Adeodatus Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Oh, my eyes, my eyes! I have just received this watch from a friend, who bought it a couple of years ago at the flea market in Ankara. Obviously it's a horrible rep, and the poor guy paid a ridiculously high price for it. It still works, though, and the PR is not fixed ( shows day ), which is nice. Do you, guys, think this watch can be saved, or should he just put it out of its misery? Maybe to change a dial?

krpster Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well it depends what you want to do with it. I think its life as an IWC should end however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siesta181 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well it depends what you want to do with it. I think its life as an IWC should end however. +1 here. It can be reborn as a non-branded pilot's watch with a no date function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adeodatus Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I just can't stop laughing when I see the glass case back. :clap2: :clap2: A miracle this movement still works. Never in my life have I tried so hard not to laugh. My friend is such a delicate soul, and he was so sure that this is a good watch. My initial thought was: "were is that sledgehammer when I most need it?", but simply because the movement is in such a good condition I thought maybe I can do something with it. A non-branded pilot's watch seems like a good idea, but i'm not sure the movement will survive such a journey. Does anyone recognize this movement?
