Still one of my favourite beaters despite it's low price tag

UV light???

 

[AuroraRain]

Wah how'd u get a glow like that???
Yup agree. Everytime my wife wears it her friends will compliment how nice it looks.

@slow_mo yes I shot this in a dark room under UV light

@yatto yeah, this watch looks really good on a female. My lady likes its too!

i hope the thing you're driving isn't a rep? haha

Getting in a car to post a pic doesn't mean one owns the car.
A valet boy can easily do it with nice car
Walk into a show room also can do it
Of course we have photoshop

Hi forumers,


Can anyone advice, where can i repair the below watch ? The quartz movement is jammed, though battery still has power. Cannot adjust forward, can reverse only

Warranty no more

No more warranty can still get it at ML service center
Quartz watch I will do it there, JW etc cannot get eta quartz movement easily today unless they stock up.

Hard to repair quartz, very likely it's a replacement

Was the bezel lume job done locally?

 

[patryn33]

Wah really jin pain
Would save abit more hoot iwc Porto chrono

Sorry I beg to differ
FC. Slime line moonphase is inhouse nicely decorated. A lot more time on design and Swiss craftsman to do the work.

Iwc Porto chrono is all swatch eta mod to iwc spec, iirc I saw rumors of it getting it from sellita today. Paying so much for marketing.

Where did you get the red second hand? or did you coat it yourself?
Looking for the red hand for quite a while already.
Should be ordering the lume bezel from yobokies soon

hey i think its a question of being sensitive lor. i mean folks here save up good money to buy expensive things...so it might just rile their feathers up a little you know....

this is a forum and sure you can post what you want, but maybe there are others here trying to carry on a conversation in a certain manner and don't wish to be disrupted...

would you try this in real life - where a group of strangers are discussing about watches and you pop out your fake?

for the record its not my place to judge you and what you buy, and I'm happy to let you buy what you want. (Though if its illegal I won't hesitate to point out as it is illegal to sell fakes in Singapore). I will leave that up to the HWZ moderators.

maybe try a a little consideration for how others are feeling first for a change? i usually find that folks tend to reciprocate.

if you really, really need to discuss about fake watches, you really won't get anywhere in this thread.

peace bro.

btw i'm interested in the manual car that you are testing, happy to discuss with you in the other thread.

if you want to discuss fakes, start another thread. if the mods permit, i'll join you over there.

Let me explain to you why,

On generic terms, the answer would be that people here in this forum spend thousands of dollars of hard earned money to buy an expensive time piece. A timepiece that has been worked on by watchmakers for hours. This time piece gives the buyer a sense of achievement, a sense of "pride". And there comes this rep, that looks almost identical that just cost a few hundreds. Definitely they will be pissed and irritated.

On this thread terms, put it this way, you started on the wrong note. Instead of asking us to prove it, you could have admitted it, the turnout could have been different. Secondly, you were given a second chance when yattokame wrote a post for you, welcoming you back to this thread. But you totally ignored it. And that pissed many further.

If you cant afford it, then dont get it. no point going through all this just to show people that you have a 'IWC'. You can post fashion watches here like kenenth coles or timex or whatever and people will still like it and lust over it.

adding a little bit of my 0.002 cents.

Its not about how many thousands of dollars or millions of dollars the people here in this thread spend on watches... No, its not that.

It doesn't matter whether today you're spending $50 on a Seiko 5 or $189 on an Orient Bambino or $8000 on Rolex Sub or $200,000 on a Richard Mille.

The only thing important is that... its all about supporting ORIGINALITY, supporting CREATIVITY and supporting INNOVATION.

Spending $150 on a Seiko Diver and then spending additional hundreds to change it to something unique is alright, because many people do the same thing to their cars and bikes and bags and shoes.

But the way you go about to make a fake IWC watch to look like a real IWC. that crosses all lines dude... And that is the reason why so many people here, including me is so defensive against beepok.

You are no different from people who installs pirated Windows OS and try to get official patches from Microsoft website. You're also no different from people who wears fake LV, fake Chanel, fake Prada, fake Hermes, fake Christian Dior and try to tell people its real.

So.... in all honesty, if you wanna be low... do it elsewhere...

Oh... one more thing. GET A LIFE!

The iwc ar very blueish hor

 

[rachdanon]

Dont so agrresive. Its still just my personal watch after all. I post it cause of the same reason as you guys post yours lol, we're proud of and enjoy our watches

Hardwarezone really so no standard meh, until got no mods to enforce against reps (assuming it's a rep, cos I was just causally following the earlier saga)

i bought the whole thing off someone from a modder on watchuseek who called this the ultimate FFF mod paid a premium but i didn't want to go through the hassle of pulling everything together. the dial features raised hour markers, will take a better pic later.

Hokays deleted everything since they are such an eye sore to everyone

 

[rachdanon]

Hey guys the reason reps shouldn't be posted is plain and simple. Would you post stolen property online?

A rep is stealing the look, design and brand of another, to me it's same as DVD piracy.
