Will hear the click click click sound right? When I tried to hand wind my fc clockwise, different feel when I wind my pam. However if I wind anti on my fc, got the click click sound

i rem yatto dai kor shared on his worldtimer (still on my to buy list:o) that the winding and clock adjustment is much different and smoother compared to most models.

i still like the way i wind my pam vs my sevenfri n my timex auto (8yrs old).

the feel is much much heavier n diff :o

I think the next few questions you should ask him should be:

1. Local or overseas AD?
2. When the warranty was dated?

By the way, wanna tell you first that the pilot 3777-01 or 3777-04 you were talking about has that infamous "wobee" sound which is characterised by loud rotor movements due to the design of its base movement (modified from Valjoux 7750). Make sure you consider this point before you make the purchase.


the infamous valjoux wobble - also present in other watches including Panerai

Wah, what type of entertainment do you need? :D

in Singapore you tend to run out of things to do, especially when you're single :s13:

Iwc also rumor to be using sellita
Many companies switch eta cutting supply

not sure about IWC using Sellita, not much diff to me honestly, yes ETA is still the benchmark but with Seagull's ST2130 and the likes from their chinese counterpart, it only benefit us consumers, then again it really brings down the perceived value of the watch given these movements are everywhere, born and bred inhouse movements FTW!

Just my personal thought....
Putting the both watches movement aside. I am not a pro.

I use Sinn U1 as a daily beater. Went to THG to try out T2 (with rubber strap). Some much lighter and smaller than U1. But, it cost more than than U1 for sure. I don't know it is because I am used to the weight, the simplicity / bold look of U1 that affected my judgement on T2?? I find the shape of T2 "unpolish".

given the same size the U1 will definitely still be heavier, even if you size down the U1, I really like the U1 tho having molest it myself, it weighs a ton but that's what I like about it too, not quite fair to compare weight when one is made of sub steel and the other of ti :o

Oic thx a lot. He is selling the gator strap & the steel bracelet at $6k. He told me he worn less than 3 times. It's like brand new. So advisable to take from him? Pawn shop take in IWC watches ??

Do you like the watch? Have you tried it on? Does it suit your lifestyle? Is it local or overseas set? Beside preowned shop you can check the sales corner of sgrolexclub to see what has similar set and age sold/selling for.
