am wondering if there is someone who can fix the damaged spots on these dials. The damage was caused by crappy storage. These were relatively cheap, the one with the damaged 4 marker was bought for $16, and the other one was $41. (excl. shipping cost) I thought this is a very nice for gen dials which I am planning to use in a franken project.

Sorry, I can't make it. I am in Japan around that period.

I could use a pack.

Too bad these are not made anymore. Would like to own one.

Damn, I need this one!!

Is there someone who is already using this? It looks usefull for our hobby. https://frederiqueconstant.com/analytics/

It is indeed a big watch, but it does not feel that big and heavy. The rep strap is replaced by a Donerix strap which looks so much better. The sandblasted crown is replaced by a SS crown from another BP, like on the gen.

It has been a while since I have bought my last rep because I have started collecting Mil watches, and my focus for the last 6 months was on them. But I was still looking at reps, and when I saw a very nice rep of a Big Pilot on RWI I had to buy it. This was a IWC Big Pilot Patrouille Suisse made by ZF. Compared to the gen there are a lot of differences, but it is still a very nice watch. (I really like the sandblasted case) GEN: REP:
