Junior88 387 Posted March 16, 2018 Newest addition, IWC Top Gun Pilot's watch. Good weight to it, strap is again pretty stiff but it is brand new. Pretty sure I ordered one with a black dial, but since I already have a shitload of black dials, I think I really like the blue. I LOVE how Pilot's watch is misspelled on the caseback, the L is completely missing the apostrophe is at the bottom of the text instead of the top. Oh well. What do you expect for $70? Another DHGate pickup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Gate is SUCH a crapshoot, and so far everything I've either ordered from the Gate or gotten M2M that's come from the Gate has been pretty decent. I'm very pleased with this one, other than the blue dial and spelling mistake it exceeded my expectations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junior88 387 Posted March 19, 2018 So the Vacheron Constantin arrived today... Not bad at all for a $30 watch from DHGate. The band is stiff obviously, but working on that. I have to say, it's a very pretty watch for the money. I'm happy with this one as well, but then as you've all probably guessed I'm pretty easy to please. (No dirty comments for that, thanks.)

Glaude 1,615 Posted March 19, 2018 Just finished the photo for my review on this one, will be up in a couple of days in the gate section ! BTW the band is not leather, it's a plastic polymer and will remain quite stiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just rolling it in my fingers is doing a decent job of at least giving it some curvature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to push only on the central part of the tiny pusher around the crown. If not, you may have the movement holder misaligned with the pusher and thus not pressing on the internal pushers, easy fix (PM me if you want) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
