I've decided to do a little test.

Fully wound all these, set them all on the same time, date and let's see how they progress over the next few days :)

What a collection, sorry the DW alight all slightly towards the left. So as mine~~ in fact, got a GEN Dial incoming and hope it can solve the problem.

Actually the date wheels are great. The time is gone 10pm in the photo so they are all in the process of changing to the 9th! That's why they all look to the left [emoji6]

Mines just been delivered. Not DOA and running fine so far!!

I did find the protective covering a little amusing. It's highly likely the factory workers think these are real IWC's they're making!! Just like the employees in the fake Apple stores thought they were working for Apple!!

In fact, I have talked to one of the local watch smiths and he said since it is a combination of different movement (or indeed a new movement). He is quite reluctant to open it as he is not familiar with it.

I believe it is a similar situation in a lot of countries unless the watchsmith is someone you know very well.
Here in Sillypore, we can't even find a proper watchsmith to service a rep. :~(

Imagine a watch smith not willing to work on it just because he's not familiar with it. Is he familiar with every gen movement ever made? What if it was a rare gen! Pussy.

It's definitely not genuine croc or gator. My Vietnam has just shipped! Damn fast work as I only bought it yesterday! I'll have it as a spare as I'm waiting for Olivier Tisserand to make the nice one!

Good for you! My strap took 8 weeks for shipping!
