My first rep: IWC
Dear community members!
I was more than new to the topic when I bought this IWC Vintage by a newspaper ad in Nov.
Actually the story is longer: I first bought a Hublot Big Bang Black Ceramic but it being Quartz, I only later realized it would turn out ridiculous to wear it with its' ticking seconds hand.
The Hublot just looked damn good and was totally emotional purchase which I shouldn't have made following salesman's never ending mambo-jambo of terminology that, looking back, he doesn't even know himself the meaning of. So I had a chance to choose a replacement (he obviously wouldn't return me the €250,- !!!) and otherwise nice looking TAG didn't have a working chrono (one working button changed date window!), so I went for this IWC and got a Mont Blanc pen as extra.
It is hand-wound and fortunately less "screaming" for attention. I don't know the movement, "dealer" claimed it is Japanese. Keeps fine time, I really don't care any more if it is 20 or 30 seconds late or early.
It has sapphire on both sides, other than that just stainless steel etc. No indication of +/- precision of course.
I put it up here to have your feedback - what do you make of it?
Thanks everyone
