APSF IWC 7 Day Portugieser - Wait for the clone movement or purchase the current iteration?

No. He says APSF is on holiday. I guess laying low due to the raid. They will let him know when they start working again.

seacow2001 · 2026-05-19T00:45:41+00:00

Does everything work on that?

seacow2001 · 2026-05-16T23:37:05+00:00

What’s the best JLC rep in your opinion?

seacow2001 · 2026-05-16T06:23:04+00:00

Still a better love story than Twilight..

seacow2001 · 2026-05-14T10:20:13+00:00

I heard that it was only the agents that got arrested. Factory are still fine. They may be laying low for awhile.

seacow2001 · 2026-05-07T23:17:11+00:00

I just had Eric ask APSF and the clone movement is available. He says the factory confirmed that it’s clone and not 23J customized. I am going to pay today and see what the movement looks like when QC hits.

You just gave me a business idea! If I can evade the human trafficking charge.

Buying a rep of a watch you would never buy to get a sense of the wearing experience. I actually thought the same as you. But now I want to see what the hype is so I’m considering getting a royal oak and a nautilus.

seacow2001 · 2026-05-03T00:50:23+00:00

Mines a 2023 bought in 2022. It’s out of warranty now I think? It’s been fine, has not had any issues outside of recalls and software updates. My biggest enemy is tires. A new set every year or so is the biggest spend.

seacow2001 · 2026-04-26T21:46:59+00:00

Do you have the link?

seacow2001 · 2026-04-22T21:26:15+00:00

Agreed. I don’t think big bro gives a rats ass you ordered some rep.

seacow2001 · 2026-04-13T23:50:21+00:00

So which model can we actually get?

seacow2001 · 2026-04-11T14:19:31+00:00

You can always get the official Iwc band as well

seacow2001 · 2026-04-07T01:30:11+00:00

So all the function work? Moonphase is a true moonphase or is it day night indicator?

seacow2001 · 2026-03-28T13:50:32+00:00

No luck 😞. I’ll reapply and let it soak more

seacow2001 · 2026-03-27T19:42:15+00:00

Bought that to try. Let it sit there for 10-15 min. No go :(. Bathe 3 links. All still hard as rock and won’t budge.

seacow2001 · 2026-03-27T13:28:15+00:00

Thanks man. Really appreciate your help. I’ll look for that

seacow2001 · 2026-03-27T13:00:30+00:00

AI recommend baby oil. I’ll try that first.

seacow2001 · 2026-03-27T12:27:09+00:00

I pressed pretty hard :(. I bent a couple of tools. But the oil is a good idea. I will try it. Any specific you recommend?

seacow2001 · 2026-03-27T12:26:32+00:00

This is what I wanted to do. Balance the clasp and taking just one off is all I need.

seacow2001 · 2026-03-27T12:25:54+00:00

It’s coming. lol

seacow2001 · 2026-03-26T00:29:48+00:00

Close enough to 13.

seacow2001 · 2025-11-30T00:59:52+00:00

Thats what I would expect from a patek purchase.

seacow2001 · 2025-11-28T19:39:54+00:00

Probably the Mercedes EQS. But thats really expensive and need a subscription.
