Nice, nice, nice! The lume does look good. Regarding the day alignment, have you cycled through all the days? On my GST chrono, some days look slightly crooked and others look fine. What's the A/R coating like? Looks like the perfect size for my 7.5" wrist, not too big and not too small.

Looking good! Mine should arrive later this week. I think this is a very flexible design, with a gator strap it goes nicely with a suit or more formal dress, with the bracelet or nylon strap it becomes sporty.

It's just you. Since CNY we've had the IWC Pilot Chrono, the improved PAM 199 and the improved Arktos, and those are just the models I am watching... there are probably others. I think this is going to be a good year for reps.

Cmon, you've had it for an hour already and you haven't posted any photos!

Eddie is showing why he has such a good reputation and is listening to our requests for info... he has posted an update in the general discussion: http://www.rwg.cc/members/iwc-all-pending-orders-t22349.html

I think it boils down to this: Some of the members asked Eddie when their watch would be shipped when they ordered. He could have said "in 2 weeks" or "in 30 days", but instead he gave a date in the near future, setting expectations. The date has come and gone, nothing shipped and there was a lack of communication from Eddie. There may have been some kind of problem, in which case, a quick e-mail or forum post to update everyone is all that is required (and Eddie did this). I am not suggesting that Eddie has scammed anyone, or has run away with our money. The lesson to be learned here, is [a] for members to take what a dealer says with regard to delivery dates with a pinch of salt and for dealers to improve communication when delays or problems arise. I am also waiting for 2 different items from parts projects initiated by forum members, but to me there is a difference between the level of service I expect when dealing with other forum members and forum dealers.

@lenix, that is a very nice looking watch! I am considering the silver dial carrera and I think your photos clinch it for me. I didn't think the silver dial would look so good with a rubber strap but it looks great on the rubber or the bracelet. Thanks for posting the pics.

We need that rep 22mm rubber strap... NEEEEED IT!!!

I don't think so - I don't think anyone actually has a working tracking number right now.

Omega SMP (Black dial) or Planet Ocean (Black dial). Both watches look good with smart or casual dress, don't look too showy but have a quiet understated elegance (and aren't Rolex - always a bonus )

I think he has the croc staps, but if they are anything like the other rep croc straps I have had supplied with reps, you are better to go with the bracelet and buy a genuine alligator or croc strap for about $90. It will look better, feel better and smell better

I think the swiss 7753 Daylight uses the separate adjuster on the left hand side of the case (use a pen to push it). Edited - I don't know my left from my right

Indeed, hats off to The Zigmeister!... The RWG 1st birthday and he is showing 150% of the spirit the board was built on

Good to hear someone has a tracking number.

I think we can feel your frustration and share in it. The best thing to do right now is sit tight for the next week or so and see what happens. Eddie has clearly had a problem that he didn't expect, he may not wish to share his problem right now due to legal or other issues (remember we suspect these forums are being monitored by some of the payment companies, etc.) A nobel prize for services to the replica industry... now there's a thought!

Don't worry too much about the wood. We can get a solid metal caseback on the rep, add a crystal protector and tell everyone it's part of the Calypso's hull

Like I said earlier, the weight is not relevant, because by the time you have it in your hands and are able to judge the weight, the other differences become obvious. Are there any photos that show the difference between the mineral and the sapphire glass? Does the sapphire have A/R coating, or are they both clear?

An update in the main forum. And it's good news...!

Thanks for the update Eddie, much appreciated

I think anyone who ordered this watch should read 999.unicorn's personal statement in his profile. It tells you everything you need to know

My thoughts exactly. All we need is a little bit of info and we can put our minds at rest. Just for the record, I have bought around 6-7 watches from Eddie over the last 3 years and always had a tracking number (although sometimes it didn't work until the day the watch was delivered!)

Hmmm, similar to me, I paid on the 20th, but have never been told it was shipped. I hope Eddie comes back with something (anything!) in the next day or so as he stopped answering my mails 3 days ago now and some communication, even to announce a further delay, would be most welcome.

Anyone got a tracking number yet?

I am in for one!
