Is concepta still sourcing IWC parts?

[dbutlerman]

I tried PMing him a couple of weeks back and never heard back. If he's not in the parts business anymore, does anybody know who is?

Thanks!

From what I've heard, he is currently on vacation.

[dbutlerman]

Thanks, I have also contacted Texski and Hugo Alves. Just waitingto hear back...

I lost contact from Hugo Alves months ago now. He was getting me a mk16 full kit but has disappeared! I assume he is having his own problems these days.

Darn! I hope I haven't missed the boat on getting some parts...

IWC parts party is largely over with. IWC finally woke up.

Darn x 2...I hope I can still source what I need I sending subliminal messages to IWC right now "You're not Rolex. You're friendly, like Omega. You want to make money in the secondary markets.

Darn! I just started in the rep game and now I read this... Gotta switch my favorite watch brand. Who am I kidding, I still love IWC.

So does that mean those rare genensteins are worth more on the rep market now?

Sort of. They are rarer but the price is capped on many of them by the fact that the second hand itself isn't that expensive.

Has anyone been able to get Texski to reply back?

I guess that replacement case Concepta promised me 1 1/2 year ago is down the drain then, but then again I already knew that when he stopped answering the emails I sent every 4-5 months or so. To be honest, I don't feel like it's a big loss for the rep community that he's out of business. I can't speak for the Texski assembled IWCs, but some Domi assembled ones were of subpar quality and Concepta's after sales communications was lacking at best...

As far as I know, next part run from all suppliers is September, so rushing won't help anyway. All our guys will need to wait till then.

Good point, if the parts are ever going to start flowing again it certainly will be September. I know AP's Le Brasus facility is closed for 3 weeks every year and I assume the other European watch companies follow suit.
