No dragon year on the rotor, but actually I dont care.

So does this watch come with Haomai on it, or is it a cover like on alibaba, and will say IWC on it?

Edit: Actually it looks pretty shopped. Hmm.

99% it is shopped.

I love this color setup, unfortunately it's not ZF and I couldn't get answer from Ryan which movement version he can get.

My watch smith will not work on this movement, as he can't get parts. ?
My dealer just answered my mail, and said that they put a brand new movement inside. Well, it's crap, new or old!

I'm going Gen!
NOT

Sorry to hear about your experiences. There are few Trusted watchsmith within this forum, this hybrid movement can be easily serviced from what I've been told from a reputable watchsmith. It's a straight forward service like a 28xx series with a added complication.

Ok, thanks for your feedback, and support.
My TD (Ken) has come up with a good solution. I can mayby send the watch to Domi in Germany (close to me), and then he will fix it.

I have just ordered a very nice Orluff Strap for it, so it would be great if the watch works! ;D

 

[shewie]

approx 3months wait in queue if you consider Domi.

 

[higginsd]

...but better wait 3 months than never get the watch repaired. And Domi is the Best!

 

[T222]

Mayby Ken can pull some strings, and get the watch repaired quicker.

Just wanted to clarified the hypothetical situation whether the OP is considering watch to be repaired within weeks.

 

[gbkid202]

Anyone have experience to open the caseback and take the movement out?

For some reason, I found a small piece of dust sticking on the dial, it wasn't there last week..... I just want to clean this up if possible, or else i could live with it until next upgrade or service or not..... thank you for any advise.

 

[shewie]

+ try fix the crocked 11 o clock

 

[pippo]

I disagree...leave the 11 marker as it is unless you are ready to trash the dial in the unfortunate case you make some mistake. It is hardly noticeable after all.
