I ordered an IWC Top Gun Big Pilot. The watch arrived quickly but wasn’t working when it arrived I sent it back via EMS for repair at no small expense. Once fixed, it took about 3 weeks return to me via Hong Kong airmail. I’ve had it about a week and it’s dead again. I realize these are reps but seriously, a cheap Mickey Mouse watch lasts longer. Not happy, not endorsing. Look for your reps elsewhere.

Fair enough. Sometimes, you get a dead watch. I am sorry. Getting a broken watch is part of the replica game; like a roulette game.

BTW, a Mickey Mouse watch is quartz. It’s a battery powered watch. It should last very long. Did you get the Mickey Mouse watch from Sears or Walmart?

This sucks. I’ve been there before. You can try a local watchsmith to fix it or cut you losses by selling it on M2M as non-operating. I know it’s irritating but it can be hit or miss with these reps and their Asian movements. Good luck.
