IWC Schaffhausen Kal.853

New to the forum...new watch
I was just cruising the forum doing some research and decided to join...being a watch freak!I have several "higher end" watches...Rolex Explorer (white), Breitling SuperOcean, Oris World Timer...and serval mid range priced watched...Seiko, Android.I was on the forum doing some research on RENATO....yeah...the Shop NBC brand. I just purchased a Vulcan with an ETA automatic movement. I will have to say for $499 (two tone, blue face), I am very impressed. The watch is screwed together as well as my Rolex and Breitling. I know the ETA movement is a workhorse and I am assuming the watch should hold up well. The curved back and case make it very comfy to wear considering the size and weight. The only thing this watch seems to give up over premium brands is name recognition and the gold is plated...not solid.I will post some pics ASAP.

Hello, And Question.
Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. First off sorry if this is in the wrong section.Anyways i bought a nice modern looking Pulsar watch from the local jewelers and i tried it on and thought it was a good size, after wearing it for a day i wasn't sure if it WAS the right size.It doesn't turn around on my wrist but it does move about an inch up and down my wrist and i can just about fit 2 fingers under it. Is it too loose? and if so should i make it tighter. Please help, and thank you in advance.

Speedy Pro chrono function slows/stops the watch
Hi Guys,My Speedmaster Pro moon watch (saphire sandwich) kinda crapped out on me this morning. I haven't worn it for a couple of days, although I kept it wound (I was rotating it with my datejust). I put it on and started the chrono function and it got to about fifteen seconds when the whole thing ground to a halt! It's fully wound and if I start it now it'll run, but cause quite a substantial amount of time loss (approx a minute or two per hour). I can see the balance wheel slows when I start the chrono, and then speeds up when I stop it.The watch is a 2009 and hasn't been serviced yet, although I probably only wear/have the momement wound for six months out of the year.My suspicion is that the lubrication is failing causing more frictional losses in the gear train, and when the chronograph starts its too much for the main spring and it slows/halts the movement.What do you all reckon? Has anyone had experience with this kind of issue before?Cheers,Duncan.

1965 De Ville Automatic HELP!
So I have a 1965 14k Yellow Gold plated De Ville automatic that I found 15yrs ago that I thought I lost then. Just found it again. I can¡¯t find much information on these. Is it because they are less desirable or because there are not as many as the SeaMaster? Someone borrowed my cam so I don¡¯t have pics. What is the ballpark price on these? I Just ordered a band and buckle from Omega so I can start wearing this puppy. Any info would be appreciated.On Watch:Adjusted 2 positions 24 jewels 711 (Caliber)On cover :Fd 16102480microns

A couple questions for my first purchase
Hello,Long time lurker first time posting. First I¡¯ve always worn descent watches several Tags and my current watch is a Longines automatic. The Longines needs a repair (IMO the watch isn¡¯t worth putting the money into it.) I¡¯d like to upgrade and I¡¯m very close to buying my first Rolex and have a couple of questions. 1) An AD in my neighborhood will sell me a Black GMT II that he¡¯s been wearing for a month for $7200. The watch came out of their new inventory and I¡¯ll be the first owner. It¡¯s seems like a fairly good deal but was wondering if it was a great deal?2) I¡¯m a pilot so my watches get banged around coming in contact with metal surfaces and I¡¯m skeptical whether I want to spend this much money on something that will get quite a bit of wear and tear. 3) If I don¡¯t buy a Rolex to replace my current watch I¡¯m leaning towards a Breitling Super Ocean with a rubber strap for work. I know their nice watches but it¡¯s not a Rolex and wondered if the watch is really worth $3500?T
