    Small 42MM PLanet Ocean?

    I just got a 42MM Planet Ocean from a trusted dealer, and the watch is noticeably smaller than my fakey 42MM PO. It looks closer to 40MM. Has anyone heard of this happening before? My Fakey was definitely a 42mm and not a 45mm, and it is noticeably larger than the new watch I just received...

    3717 with A7750 - Service?

    I have a great IWC rep from Hont that isn't able to adjust the date or day of the week anymore. I went ahead and contacted Hont to see what he could do, but I figured I would ask if anyone here knows of someone that can service an A7750 movement. Or of someone that can put in a Swiss eta movement?

    Another satisfied Hont customer

    I just received an IWC 3717 from Hont today, and the whole experience was a complete breeze. Hont quickly answered all of my questions, shipped my watch within a day or two of ordering. The watch arrived in about a week, and looks absolutely beautiful. No issues with quality at all. I will...

    Order with Hont (is this a problem?)

    I just received a beautiful IWC 3717 from Hont today, and I can say that he was extremely quick to respond to my emails, shipped almost immediately, and I received the watch in about a week in California. I would highly recommend Hont.

    Received the watch from Hont today, and am very pleased. I will post pictures later this week. But I can say that the watch is absolutely beautiful, zero problems that I can see, and Hont got the watch to me in California very quickly, about 1 week from order to delivery. I like the...

    3717 needs a leather strap - pls help

    Takashi, do you have his full ebay name, or a link to his store? I'm getting a 3717 soon, and I really like the look of that strap. (Or maybe it's just your photo skills). Thanks.

    Nice watch Meta, I'm also going to order mine from Hont, I hope with the same results. How is the AR on yours? From the picture it looks amazing.

    IWC 3717 - Roll Call

    I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a 3717, but I'm a little nervous after seeing reports of the QC being much worse on the latest version of the watch. I wanted to see if anyone on the board had purchased one of these in the last 6 months, and what your impression was of the experience...

    Who can afford a gen?

    No matter how wealthy I was, I don't think I would spend big money on Genuine watches, when you can get a piece almost as good for 5% of the cost. Just because someone is wealthy, doesn't mean they need to be reckless with their money. I can think of way more things I would rather spend my...

    Broken Watch from Puretime

    Wanted to update this thread. I received the repaired watch this week from Peter. Watch works great now, and I'm happy everything was resolved. In the future, I doubt I use Puretime again, but Peter was very responsive, and should be considered a trustworthy seller. I highly recommend...

    Broken Watch from Puretime

    Just got an email from Puretime stating that they had received my watch and will get it repaired asap. This was a huge relief, because I was scared the address I wrote wasn't going to be readable (You have to fit way too many lines in the small USPS form). I'll let you guys know when I receive...

    Broken Watch from Puretime

    I'm still very new to this hobby, and I don't have a great local watchmaker I can take it to, yet. But I did bring it to someone I found on google, and he opened the watch up, and pointed out a couple other problems with it that I didn't completely understand. Something about a spring and a...
