irolexu Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchguy7575 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share 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$$.
