Hey guys, I recently purchased a replica IWC Big Pilot model 5009-12 from ZF Factory (purchased from inTime). It's a Asian 23J movement A52010.
I've read on the forums that the movement is a decent movement that's reasonably reliable. However, the movement, as with most Chinese movements, is a bit dirty and over-oiled right out the box.
I'm thinking of sending it to a reliable watchmaker to clean and regulate the movement right off the bat. I've tried Katt from the Watchmakers and Horologists subforum, but he told me that he doesn't service this movement.
Can someone recommend a watchmaker who can service this movement in the US? Thanks in advance!
