Time to rep the power reserve mvt.!

[shultz]

Hi,

I am just back from my AD's store and took a look to the current catalogue: Besides the Big Pilot with automtaic pr mvt. I've seen that a BIG Ingy (45,5mm!) is out! It seems to be engined by the same mvt. as the BP.

There is a lot of rumours but does anyboy aboard know if and when the BP/ pr mvt. will be repped by our asian friends?

The gen BP:

And the huge Ingy

[ravishingrick]

What movement is used in the BP and Ingy PR. Is it an inhouse IWC movement or a generic movement with a power reserve module?

If they make a accurate BP with correct date and PR indicator spacing they have a serious cash register buster....

It is an in house movement, Cal 5011, watch is 46.5mm by 15.4mm

I love that Ingy!

That's correct

I really don't know if that mvt. will be repped at any time. I am afraid it is a bit complicated. Even on gen watch fora I read about several problems with the gen mvt. But nevertheless I am crossing my fingers that we will see a beautyful 5011 watch at some day.

I am hoping that the rep valagrange movment might be able to be used to at least get the date far enough out.

I hope to see a rep of the BP before X-mas Man... a BP would be soooo great! I guess i like the new model more than the older model, but any of them would do

I prefer the latest BP as well. I was in an AD while on vacation recently and I came close to pulling the trigger. Heck, my wife was urging me to buy it. What a great wife.

What a great wife.

that is incredible... my GF gives me that look... "another package for you?"and i say as a reflex "oh... just a trade darling"

[Watchmeister]

But when the wife says buy it she knows she will make it back in spades. GF's have a little different perspective.

Guess you're right

F-

Then again, you may be smarter than me. It is my third (and final) wife. By the way what happened to the longer post? Just kidding.

The other thing I forgot to add is that the upside of my wife being so enthusiastic is that the sales woman when she found out I would be back in several months made it a point to give me that fabulous 400 page history book IWC did for 2006. I am now truly an expert on IWC.

Now here is a little tidbit on that movement. The movement actually has 8 days of reserve but they show only seven (I haven't figured out whether the movement actually stops on the 7th day) as god forbid you lose a millisecond of time on the eighth day as that lightened mainspring begins to lose power.

Be honest... was she looking over your shoulder when you typed this?

That's good news! Nice reading material for a rainy sunday afternoon

The Big Pilot (and others with that cal) do stop at the end of day 7.

Too cool.
