Looks like the factory has updated the engraving / hallmarks. My gold ones don't have the "IWC Au750" in the opposite side.

Interesting.

I don't have those either.

I don't have those either.

Fatal flaw. Sell them to me cheap and order a good one.

On another note, I haven't ordered a Vietnam strap yet to have to compare to say Orloff, but I have one of his money clip wallets, here it is with my RG Ardoise

ahhhh! So frustrating. Just received my oem blue strap it's beautiful. Thing is i think its to small! Cant know for sure untill i receive watch bec i dont know exact dimensions of clasp (i hope it extends enough to make it fit)

[fishysquishy]

My wrist is 6.5 this is iwc xs strap i think the dimensions are. 125-45. If anyone would happen to know if this will fit after clasp is in i would greatly appreciate it it!

 

[aligborat69]

Well by comparison, I have a 7.5 inch wrist and I've been ordering 140/60mm and fit perfectly.

My wrist is 7 and with a 130/55 strap there is 15mm out of the fixed keeper so with your 6.5 you might be ok. I personally don't like long strap ends wrapping round the wrist.

Thank you for your response! Im glad to hear. i hope it will fit perfectly as the proportions are very similar only off by 5 mm

... well, I guess this movement is not that good after all!
My 2 week old IWC just died! Chinese shit ...

 

[thermalboyz]

@T222 pls elaborate more details. sorry to hear this happened to you.

 

[T222]

The movement just stopped working. I can wind the movement, change the date, and set the time, but the movement does not start up when I push the crown in.

 

[thermalboyz]

Try shaking it, if not working then prefer contact TD or find a watchsmith. Others have this similar issue of dead occur. So far I remember there was one more member.

I am curious to know if one can source movement parts from TD in case the movement craps out. What if an internal wheel is broken or something, does that mean we are SOL at that point? Servicing wont do any good.

 

[T222]

Trust me, I have tryed just about everything.
I have contacted my TD, and hope to hear from him soon.
I also have a watchsmith as backup, - but no matter what solution I choose, I will have to drop some money. To bad!

 

[londonboy75]

Some TD (Ryan) offers 1 year movement warranty.

 

[peterpl]

My IWC is already back with Ryan to get a new movement and crystal. I wonder how many movements are dead now? The only thing stopping me buying more variations of this watch. I have 2 now. 1 dead 1 alive

I don't think so but PT or Ryan may worth asking. Recently not seen parts can be purchased. Someone in China had their balance wheel broken but no chance of replacing it.
