Guest asim Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 ohhh you can't do that!!!!!!! MODS get him.. more more more !!! :P
lanikai Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 looks like a winner Chad.. Live Strong and Wear it Well !!
Guest asim Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 a source tells me that they are being discontinued bt IWC (single chrono), which means much less will be out there and more for us to mod and "perfect"
Toadtorrent Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 That looks great!! How's the strap??
chad Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 The watch itself is fantastic. Super rep material. Excellent date wheel, gen like finish and nice dial. The strap is a turd covered in plastic and the movement in mine has issues right now but they might be clearing up. I will give it a few days before returning it.
Guest asim Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 ah the movement! same old issues with that then i guess. but hey what a stunner. is it indeed 44m??
laffy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Mine is on the way... Josh was really convincing about the quality of this one. The price is a bit on the high side but for ceramic, correct DW, double ar and all, its not that bad (!) considering ceramic HBB price for example. From your pic, it looks really good...cant wait to receive it...
TK471 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 It's not a bad price if the watch works. Chad mentioned his has problems. $500 for a watch that needs a service out of the box is criminal.
Bizzon Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Awesome watch, add another to my "must have" list.
ThinkBachs Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 That band looks a little tight to me...
chad Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 Unfortunately it is not... The band is not very flexible. It is stuck in a strange position from shipping and is not curving to my wrist very well. So it's sticking straight up and down on the wrist like that. It's looks ok but it is junk. The movement has settled down a little and is doing well for now. My last two watches have been a PAM 233 gen and then traded for a IWC Big Pilot. I am used to seeing those watches on my wrist. This one holds up to those easily in finish. and yea I am back to my 176g and reps for a while That band looks a little tight to me...
Shundi Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Nice...is it a kevlar-esq strap or leather?
elisiX Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Looks fantastic. I am definitely picking this one up!
MADRED7 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Mmmmhhh, I do like it. And as if I did smell that shitty-strap, I ordered a new ZULU strap with PVD rings...that strap will do the trick. Anyway, looking forward to your pic
Guest nikos1978 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 what size of strap i must put in top gun watch/ 22/22mm?
MADRED7 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I was told 21mm...so I ordered a 22mm Theo
Guest nikos1978 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 and buckle size is 22? or smaller?
Mickey Padge Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks for the picture Chad, any chance of a "front on" shot of the dial please? I am sure there are a few peeps who want to check out the hour markers I hope the movement issues totally disappear for you, nothing worse than having to ship back a duff watch. Still for the price the watch would have to be ticking like a champ from the get go for me...... Cheers!
chad Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 I'll try to take some this afternoon. Watch is over 10 mins slow this morning....... Thanks for the picture Chad, any chance of a "front on" shot of the dial please?

TK471 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I'm sorry that it isn't working. Like I said, unacceptable for a $500 watch. That's like, three Seiko monsters or something. It is an amazing looking thing, though.
Chrissej Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Love the looks of this watch, would realy like to have one in my collection
