I've been looking for one too. What does Homer need to sell them for to actually make $?

You know something that you only know because you are entrusted to do something on behalf of the company and you are using it for personal gain. If its just a tip from someone who is not entrusted in that way, I dont think it is wrong... your just acting on someone's opinions.... what makes it insider trading and wrong is that someone KNOWS something and they know it for a reason and that reason is that someone trusted them and they are misusing that trust...

Your sig is really the reasonn I read this thread... too much really... makes me like her much, much more!

Good for you! This was never a good idea. The consequences are just way too bad.

OK, I guess the verdict is that this guy doesn't seem all that qualified-- at least based on this experience. I for one will just deal with the delay in the post to get the great service The Zigmeister offers. That is, unless I decide to make the treck to Vernon Hills and try that guy out... Ah well, at least it was worth a try. Hope this info helps someone out there.

Thanks, The Zigmeister!

And, he's sending a new one as soon as the old one goes in the mail, so I dont lose all that shipping time. That's above and beyond in my book. So I fell very taken care of after all. Thanks, Josh!

Apparently, I am too! Didn't mean to open a can of worms. As I said, he has always taken great care off me in the past, and I didn't mean to give him 'bad press.'

Josh just emailed me to send it back.. he will sort it out. Probably silly to doubt his customer service... I know there's a reason I keep going to him even if the prices are a little higher... and this is it. I'll post how it turns out, although I am sure it will be fine.

I have no doubt he will take care of it for me. Josh has always been absolutely the BEST of all the dealers I have dealt with and he's never let me down yet. But, sending back is such a hastle, I hate to do it if I can avoid it. Oh well, better to have something in great shape, so I'll send it back.

Absolutely agree with that. He never told me he was sick. Anyway, let me see if my guy can fix... then, if not, I will push to send back. No need to hastle him if he's sick. But, if it is going to cost me more money, then he should take care of it. I am not in a rush...got plenty of other watches...

OK.... I can be patient. But, how would you proceed? I mean, would you try to push to send it back? Give the local guy one more shot? Wait til June when I can send to The Zigmeister? I am inclined give the local guy another shot (it's free anyway with the guarantee), then, if its still broken, push hard to return it. Why should I pay more than I already have to have it fixed when it was broken when brand new...d

That's what I was thinking!

I have a brand new Ingy Ti with Swiss 2824 from Josh. It looks fantastic, and runs great... for a while... maybe 12 hrs or 18 hrs... then it will just stop. It'll run again if you give it a good strong shake or if you unscrew the crown. Because I HATE sending things back to China, I took it to the local guy, who said the mainspring was broken. Says he replaced it and gave it an overhaul... but it still does EXACTLY the same thing. Any of you guys who know more than me have any idea why it does this? Josh says 'movement is new... keep it running and it will get better...' Yeah, right. What do you think? Should I take it back to the local guy (who said it was fixed and offered a 1 year guarantee)... Should I try to send it back (dont know if I can now that I opened it...)? Or, should I just wait and send it to The Zigmeister in June? What do you think?

Interesting. Asian or Swiss? I brought an IWC ingy in TI with Asian ETA. He said... "this is a very nice watch. sometimes they come with cheap chinese movements that I can't fix... cant get parts for them..." At least he is honest about what he can and cant do.

See, now I am all nervous, which is why I asked if anyone had tried him! You should have told me I will let you guys know what happens. Honestly, if I over pay for something, its worth it not to have to wait for 5 days each way in the post or to have to drive 4 hrs to and back from Vernon hills twice! But, only if he's good. For what it's worth, today I asked all those questions and he was very nice in answering. Promised to replace the spring, clean and service the watch (the right way by taking it all apart etc-- I probed a lot), lube all the seals and waterproof test for $100. Not a bad price I think.

OK, guys, I am giving him a try. Spoke to him today and took in my IWC. He seems very knowledgeable, very open, very friendly, and has all the right equip-- watch analyzer, water proof tester, the whole nine yards. Needs to do a complete service and replace a mainspring on my watch. Will take about a week, and I'll update everyone on the work after it comes back and I give the watch a couple of days of testing. But, initial impression is pretty good. J

For what it's worth, I went for the Ingy AMG TI from Josh with double AR. First impressions-- very impressed... one of my best reps for sure. 1. AR is great. Not as good as Jakub's, but pretty darn good 2. Fit and finish is fantastic. But, texture a little different (more grainy) than the gen. 3. Red numerals are NOT as red as the gen. 4. Finish on the deployant and watch head is fantastic... deployant looks to have been in a tumbler... no tell-tale roughness in the tight spots. 5. Kevlar strap is first rate. I will post pics soon and try to do a full review when I get a sec. Thanks for all the suggestions and help, guys. J

Thanks for all the input, guys. BUT... I am still stuck. Narrowed it down to: 1. UPO -- with all the mods 2. Ingy AMG in TI on Kevlar So... which of these two would you choose? They both cost the same, but I think the UPO crystal, tube, crown, and gen dial mods will more than double the price. Question is, is it worth it? Its 2x more for a rep of a gen that costs half as much!

I agree, but given that it's already posted and I live around the corner from him, I thought I'd see if anyone other than regulator had and experience with im...

anyone try this guy

Must have mistyped... was thinking Daylight. Thanks!

That's a great one! How true is it to the gen? I'll do some research too... BTW, don't you have an IWC AMG TI on kevlar? Or is that Rolli? I saw it on a wrist check and it's what made me catch the bug again... too many great reps, too few ways to explain this to the wife!

Are the logos still crooked on the orange UPOs?
