My new IWC Pilot Exupery Gold... etc

[jonboy]

This one landed a couple of days ago from a member here on RWI and I am very pleased with it. It feels a quality product and it looks excellent on - photos dont do it justice and my arm looks very feminine and podgy

It was gaining a huge amount of time but I let it settle and adjusted it a little and its almost spot on.

Does anyone have any opinions on the standard of the rep?

now your watch needs AR, just take a look here
it is indeed a nice watch, my is modded with Eta 7750, gen day/ date and Jakubs best AR

That rep looks very nice, and the only thing it would need indeed would be an AR coating to make the dial pop up.
Brown + gold is a beautiful combination

Ive searched and searched but I cant find out what an AR coating is? Maybe I am being silly?

That's an anti-reflection coating on the crystal, that will avoid bad reflections
And usually it makes your dial alive, as the crystal practically disappears

looks good

Nice. replace the strap and you have yourself a winner!

Yes indeed. I agree completely.


Enjoy your new IWC.

just take a look to my pics, no reflection in the crystal, looks like no crystal on the watch. compare them with your pictures

Jakub disappeared with a lot of members' crystals and watches, so there is no way to recommend him any more, he turned scammer, for a reason we still can't explain.
Today the only way to have a high quality AR coating is to go through Chieftang (RWG), but prepare for a long wait...
There might be alternative ways, but we are then talking of AR coating of different aspect and quality (AR coating meant for viewing glasses).
