Everythingape Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 I've seen a few references to IWI hommage watches and such, and Chris5264's mentioned them a couple of times. Anybody actually bought watches from them? Are they just our dealers' reps with a new name slapped on the dial? They do look very good on the site, most 'Panerais' with a goodish grown and nice dials. I also like the shiny PVD look. Are their prices competitive? The names on our reps don't bother me, but I might like a no-name hommage watch as a curiosity sometime.. http://www.internationalwatchman.com/home.html
morgan Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 Been there bought the t-shirt. Long before I found this jewel of a website I searched high and low for cool watches and stumbled on this one. I bought the Marine Diver Auto w/ Swiss 2824 for over 300 including ss bracelet. This guy has them as well for $379.. http://watchrick.com/index.php?page=shop.b...op&Itemid=9 Nice looking watch, only complaint was that the CG and especially lever was very flimsy. I sold it on the bay for $190. I'm not sure about his other watches but I see no reason to buy one there when you've got so many choices here.
fredrik m Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 Any one have order straps from this dealer. The prices are low but is quality just as low?
chrono903 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 That address is literally about a mile from my clinic. Perhaps it's time for some night maneuvers.
KenMc Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 I've heard some bad comments about customer service from this guy, he apparently doesn't exactly operate the business in a normal way. The case & assembly is done in Hong Kong from what I've heard.
Everythingape Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks guys. Well, I might try him out sometime.. There's just something about having a nice 'hommage' watch.
morgan Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 It's a one man operation I think.. he travels to watch shows and sells to dealers. Straps are probably rep quality.. you won't get a BOB there.
