Very nice indeed!  That would not be easy to mix up! 

 

I often think I'm in the market for a classic dress watch.......and then instead a few weeks later I'm sitting wearing a newly acquired Ploprof or equivalent.  It's a problem.  Turn up to dinners ready to leap off the RV Calypso at a moment's notice.

 

Yes I like the larger watches too...but nothing like Ploprof

You never got your grail?

 

[I wouldn't say I got my "grail" yet, but bought some of my favourites through the years]

 

IWC Ref 5251 Portofino Moonphase is my grail...and no I do not have it

 

 

 

 

 

 

Old old MM GT XL 168997-3001 today

 

No but I wish it happened to me too

 

Obviouslu it is English football's prototype 'super sub' Fairclough , renowned for his memorable scoring exploits after stepping off the bench. The label is one Fairclough never relished but has learned to live with as he reflects on his massive medal haul. The flame-haired Liverpool-born raider joined the club during the Bill Shankly era but exploded onto the big stage during Bob Paisley's management reign. During his debut season of 1975-76 he hit seven goals in 14 League appearances - nine of them as substitute - to help land the title.

I would not be worried to buy from the usual suspects. It is Europe. Only advice is to know the custom rules and regulations cocerning packages coming from outside Europe and if ther is VAT (or the like) on good costing more than a certain sum in cae you are asked to prove the value of whats inside the package.

Questions to the experts on Asian a07.211 clone and a07.111 clones.  These are large 36.60mm diametre movements.

 

Question 1. Who makes them ?

Question 2: and are they still in production?

Question 3. Have they been improved upon in terms of quality since their first release?

 

These are Valgranges size clones so have a larger diametre 36.60mm and thus the Valgranges fit many large size modern watches like the CHOPARD MM GT XL automatics perfectly (i.e no extra ring needed to fit like for a 7750  ETA or CH3LZF1 , 3LZF2 and 3LZF3 movements)

 

The reason I ask ist hat the were som threads on this topic  around the year 2015. But no information about who makes them and how to get them presently

 

There were som threads on this around 2015 but no information about its maker or availability

Examples:

Asian clone a07.211

 

 

 

 

Asian clone a07.111 is found for example in this watch (that I own. BTW It runs perfectly fine after all these years)

Is nobody else using a rotary washing line and a ceiling fan, or is that just me?

 

What's gen in that collection?  An IWC?

 

I need to see your contraption, Post a pic.

 

There are two watches with genuine movements,dial and hands in there but I will not tell you more...

Starting a thread so that RWG members can post a pic of what is currently on their watch winder this month

This is a great way to show not only your automatic watches but also show the variety of winders used among RWG members

 

This Gif image is just an example, there are both smaler and larger winders than this.

 

NB! Watch boxes may also be shown in this thread  too if you do not have a winder. No problem.

 

 

Ok so I am first one out. This is my winder today 02.08.2022.

 

 

It seems I can not edit the post above anymore. Is there some timelock mechanism in place?
