AMK000 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Check these links: On the second link , check the wrist shot. As you can see , even though this is not as a big as a PAM , it is not a small watch at all. 42 MM excl crown.

gran Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the links AMK000 Genuine: I like this watch a lot Can 400USD+ be considered a steep price for the replica? (considering the price of the plain movement used) g. About the orgins of this IWC Homage watch: Florentine Aristo Jones was employed by Howard in Roxbury. He went to Switzerland in 1868 and founded the International Watch Co. He was in difficulties with the investors from the beginning and only lasted until 1874. The first watches produced are to Jones' design and are known as Jones Caliber. The Original Jones calibre IWC is the only manufacturer in the German part of Switzerland and the founder is American..thus the name Edited April 18, 2006 by Gunnar Gran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Manny Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I just ordered one from EL. With so many sport watches I'm looking forward to a nice large dress watch. My only issue is the finish on the movement. I really wish they put more work into it. While I don't think they are going to go through all the work to make it look like the real thing and little spit shine would be nice. Kind of a waste of a presentation back. Otherwise it is beautiful. Anybody know an old retired hand engraver that works for cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Any feedback on the reliability of ETA 6498 movement ???? (asian copy I guess !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Any feedback on the reliability of ETA 6498 movement ???? (asian copy I guess !) According to EL, it's Swiss (which the price also indicates)...so no reliability issues. Edited April 18, 2006 by avitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I wonder if the rep has that big-ass regulator arm on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Wow EL, is that 7-Day Portuguese Perpetual in your album yours too? Damn, I want one of those, but at $20K, I will go with the RM 005 over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Damn, that's nice! I caught the review in the April issue of Watchtime magazine. It's nice to have a rep, even if they can't touch that movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I couldn't resist. As a Rep it is almost perfect visually although the real deal is 43mm and this is listed as 42mm. money is on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Fanstastic watch (rep and real). Of course EL has great tastes, doesn't surprise me one bit that u got one EL! What a crazy long-armed regulator on the OEM!!! I love it, but I wish that there was one made with a black dial. I am kinda predictable as I only rock the black dials I saw this IWC at the Forum's Tourneau in Las Vegas last month. What a killer watch. As far as the 42mm size, I find it to be quite nice. I have a vintage Omega that is 42mm with 22mm lugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
