IWC Top Gun Crashed

[fdbandit]

Hi all.

I have the V1 version and it stopped the other day.

Soooooooo........

Brilliant me decided to open it up and see if I could fix it.

Needless to say the outcome was anything but positive.

I now have a ceramic paperweight.

I need to get the thing fixed and while its open get a better AR coating.

Can someone let me know who in this forum could help?

Thanks,

Chic

Look up The Zigmeister and vaccum are the best around concerning servicing a watch. Catch Chieftang during one of his AR runs. He just accepts the crystal so you will need to have that removed first. I find repgeek.com and rwi.com have sub-fora for a couple members who service and work on watches. I'd check there.

so what did you do to the watch when you opened it up??????

[Mickey Padge]

Zigmeister won't touch a watch that has been opened up and messed with by anyone else

I sent him a faulty titanium Seawolf rep a while back and he wouldn't repair it because it had floss under the bezel, I fortunately found the most excellent Domi in Germany who fixed it perfectly

Actually, I would likea new movement.

The old one is shot. A 7750

The usual problem with this is that the hairspring is tangled.

Any competent watchsmith should be able to deal with that.

Try that approach first.
