dbutlerman Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfl Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 From what I've heard, he is currently on vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Darn! I hope I haven't missed the boat on getting some parts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 IWC parts party is largely over with. IWC finally woke up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 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. You're not Rolex. You're friendly, like Omega. You want to make money in the secondary markets...."

Michael_B Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 So does that mean those rare genensteins are worth more on the rep market now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDorian Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Has anyone been able to get Texski to reply back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 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...

Kutio Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
