simstre Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 umm....I actually posted to general discussion board first...now I don't know how to move/delete the post......help? it only took 5 days from China to Canada! The insert is actually a bit dull, not pitch black. But overall, loving it, too bad I can't wear it right away as the band needs to be adjusted. Anyone in Vancouver, BC knows a good place to go for this? or do I just go to a watch shop at a mall? Here it is
juicemouse Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Nice watch. The date wheel looks excellent. Where did you pick this piece up? I believe you can easily remove the links yourself if you have a 1.60mm screwdriver. You don't hammer out the pins (just learned this, this week myself). Search on ebay for 'watch screwdriver' and you can get a whole set for under 10.00. I ordered a set of burgeons myself but I like having nice tools. Edited January 31, 2014 by juicemouse
simstre Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Posted January 31, 2014 I got it from Andrew. I do have 1.4mm screwdriver, gonna try it now. Thanks!
simstre Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Posted January 31, 2014 yay it worked! Now I can wear it to work tomorrow
Nightwatch Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Hi and welcome. I like it:) Glad You had the screwdriver. Next pickup could be a handy watch repair kit (cheap on Amazon) with some screwdrivers, a lupe, and specially the pin removal tool and lug removal tool (it´s got another name but comes with the kit). A NATO strap and maybe a 20mm (cheap) n.d. divers rubber band and You´re set to go. One of the most unnerving things is to get a new watch and You can´t wear it, with the above You´re always set to go:)
Nightwatch Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Simstre, You were also looking for the IWC-P, posted some more info on it here: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/166994-iwc-portuguese-or-portofino-chronos/#entry1307703
freddy333 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Looking good & a nice choice for a 1st rep.
simstre Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Posted January 31, 2014 @Nightwatch thanks for the link! @freddy333 thanks
watchwatch Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Which movement did you opt for? I just purchased one with an asian ETA-2836-2 from Andrew. I can't wait to get it.
