theflyingdutchman Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi, so before Mike00 writes it; YES, I played with the buttons! I visited the local IWC dealer who showed be some models (see below)! I tried them on and on the chronograph one I started and stopped the chrono several times. And what happend... I pressed the start/stop button @2... no reaction, I pressed harder and then I heard a very slight "ping" noise?! After that it then only reset at 1 min before 12... and did not run anymore. And the dealer said... "hmmm, guess I have to send it back"! Lucky me, it was a cheap one anyay; only 21.000 Euros! Suddenly I had the urge to say, happens with reps as well, but then thought, better not say that! Dutchy P.S. Pics before I broke it! Maybe it broke as the date was changing!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3nj4min3 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Oh my, my first reaction would have been to shrink and slowly backtrack out of there. At least you got some pictures for us all to ogle at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt.watch.obsessive Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Glad they didn't give you any grief about it. What amazes me is how some of the salespeople handle the watches when showing them. I've had more than one guy spin the hands forward a few hours and backwards a few hours and then flip the date around paying no attention to the time on the watch. If he does that for every customer, that's a movement I don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
