Porsche established a prestigious brand image with the help of that of IWC's
And during the 20 years of later cooperation, Porsche established a prestigious brand image with the help of that of IWC's, while IWC exploited its sportswatch market, through which they both set solid foundation for their glorious accomplishment.

Doesn't today's date really mean something special?....

Just got a couple crotons. I love these two watches.
Well after my horrible experience with WOW and a broken swiss legend I still wanted a tungsten auto. A great guy on another forum helped me out and offered up for sale to me his croton tungsten auto with the SW200. Got it the other day and love it. No, its no rolex or hublot but I still love this thing and know its gonna get alot of wrist time. And then about a month ago I bought a Croton vortex from my local Sams Club and returned it after finding that Croton wasn't the elite brand the store claimed it to be. The one I had also had a few issues like a crooked bezel and scratches from it being handled so much. I was stupid and didn't want it anymore in fear I would be laughed at on this or another forum. Well I really really still liked the watch and missed it. I know its not a high end watch but I still really wanted it and regretted returning the one I had. So I ordered another from Sams and it arrived about an hour after the tungsten. It really is a nice watch and IMHO a million

Service Question - has anybody ever heard of this?!?!
Was wondering if I could get some input from the members. Last week I dropped my RO15300 off at the AD for a service. It's been about 7 years since the watch was last seen by AP. The watch was keeping good time but the power reserve was down to 6-10 hours, hence the service. Once I noticed the power reserve issue, the watch went straight into the safe and didn't see a wrist again. Watch has never seen water or been dropped. Was worn in rotation pretty evenly with 5 other watches. When I dropped the watch off at the AD they said that the service would run approximately $1300 CAD ($1000 USD). Sounded about right to me. Yesterday, the AD called me back and said that they had received an estimate from the APSC in Canada at $4000 CAD ($3100 USD)!!! I was told that the watch required a CTR - Complete Technical Revision. I had never heard the term before and can't even find too much about it online. I have submitted a contact request on the AP website but while I wait for a response, I though

My First Patek (5712)
I picked up my highly anticipated 5712 this week and what an experience. I couldn't be more thrilled with the look and feel of it. It took a year and a half for the call, but it was worth it. The sales experience at the Patek salon was beyond perfect, and I was treated to champagne and an overall purchase encounter befitting of the brand. I was also gifted a patek tie, a travel case, a free service, and a pair of patek gloves. Now back to the watch. It's definitely much lighter and more fragile feeling than I'm accustomed to wearing. But then again I've had one model of Rolex or another on my wrist 99% of the time. It goes without saying that the watch is stunning. The bracelet is among the most comfortable I've ever worn, and the dial changes color depending on the lighting, which is sublime. I'll have more to say after I've had a few weeks worth of wear. But for now I will sit back and continue to stare at the dial. What a beauty. Sent from my SM-N920W8 using Tapatalk
