Adeodatus Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 You'll need to be more specific on the model and even year, but in any case I believe there are no correct reps for vintage timepieces. The factories are focused on more current high-end models, due to request and gen watches/parts availability. Vintage watches are sold for low(er) prices and I believe you'll be able to buy a very nice gen from a dealer even on ebay for a very reasonable price.
japanic Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 He may be referring the the vintage line that IWC currently has in production for the ingy, portofino and portuguese.
Adeodatus Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 hmm... maybe. I actually haven't thought of that. If his after the vintage collection, I don't think there are any good reps. Trusty has some on his site and even some other dealers, but they are not accurate. Am I wrong, japanic?
japanic Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 There are reps of the new portofino, which are a good first attempt; the chrono version is A21 jewel driven, so that is a dealbreaker for me. The portofino non-chrono from Josh in rose gold is actually decent and has an ETA 2824, but a stainless steel caseback without the proper ingraving... No reps of the vintage ingy or portuguese as far as I know. A shame I absolutely love that vintage ingy.
Bryce86 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Posted December 27, 2011 Yep, Japanic is right - Im referring to the 2008onwards Vintage that they have produced to celebrate so many years of IWC. Particularly looking for the Aquatimer.
