Do what you want, but I wouldn't do it. Ever!

As usual, no valuations done here, get it serviced.

Both are great watches. If resale is a concern Sub for sure. Other than than its personal preference.

I concur with the others. Explorer II is the way to go.

Greetings, I have no knowledge of Rolex or pocket watches, and I found out I have this one stashed at my parent's since my grandfather's death (some years ago.) Until I go get it, I have just this picture they sent me. Can you tell me anything about it? They told me it works (but I don't know if it keeps time.) Thank you!

Yep, i just think the watches are so beautiful that I don't care about the movement even though I am a WIS. There is just something about the feel of quality and clarity and purity of design that I get from holding an IWC that I have yet to find in any other brand in that part of the market.

Here is the version ghoaststar (a member of this forum) posted. I think this option belongs in such a thread: ) Official IWC Pilot pictures thread!!

So sorry to hear that. I hope it won't diminish your enjoyment of such a great looking watch after the repair. I did hear several similar incidents of Big Pilot watches, and I guess the size and shape of the big diamond crown and the thin stem makes it vulnerable to such a damage. So far I have not heard such an incident happened to the Portuguese 7 day yet.

Thanks for your reply. I agree, not too many like the rubber coating. I personally like it because it stands out, I wish it was titanium with a rubber coating. The NS GMT is a beauty. I have tried it on a zillion times, I was hoping the AD would not bar me from making trips to the store because I probably harassed for months. I wanted the watch so bad but I just could not organize the funds for it at that point. I have a fairly big wrist so the size was not an issue. Surprisingly the NS GMT sat very well on my wrist, give the 46mm size. I guess its just the way its designed. It felt study a

Hey everyone. I love my blue numeral 3714 but I don't wear it as often so I wanted to change. I do like the Portuguese look and design so I want to keep a Portuguese in my collection. What do you think of the regulateur. Found one in very good condition in steel. I wonder What kind of price difference would be fair. Thanks

I just had a stainless IWA05337 deployant clasp priced for me at $540 Canadian and a black alligator strap is $370. Including taxes, the total would come to $1028.30 Canadian for me.

My 5001 runs all the way down to zero without ever stopping. This happens all the time without any issue. IWC claims that these movements actually have a theoretical eight day power reserve, but they stop it at seven because the last portion of tension on the spring can't guarantee reliable time keeping. (http://www.thepurists.net/patrons/me...c/iwc_reve.htm) I would have thought that this measure would prevent this family of movements from having the issue that you describe. If it's a used watch with a manufacture date before 2008 or so, it's possible that it's a matter of old oils causing
