irolexu Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 anyone know of a good source to repair an IWC? I have a crown that no longer screws down and need to send it off for repairs! Please PM me with some info! CONUS PREFERRED I have a big pilot with a very big crown and I'm sure the case tube is stuck inside the crown
watchguy7575 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 If its the 5002 rep, just take the caseback off (pliers in the holes or the duct tape method) will work, pull out the crown, and squeeze the tube with a set of pliers. Not too much, though, then you might break it. I just did this the other day. Looks perfect and runs like a champ. These V1's are great. If it is authentic, send it to IWC in Texas. You can go through any IWC retailer. IWC is funny about releasing parts to anyone who is outside of their own buildings and they wont stand behind anybody elses work. They are a real pain in the a$$.
irolexu Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Posted May 14, 2013 It's a rep 5004 IWC. Any chance you can snap a few pics of the process?
irolexu Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Posted May 15, 2013 FIXED! it was very easy I just went around the case tube a few times with a set of pliers putting slight pressure and walla it worked! thanks guys. took me 3 minutes
