IWCGuy Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I currently own a "Parnis" labeled Ebay special, which is basically a black faced IWC FA Jones with the decorated 6489 Asian movement. However, even talking to the quality control guys that do semi custom work out of Hong Kong (sterile dials, etc), I cannot find a black faced IWC FA Jones with a AR sapphire crystal, which I'd desperately like to have. It does not have to be a Fa Jones, but it must have a black face, be a decorated 6498 and have seconds at 6. Can anyone recommend someone? If someone knows of one that does sterile dials/cases, that'd be even better. Edited March 26, 2009 by IWCGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick92627 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Try this. The Portuguese 1939 with black dial. The dial may look blue, but that's the AR in Josh's not so hot pics. It's has your 6498 movement, (which is a joy to wind,) with seconds at 6. Lanikai posted some great wrist shots just today that give a better idea of this piece! I have one in the cream face and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
