  1. Hey all 

    I have managed to loose a screw from this bar that holds the end of the strap together.

    On these Navitimer straps the final bar is held in place with two screws unlike the rest of the links so I don't have any spares.

    does anyone know where I can get one of these screws or even a replacement bar and two screws

    Thank so much in advance

  2. I am loving my watch by the way :-) its probably my favourite in my ( quite big ) collection !!!

    One thing thats puzzling me is how to remove the caseback ? --- I tried my usual ball trick back to no avail ..... am I missing something  ?

    Cheers in advance

    Steve

  3. Wow thank you for the replies

    And higginsd I really appreciate such a detailed response ......

    I am indeed going to get the faux version ; but I'll stick with josh having bough maybe 20 reps from him already !

    I can't wait to get my first IWC !

    Steve

  4. That's the one that Angus would list as V1 then ? .... I can't see how the working PR would be accurate especially for 7 days anyway ....

    Thanks for the advice ; i

    I think some of the TD Listings are a bit inaccurate anyways of what a 5002 is ; unless there are legit variations anyway !

  5. Hey all

    Think it's time to get a IWC in my collection

    This is the one I like best ; I think it's called a 5002 ?

    But none of the reps I find on our TD's seem to be quite right ; missing number 9 ; faux reserve ; some working reserve

    I know it's a noob question but anyone have any recommendations ?

    I normally buy everything from josh or silix

  6. Thanks ceejay , actually the watch has developed more problems ; one chrono button has fallen out and the bezel and crystal are coming away from the body .... I should imagine that one of the retaining screws has come loose

    .... It's on it's way back now ...

  7. Ceejay - yes exactly as you describe ..... thank you ... are the hand keyed in someway when installed ? I mean a finite number of install positions ? 

    I know I am thread stealing a bit - sorry !

     

    its Such a beauty - btw I have tiny wrists too !

  8.  

    I have one of these = Received it today ....

    it is stunning !!!

    Mine has a issue though ; it seems that the hour hand may be one 'step' out of position 

    I dont know what to do - return back to Josh who I am sure will help me out ( he is my TD ) or live with it ....

    It was super super expensive would just have hoped for better 

    Also a point to not that the rotor is so loud and heavy It sound like a very loud kids toy on my wrist !

     

    took a nice pic outdoors

    and sorry for the awful indoor pic showing the hand problem

     

    Anyone have a view on what I should do the the 2 problems ? Hands and Noise ?

     

    Any feedback much welcomed

     

    Steve

  9. Hey All

    I have searched for days and days

    I have looked at so many storage solutions but cannot find what I want

    I really want a watch box or briefcase that has a handle ....

    also I want the watches to be stored on pillows

    so that it don't matter what way round the box is the watches stay still and safe

    I have 4 of  6 grid watch boxes with the glass windows and they really annoy me as they must be held the right 

    way around

    Can anyone recommend anything in the UK 

    thx

    Steve

  11. thx chaps !

    I will see what the TD has to say ...

    I took some really close pics ... interesting that under the paint is black ..... 

    a proper rolex bezel is actually coloured ceramic ... so repainting this maybe tricky as the standard procedure seems to be to wipe away excess paint with nail varnish remover ... 

    I rekon that could lift the blue too ...

  12. :-) I guess i expected it to look like the QC pics on Trusty Time or Perfect Clne - its shown very bright green ...

    I was expecting it to be as removed from black - as my Blue Sub is .....

    Still love it .... just wish it looked like the pics !

  13. Hi all ; I think this green sub is what is referred to as a hulk although I am bit 100%

    I show here my black and green subs together in natural daylight taken on my iPhone 5

    When I received the green one I was somewhat underwhelmed by how green it is ; on the TD web site is shows as very very green bright green in fact - but the TD assures me this is the correct green I have received

    Please as never having seen a real one in the flesh does this green look right ?

    Thx
