Great watches.. I attempted to order an IWC yesterday but was warned that the movements in the reps are "unstable" what's you're experience and what dealer specializes? I'm a noob and appreciate the direction.

Read on here. Check the FAQ section and take your time. The reps are not the same quality as the gens, and you do get what you pay for. One tutorial said the rep movements will break down at some point, but if you take care of them they'll do better. I'm still new, but that logic is easy to understand. Who gave you the cautionary remark? Then it gets into the what's it worth, do you want 1 gen or 10 reps (which can be fun).

And I love the IWC on the right, it's like my Lucien Picard.

@Jclouston :
Well, unstable is not the right word : they're absolutely not reliable. :)
It seems that a good servicing and/or graphite treatment may help postponing its death, but the real solution is to transplant a gen movement in it. And that costs an arm !

The other cheap cure, is what you see on the left side : a quartz movement :)
This quartz is very good, as it uses the same case and dial design as the 7750 version. There are other reps, but they're pretty far aesthetically.

@Gran : love this tourbillon : isn't it a big oversized for a dressy watch ?

Thanks for the info Pix..

@watchdoc... I'm not expecting to get a gen quality watch by buying a rep but as Pix stated there are some reps that are known for issues and if I can avoid those I will.
