Looks great! Can't wait to see it with the proper steel hands.

Got them today

Will swap as soon as i have a minute (read 2 hours) over ;-)

gorgeous...i really like the dial...

have you considered putting it in a v2 case?...the gen pro 2 bracelet seems to be slightly narrower than the lugs - or is that just the pix?...

thanks for sharing and wear it well...

Rob

Hi R!

It´s actually a rep Pro2 on the pic.

Now it´s on a gen Pro2 and it fits perfectly.

This is the "new" version of the V3..no expert..but it should be better then the old V3!?

Managed to find a rare white/creamy gen dial for my Skyland.

Put it on a gen B13 and finished off with a gen Pro2

Gen correct hands are incoming

Will be my daily beater!

Finishing a gen blue dialed one soon!

Wow..not been here for a while...and found this thread with over 63 replies

Here is my side of the story

Yes..the OP waited a long time..and yes..communication was poor (acknowledgment)

When i pulled the work from Domenico (due to extremely poor work in the end) i stood with a couple of projects in the loop..which was a problem to be solved.

OPs was one of the early projects and i decieded to start working with Tex and the new cases. The main issue is that parts are getting harder and harder to obtain..which leads to even longer waiting times. Around christmas (21th of Dec if i remember correctly) it was ready..and rushing to a long vacation in Thailand i managed to ship to wrong (old address). The address was taken from the PayPal info and i decieded to use a swift carrier with registered shipping. Somehow someone at the address managed to sign for the parcel..and since then the extremely pricey piece is missing.

Yes a Police report should be filed by the OP and somehow should the carrier (fedex) be held responsible..but we have tried everything..but without any success. When the OP contacted me about the problem there was no hesitation in refunding the total amount! I have never and will never turn down a request for a refund! Now i am out of the cash and a pricey piece is sitting on a fat bastards wrist (probably the landlord on the compound)

I always strive to make perfect deals..which i probably succeed at 98% of the cases..sometimes it goes wrong and i am only human (even if i am deadly handsome and supersmart) ;-)

End of the story! OP is refunded and some what happy..i continue to try getting the rest of the remaining projects ready as well..but it takes time...a hell of time..since the parts is being controlled like the gold in the national reserve!

As of now..i don´t deal with these projects no more..unless it´s a genenstein (oooh..did i hear a Portu genenstein) ;-)

Over and out!

Thanks for listening..and haters..

Looks amazing!

Yes..Tex is the new super modder! (with some assist from the older super modder) ;-)

Damned ugly watch! Send it to me for disposal ;-)

You know, I'm actually wondering if this rep is good enough to pass with the general public (in other words, people not on this forum or people who nitpick every detail on the watch! :-D)

Definitely!

This is one of the best reps out of the box!

Is just us guys that are being anal about details ;-)

I think the gen cyclops does have AR. But the gen cyclops is (probably) sapphire, whereas the rep is plastic. So even AR on the plastic isn't the same as gen. But better than nothing.

Definitely no AR on the gen crystal. However I'm very tempted to do single AR anyhow on the crystal, which is hardly noticeable but does make a bit of a difference.

Yeah! If you do please shoot some pics for reference!

LOL, I like this watch a lot! Design is stunning with the spitfire dial wich is an amazing piece of art in the genuine version.

I tried this on in the IWC boutique in Dubai last year and the only concern for me was that is was to thick for my personal taste, I tend to disslike the wearing comfort of towering watches.

This rep looks pretty good and accurate!

Regarding that this watch would look like a toy etc I dont agree. But can agree that the special edition for the german footbal team or what is was looks a little toyish with the extra colours etc.

Mike

Mike..i did not know that you played in the "sissy" league

Nik-

You don't need AR. The gen doesn't have AR. Only the diver does.

Not even the cyclops?

Just picked one up after seeing your review U!

It´s my second AP (after buying Sanders super rep of the Barrichello)

Has anyone done double AR and/or cyclops AR?

Don´t like it!

Even the gen looks like a cheap fantasy rep

I was reading the other thread and it seemed like the big expense for a gen case set with crystal and crown is the crystal. I was wondering if I could save money by not buying the gen crystal?

The case already includes the crystal

I assume many buyers would like to get the crystal if you decide to part from it

All about the details!!!

E

Is that gen kevlar?

Great pic!

And i will mix another redbull vodka just for you guys and just becuse a can

Cheers!

Man..that was a long time ago! Many bars here have stopped serving RB/Vodka since it ruined the bartenders expertise!

I´m a sucker for Long Island Ice Tea though

Ubi my friend.

What would this fora have been without you?

Class act!

When I see a ballpark number of the profit he made off this forum( a non sales forum) we can begin to discuss entitlement.

Even at 10 percent his profits would be thousands of dollars.

We as paying members should be entitled to an iwc discussion forum without sales posts.

He said he was no longer making ports not all frankens. He has very recently shilled other forums with new parts.

Would I be "entitled" to say anything in a sales forum where communication was good and the complaints of poor workmanship were not mounting daily?

Probably not.

...nah..you are not worth it!

I'd like to see pictures of that 3714! I could've swore that he said no more Portuguese chronos...check yer PM please.

I don´t at the moment.

I have a couple left to deliver that was ordered a long time ago.

When all orders are shipped i might be able to produce some more since i am working on a little project ;-)

But at the moment...no!

Hey!

Neither of these models are any good compared to the gen.

I would go for the standard black (-01)

Can´t go wrong with that!

Good luck

or any good watches that have white dials this one

I smell a boiling rabbit....

Thanks guys! You warm a old heart!

And Tex..let´s please discuss any issues you/we might have via PMs,,now it all feels like throwing dirt....

I´m getting tired being bashed all the time by certain members.. so maybe this will be the final and last projects.

Now i am off for a two weeks vacation in the sun

C ya around my brothas from other mothas

Edit: I´m blind

How´s the AR on the cyclops?

Concepta, you are certainly have no reservations about self-promotion.

Mike

Nope...as i am in the advertising business it´s in my blood

I shot you a PM

Let´s make some babies!

I don't know if anyone has successfully kept a rep movement running, but if they did, would it still be possible to put the gen dial/hands/tachy ring on the rep movement as the case wouldn't need to be reshaped?

No i think gen dial/hands is a perfect fit. It´s the movement that does not fit a rep case unless you modify it.
