Pontiaddict Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Not an IWC guy, but I did order a watch from AliExpress. Once. The seller happily confirmed everything prior and took the payment, then stated it was not available from factory please choose another "dear friend", again and again... When all was done I received junk which I would not wear or sell. Lesson learned, Approved Seller list revisited. FWIW.
markiemark Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Why do people keep ordering from AE? Every time the sam story how they received junk! We have TD's for a reason...
tomhorn Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 That's a pic of a gen. The rep has different subdial spacing and sunken datewheel. The reps do have a working power reserve, BTW.
ryaku Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Oh come on guys, ordering a watch from a seller who posts pics of gen watches is a tremendous no no.
Pontiaddict Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Found this at KW:http://www.kuvarsitwatch.com/iwc/portuguese/iwc-portuguese-power-reserve-rose-gold-white/I have purchased several watches from KW, great service in point of fact they have one (PAM390) now that had an issue and they had me return it; try and get that from ali... as stated above the date wheel is sunken but very nice presentation IMO.

Sunken datewheel and subdial spacing are off. It's a beautiful watch in it's own right, just not accurate to the gen.
fexofen Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Posted August 6, 2015 Thanks for the reply guys. Just curious, why hasn't someone made the date insert wider? Seems like a simple fix doesn't it?
