As we all know this piece got sold out within EA did not get the chance to even place an order..

Do we think this is truly sold out and will never get restocked? I’ve signed up for notifications but unsure if there’s a plan to ever restock this item

Thanks

I got into watch collecting a few months ago and overall even though I’ve been obsessed with learning about every brand and model I’ve tried to curate my collection to ensure it makes sense both functionally and aesthetically

I’ve opened to the idea of a first Rolex like a mint green DJ41 but still thinking about it. Which do you think would be my perfect 6th watch? Open to any brands just not AP, Patek or unbelievable to cop watches like a Rainbow Daytona.

If you were me, what would be the 6th watch you cop to round up this collection?

Current rotation:

1. Omega Aqua Terra 150 41mm in black lacquer
2. IWC Ingenieur 40, white dial
3. Panerai PAM 1033, with blue alligator leather strap
4. Cartier Santos Large in two tone
5. Tissot Seastar Powermatic 80 with gray dial
6. ???????????

Thanks in advance I appreciate all the options and suggestions and will try to read and respond to all of these 🙏🏽

Hi All

With the news of V7F coming back I thought I’d take a shot at ordering a white dial Ingenieur from Hont who seems to have them, however I’m concerned there’s no V7 sticker at the case back as most of these have had recently, so I would like a second set of eyes on this white dial Ingenieur to ensure this is really from VF7 and a GL, thanks!

1. Dealer name: Hont
2. Factory name:

V7F
3. ⁠⁠Model name (& version number): IWC Ingenieur 40 White Dial
4. ⁠⁠Price Paid: 398 shipping included
5. ⁠⁠Album Links:

6. ⁠Index alignment: Good overall, but I’m not so sure about 9? Thoughts? 3 index which is normally an issue looks good to me. I ran the QC tool but concerned on how it looks? It did not look this off on other watches so wondering if I did something wrong?
7. ⁠Dial Printing: Good and sharp printing, no 2 dots issue like other factories, IWC logo sitting on the line, clean to me. However the “S” in “SWISS MADE” looks off and separated? Please help me confirm?
8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: Printing of font looks good and date wheel numbers centered.
9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Looks aligned to me.
10. ⁠Bezel: One of the strongest points? Brushing looks nice.
11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/d; 309; 0.2 ms

13. ⁠Anything else you notice: There is no V7 sticker in the case back, I’ve marked it in the QC pics, this was usually the case for all previous and newer batch V7F models, I’m concerned this may be from another factory therefore minimizing quality or being deceived? Appreciate your insights here.

This is my first IWC QC ever and with the no sticker from V7 thing I may need further expert eyes on this so once again thank you for the help and extra set of eyes reviewing this Ingenieur.

Thank you all.

With ASPF being raided and them being the main IWC replica factory, do you think we will ever get a rep for the new ceramic Ingenieur that came out on W&W 2026?

Gorgeous piece! I believe only ZF does some sort of IWC reps now.

Hello! This is my first QC for a Cartier watch, I’d appreciate any feedback, I did my best with wording on the review below!

1. ⁠Dealer name: Steve @ The One Watches
2. ⁠Factory name: BVF
3. ⁠Model name (& version number): Santos de Cartier Large version - 40mm SS/YG
4. ⁠Price Paid: $488 + shipping
5. ⁠Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/vdJBySDS#lBNxj2tx00K48GOSmkJcRQ/folder/iUgxVBoQ
6. ⁠Index alignment: Good, attached WatchQC pic
7. ⁠Dial Printing: There seems to be a bit of ink bleeding around hour 7 where Cartier is, thoughts?
8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: Good for me, centered
9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Looks good to me.
10. ⁠Bezel: Very clean, I see no scratches on gold surface.
11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): looks okay, on some pics I see a slight gap near the lugs (right one) although don’t think this is an issue or may be a picture, feel free to tell me if I’m wrong
12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: 4 319 0.2 28800
13. ⁠Anything else you notice:
    The screws on the gold bezel also seem a bit misaligned? I was trying to compare to gen or other BVF models to see if this is how it should be but unsure, maybe it’s my untrained eye, mostly want to know if the ink bleeding on 7 is worth a RL

Once again thank you all for the guidance and feedback

This is my first time QCing BVF or Cartier, so I would definitely appreciate insights comments and feedback, looks like a GL to me?

Thank you all in advance!!!
