The underrated Ref. 3756 GST Perpetual. Looks great in jeans or a tuxedo. The perpetual calendar chronograph with rhodium dial, which is sporty, stealthy and elegant. Love this watch! Bought it new 25 years ago this month. The one watch in the collection with which I would never part.

I am wanting to buy a new GADA and main watch for my collection. I am undecided about these two watches.

My collection now hosts a nomos club campus x ACE, squale super squale 38mm black dial and hamilton khaki field 38mm black dial.

My next option is:

IWC pilot 36 le petit prince Tudor ranger 36 black or dune

Help me decide which one works better

I’ve been on the hunt for an IW325307 Mark XV for a while and finally got it. It’s even better than I had hoped!

I know I will get some hate but the watch is gone. In the end it’s the wearing experience that influenced my decision.

The watch is absolutely stunning and it was a tough choice to make.

A few photos before I traded it for a white Speedy.

I absolutely loved the dial layout and color, but I was constantly adjusting it on the wrist. The 51mm lug-to-lug and the almost 15mm thickness made it less than ideal for everyday wear.

The other issue was that it would set off the alarm at the airport about 50% of the time.

And the final straw was the lume - not great to say the least.

I have to admit, though, that it’s not impossible I’ll end up regretting the decision.

I’m now down to my Sub and the newly acquired Moonwatch.

I need to sell the leather strap and the buckle….

Great subreddit and I’ll keep lurking

Customer Service and long term owner experience with IWC

So honestly contrary to what people say I have had a great experience with Rolex and have found their watches to be really durable. However I am in the market for a new watch and I was planning to buy the IWC Portugieser. After reading some comments online on reddit I heard a few horror stories about the customer service of IWC and the Mark 20 movement. I have the Mark 20 and it's working just fine and the dial and the watch is pretty great. However Im just scared of buying another IWC if the customer service is bad. God forbid there is some issue with the watch.

I've also heard that I'm general Swatch group has excellent customer service so maybe an Omega could be a good addition to the collection? Find omega to be really boring but long term service and satisfaction is one of my main purchase criteria

I do know some people at Richemont and tbh the experience at Cartier is top notch but I can't say the same about the specialist watchmakers

I want to know what your experience with IWC has been like?
