Less than a year ago, I took my Aquatimer to a watchmaker for a full service. The watch came back perfectly adjusted, and I alternated wearing it with another watch. Recently the watch started stopping while I was wearing it. At first, I thought it was…

Hey Folks,
Just joined the IWC club, not new to Swiss watches though this is my first IWC. I was excited to get my hands on this little beauty.
One little thing bothered me today when the tang of the buckle came off. Apparently that is part of the ne…

I'm liking this one. Tough choice between this one and a Lake Tahoe:

I purchased a Mark XVIII on the secondhand market about a year ago. I love the watch, and have worn it on multiple straps since buying it. My sons also love wearing it – and now I’m thinking about a metal bracelet.
I found that IWC still will sell me the original one – but it’s more than I want to spend (around 1300 bucks!) at this time.

So a few years ago the rubber strap on my Titanium Aquatimer. I finally got a hold of IWC and they wanted $250 for a replacement rubber strap. I had heard a number of years ago to spray the band with silicone and then put it in boiling water. I tried i…

I've had my Ingenieur for about 1.5 months.
When it was new, it ran about +4 spd.
Now, it's running about -4 spd.
Should I be concerned?
On the time grapher, the watch only runs fast in the 12 Down position, all others are slow..
Resting it 1…
