ALEX.CPA Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Pictures of 07 CD posted by Angus http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...&hl=2007+CD show 07 rotor with what seems like etched letters. Perhapse I am halucinating...but....could anyone confirm if 07 CD model has similar to Slevin rotor taht does not have a timebomb issue (falling off letters)? Thanx
cdzsmith Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Both look like stickers to me Stickers on mine.... and they were falling off.
ALEX.CPA Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 thanks. i guess toothpick to the resque... Stickers on mine.... and they were falling off.
coolfire Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 It really could be engraved...& a newer batch... Look at how the date font on the 2007 CD differs from the original offering, before this price cut... IMHO....
jot9011 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Definitely stickers....and they look like they are about to fall off into the movement.
ALEX.CPA Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 Stupid Question... How do i crack IWC 2007 CD case open? Just by applying the force? Do i need a special tool? Thanks
Guest TTK Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Do i need a special tool? No....the baker uses that for making holes in the do-nuts.....
Toadtorrent Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Stupid Question... ...there are no stupid question...only because I've asked them already...if you use the search for caseback tool or something like that...you should find what you need. How do i crack IWC 2007 CD case open? Just by applying the force? Do i need a special tool? The expensive route is a press-like tool that gets you a lot more torque while safely having the watch mounted in a vice-like base. The cheaper option is a Bergeon Jaxa tool...which is a three pronged tool that has adjustable prongs, and changeable ends to fit the various casebacks (not Rolex). The even cheaper option is a generic Chinese Jaxa you can find on Flea Bay for pretty cheap. The construction on the Bergeon and the Chinese one is very different...but the cheap one is usable...but it doesn't have anywhere near the same quality.
leitztozeiss Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Engraved on my aquatimer (not cd). Note the "Interwational".
Toadtorrent Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 Both look like stickers to me Angus seems to show 2 options for the rotor...with stickers: and without (seems to be the preferred): Has anybody tried ordering the option for the undecorated rotor??
ALEX.CPA Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Posted February 8, 2008 THANKS FOR REPLY. i HAVE USED A RUBBER BALL FROM MY SON'D PLAYBOX. WORKED LIKE A CHARM. ...there are no stupid question...only because I've asked them already...if you use the search for caseback tool or something like that...you should find what you need.

ALEX.CPA Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Posted February 8, 2008 i AM NOT SURE ABOUT OPTION TO HAVE ROTOR EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT STICKERS.... i BET THE CHEPEST AND EASIEST OPTION BY FAR WOULD BE JUST TO REMOVE LETTERS WITH A TOOTHPICK. I DID IN 10 MINS AND I HAVE NEVER OPENED UP A WATCH CASE BEFORE IN MY LIFE. Angus seems to show 2 options for the rotor...with stickers: and without (seems to be the preferred): Has anybody tried ordering the option for the undecorated rotor??
takashi Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 The second pictures features an ETA7750 movement. That's the standard rotor which comes with the movement (ETA7750). This is on my piece:
