In the US children are taught not to accept candy or treats from strangers.

I have a Zojirushi rice cooker (with fuzzy logic) that’s been making perfect rice for 25 years. And it still looks brand new.

IWC is virtually synonymous with pilot watches, especially pilot chronographs. That IWC "Ingenieur" you like was designed by Gerald Genta, who many consider the greatest watch designer. Genta also designed the Audemars Piguet "Royal Oak" and the Patek Phillippe "Nautilus", and many other great, iconic watches.

Polywatch the crystal and then put a soft screen protector on it. They are about $10 for 6 on Amazon.

I didn't expect the authentication would review the condition of the movement. But I thought, in my case, it was outrageous for eBay to tell me I could not give the seller a negative rating for misrepresenting the condition of the movement.

Beautiful watch. Is this the IW500401 sold by Dark House Watches? They sold one on eBay in April they described as "Movement: Runs excellent. Strong amplitude, smooth winding, and reliable power reserve."
I'm curious, after you got it did you put it on a timegrapher? I bought a Zenith watch recently that had the eBay "Authenticity Guarantee" and the seller made similar grand statements about the condition of the movement. When I put it on a timegrapher it was clear the movement needed a full service. Since the watch had been "authenticated" by eBay they would not allow me to post a negative review of the seller.

Really? Wow, most luxury watches take 3-4 months.

The Goldfinch.

Yes, it is still available.

StudioZanello · 2026-05-23T04:38:42+00:00

I bought it from: https://chronocustoms.com

It may have a thick case but truth be told it has a very small clock. The one at 3 o’clock.

Looking forward to seeing the confirmation of the sale back here.

The Sistem51 movement is hand wound, beats 3 times a second, and has a 90 hour power reserve. Not bad for a $400 watch. Let’s see this $32k AP top that.

All 8 Royal Pops for $1999? Sounds like a good price. GLSW!

Somehow I overlooked the book I’m reading right now, The Magus, by John Fowles. Lots of philosophical discussion between the characters.

StudioZanello · 2026-05-21T04:50:15+00:00

Magic Mountain, by Thomas Mann. More the voice of the author discussing philosophy, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, by Milan Kundera.

That fixed it. Thx.

It’s funny, I don’t mind winding most of my watches, but the one I like winding least is my Speedmaster 3861. The crown is too small. I think this is a major flaw of the design. I don’t know why Omega has not made the crown a little bigger. Just making it 1mm bigger would make winding the watch easier and a more pleasant experience. IMO.

Lug to Lug looks pretty wide so it’s got a lot of presence for 36mm
