asiparks Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) so... searching back through the posts here, i see that this watch has a fairly poor reputation for reliability and that it's been dropped from most of the dealers sites...however it is a very, very lovely looking piece and I see that Ruby has a few on her site and I am sorely tempted to try one, so I wondered if anybody has bought one of these lately or if it might be improved over the earlier version ? Or will i be the guinea pig for this one... Edited August 22, 2008 by asiparks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Most likely it's the same ticking time bomb movement used in the past. If there was a newer more reliable version, it would have been big news and advertised as such. There a lot of people that are waiting for that day, including myself.

geo1nah2a Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 What jot9011 said is correct. It still is a very nice piece, but a time bomb nevertheless. It would be very interesting to know if there are ANY IWC PC out there that have being working without problem/depending on their usage.

siesta181 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 There wasn't enough pressure on the factories to improve the watch. Better more accurate reps kept coming out and ppl just moved on. It was a very nice watch though, simply elegant dress watch. Too bad abt the movement. There are some lucky owners out there but I reckon usage was low on their part. Mine never stopped or gave me problems but usage was kept to very minimal. Pity.

FxrAndy Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have had mine for about 2 years now and wear it about once a month, still going strong. The good news is that the powdered graphite solution looks to be working well, so if it dies then it can be brought back to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
