IWC questions & reviews

Question or review:

Left it for a few months without wearing it, wound it and wore it yesterday. At first it was normal, but by the afternoon the watch suddenly stopped running, and no amount of winding helped! It's stopping intermittently again! Xiaoya, please save me!

Reply: Hello, you can try shaking the watch firmly to see if you can feel the rotor turning. If the rotor does not turn, it is possible that the rotor is loose. Alternatively, you can send it back for our watchmaker to inspect it for you. Please do not worry, we will definitely help you sort it out.

Question or review:

Can this model be fitted with a steel bracelet separately?

Reply: It can be fitted with a steel bracelet separately. Please contact online customer service to enquire about details.

Question or review:

Can you choose the movement for this one?

Reply: Yes. There are 2892 and Citizen movement options available, you can contact customer service to enquire. However, I personally recommend choosing Citizen, as it is stable and keeps accurate time.

Question or review:

Why is the logo on this crown different from that of 371417?

Reply: The model is different, and the crown logo on the new and old versions is also different. It can be assembled according to your requirements.

Question or review:

Very good. Wearing it with a suit or casually is no problem at all. Thanks to Xiao Ya for the recommendation.

Question or review:

This watch is genuinely good-looking. It is a casual sports style, and the dial is not large, making it easy to pull off.

Question or review:

This is more than twice as expensive as the previous one, please may I ask what makes it unique?

Reply: The movement and workmanship are both different now. The previous model used a domestic Sea-Gull movement, which was different from the original movement. This current one uses a Swiss movement, and the replication accuracy and craftsmanship have been greatly improved.

Question or review:

Which movement does it use?

Reply: Hello, it is a Shanghai replica ETA7750 movement.

Question or review:

The actual photos are a bit different from the title photo. The actual photos show an off-centre tourbillon, while the title photo is coaxial.

Reply: Hello, there is a note in the thumbnail section stating that these are pictures of the genuine article for reference and comparison.

Question or review:

The blue dot markers on the dial and the markers on the outer ring do not line up very neatly.

Reply: Hello, this is an issue with the camera angle, the actual item is aligned.

Question or review:

The dial is noble and luxurious, and the hands look like sharp blades carving through time and space. I do not know which year's model this is, but if the price were a bit cheaper, I would definitely buy it.

Reply: Dear, it seems you really like this one. If you want a more favourable price, just choose bank transfer payment, 90% of the original price!

Question or review:

Why does it sometimes stop running after taking it off?

Reply: Hello, this IWC IW371438 mechanical watch operates through an automatic winding mechanism where the oscillating weight rotates in any direction to wind the mainspring. As long as you wear the watch on your wrist, the oscillating weight will rotate with your arm movements to generate energy. It should be worn effectively for more than 8 hours daily to maintain sufficient mainspring energy. If the wearer's physical activity is insufficient to store enough energy in the mainspring, you can wind it manually to compensate, turning the crown about 15 turns each time.

Question or review:

Hello! Does this watch feature a power reserve?_

Reply: Hello, this Portofino IW356511 does not have a power reserve function._

Question or review:

It is truly a one-to-one piece. I had been watching the craftsmanship of the hands and numeric hour markers, and upon seeing the watch, the workmanship on both counts is good._

Question or review:

The style and movement of this watch are very good, and the timekeeping is very accurate. The shortcoming is that the leather strap is not classy enough; pairing it with crocodile leather would yield a better effect.

Reply: Hello, this model is available with an optional crocodile leather strap. Would you like to try it? It feels like it goes up a level with the crocodile leather strap.

Question or review:

Refined both inside and out, not bad at all, and the Milanese bracelet also looks very stylish,,,,,

Reply: Dear, yes indeed, the Milanese bracelet is indeed somewhat more stylish compared to a leather strap, oh.

Question or review:

Oh! Why has the price gone up!

Reply: Prices have risen, stocks have fallen, the renminbi has also depreciated, and basic costs have been adjusted upwards. We are quite helpless too.

Question or review:

How many hours does the luminescence on this watch last?

Reply: Two or three hours, I suppose.

Question or review:

Reply: You can add it. WeChat ID watchcn

Question or review:
