And now there is a 3rd run via Ryan!

Motörhead anyone?

How can we talk heavy metal without Lemmy... OF COURSE! My favourite LP is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%27n%27_Roll_(Mot%C3%B6rhead_album)

Some more delicious pics...

What's the damage on one of those then?

12.000 Euros...

Just not tasty... tried it on at Heathrow Thursday evening...

I would take any one of of these now, as parcel lost in post! Waiting for the search results...

Hi,

so here my story…

I sold a watch 4 months ago, that now broke with the new owner. Now the buyer wants a +/- full refund. He says that he never wore, as it is a summer watch.

I offered to fix it for him for free, if I could, but he chose to ask a watch smith, that then diagnosed a main spring issue…

I offered to buy it back for spares at 30% of the selling price (100USD), which I think is fair… I am not a dealer, so a guarantee or such I cannot give of course… and it is four months with him.

He paid via PP gift and has now threatened to “report me” to VISA…

Am I a scammer?

Tried this version today, but prefer the white version...

I took both...

Hi,

here the watch;

- RG-ceramic cased HBB Tourbillon
- with TX crystal
- V1 buckle

Here the pic that started my idea:

Here 2 great donerix straps.... and now the question: The left strap or the right one?

- Left: more sporty

- Right: more elegant

Which should I take?

We are ALL looking for quality replicas 

I am also looiong high quality BJ's, but all you get here is rep stuff.... and a rep BJ frightens me!

I need some help too.... lookig for Grade AAA+++ Swiss made HBB

i started drooling after first three pics when suddenly the last pic killed me

Sorry, yes I have a hairy wrist!

I always wonder why someone need to spend so much on a watch????

Because only a gen is a gen....

My first thought was how much do service cost with that.

Basic service is 750 Euros!

Very pretty. Perpetual big pilot....

Nearly, it is not the pilot version, but a regulare IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar.

Hi,

pics say more then words! These where 5 great minutes.

Indeed hit and miss. Have had a lot of these with seconds @ 12 with the new jeweled movement. I also know some local resellers that stopped selling them, because they could not offer 6 months warranty on these ones.

 

The extra gears make extra drag on the movement. It takes more power to let the gear train run. The A7750 often are dirty or under/over oiled. Makes it run less good. So also with the extra gears, there you have it: most experience shorter powerreserve, some less than 8-10 hours.

 

Servicing the movement will solve most of these problems. But that takes an investment of around 200usd. I figure, someone who can pay 500usd for a rep, should take the service cost into serious consideration.

 

If you want to keep the watch for years, I'd say: service it from day 1.

Talking to the local watch maker here who does my services, he says service when needed! Not before, as if it runs it runs, if not THEN you can still service! Worst thing is the lack of spare parts which might be needed!

10 months and runing withno issues!
 

GREAT! What is the IP!?

Hi there,

I wear my RG watches daily! So the quality of the RG is VERY important! For HBB’s via RG-ceramic this question has been solved, but what about the RG DLC/PVD plating on Juan Pablo Montoya ROO? Yes, the dealers state 5x more, but is that true… does anybody have experience?

Thanks,

Dutchy
 

Now we have pretty much all Dutch members here, is there a watch smith among us from the Netherlands?

This is like 40 min from my hometown, maybe I'll be there
