Surprising!

I've owned many IWCs, though none of them with the 'in-house' movements, and they've all kept fine time.

IWC dilemma solved
By: ripper444 : August 8th, 2019-08:19
So I am going to stick with my personal experiences and they are that IWC in house movements are just not accurate. I have owned in some form or another a watch from almost all their lines and the only reliable/accurate ones are the modified ETA versions....
Love those pics. Great watches

I have had a few big pilots including the new ones. A few yacht clubs. Both new spitfires. I think Richmond group ruined their brands by making them share generic “in house” Calibers. I’m happy with Valjoux 7750 in this one!
Thanks ripper

Yep, I think IWC is really good at using the Valjoux 7750 and ETA movements since their what I call "technical era" (1980s to early 2000s). That's when they came out with the great watches from their Porsche Design collaboration, classic Mark-series of pi...
That's too bad, but IWC's 7750-based pilot watches are terrific.

I have two IWCs with in-house movements, 8-day manual wind and chronograph classic, both Portuguisers. Not sure how relevant these are to your experience, but both keep good time although they’re both tuned to run fast, ~+5 seconds per day. The chronograp...

D0 you really mean that?

" Now that it’s a few years old, friction has done its job" - so your interpretation is that friction shaves off metal and creates more room for the teeth to "play"? If that is the case, can you pleaser explain to me where the metal shavings go - I have n...
Interesting theory
By: xyz123abc : December 30th, 2019-09:53
I have discussed it with a few watchmaker colleagues - out of respect I will not quote they reactions.
No experience with the latest "in-house" movements but...

I have had many 7750 based chronos from IWC and none of them kept accurate time. The best would be + 10 seconds per day while most of them have been double that. And what's worse they don't get any better after a service by IWC. Having said that, just rec...
Strange

IWC makes no sense to me! My omegas and Rolex watched and even JLC has never given me issues.

Le Petit Prince
By: Jurry : August 15th, 2019-12:25
I can’t comment on the difference in movements because I only have one IWC, the petit prince It runs perfect, time deviations are well within acceptable l8mits But if I compare the two dials on your pictures the blue one sticks out as my favorite ...
