Perpetual Calendar

Nice IWC Modernahab u have.
My favorite Schaffhausen.
I like also the other variations of the perpetual calendar, for example the gold with white dial.
No problem of the absence of a second hand, as there is no small seconds hand, i am happy.

Next, i like the aquatimer with blue dial, the Jaques Cousteau version.

Hand wound by the failure of the rotor that do not wind the main spring.
I will follow if you let repair your IWC, or if u will remove the rotor. For value reasons, it is better to repair.
I do not know if you want to sell your IWC, if i buy a watch, i like a good working watch with box and papers. No scratches, pampered by the first owner.

The 12 that lay under the moon phase dial.
Not a no go for me, luv it. But there are enthusiasts who complain.
I complain about small seconds hands, strange lugs which make a strap change a horror, hidden movements.

The same happened to my Big Pilot (5002)

IWC would not say what happened but they fixed it and returned it within 10 day (pre-covid). That said, I kinda liked it in manual form...๐Ÿ˜

Yeah, but if it's going to be manual wind, you'd want to get rid of that big, fat rotor (solid gold or not). ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜ [nt]

I've actually had good service experiences with IWC as well, including being comped for out-of-warranty repairs.

No doubt ๐Ÿ˜‰ [nt]
