The 15400 is not the Jumbo, that's the older 15300 which is 39mm. I guess it was considered 'jumbo' a while ago when it came out compared to even smaller RO back then

The Jumbo is actually the 15202 and not the 15300.

What about US deliveries?

How easy is it to switch from bracelet to strap? I didn't see any screws on the case?

7753 and 7750 stems are compatible. It should be a simple swap unless the stem length varies. You can always just buy a new stem and cut/sand it to size with the 7750 crown into the 7753 movement.

I believe I heard the Slevin model was being phased out with production capacity being used for the new ATs. Having said that Andrew didn't mention any issues with getting my Slevin bracelet.

Nice! Gen crown, gen crown guard, gen hands, and gen crystal?

I'm looking to mod my old logo base. Anyone know where I can get a good curved crystal 35.5mm x 3.5mm? AR not necessary as I'd send it off to get coated. Conversely, if anyone has a lead on a genuine crystal that would be awesome! Anyone have any pics of modded bases?

The rep stainless steel bracelet is a perfect match for the genuine case. I've looked at it under different light sources and I can't tell the difference. A much better alternative to spending $1400 on the real deal. Since a rep bracelet fits a genuine case, I believe the genuine strap/bracelet will fit the Slevin case as well.

Just in from Andrew! The IWC Aquatimer bracelet is nice if a little rough around the edges (literally). Sorry about the poor pics (mobile).

Has anyone tried fitting a gen rubber strap or bracelet to the Slevin as well?

Has anyone with a rep 3719 (Slevin) tried putting on a real IWC rubber strap or bracelet? Good fit? Any pictures? I'm guessing if the case is 1:1 with the genuine article then it should be a pretty simple mod?

Forgive me if this topic has surfaced in the past (couldn't find one with search) but I was watching Mythbusters last night and noticed what looked like a Rolex on Adam Savage's wrist. Being intrigued I spent the rest of the program paying attention to his wrist. At first I thought it was a ss sub but then I kept seeing PCL and a silver bevel. Finally got a good look at it - it's got PCL, a YM bevel and case, and a black dial. Either Mr Savage swapped out the dial on a YM or he's wearing a bad rep. Funny - just thought I'd share.

Hi friends,

I am considering to buy a gen daytona 16520 or 116520 (of course with a loan). I saw that there are so many versions that I cannot decide...

...I want to make an investment so I think that the 16520 black dial with brownish subdial is the best version (how much does it cost??)

Do you think that the new 116520 with rehaut engraving is a good investment?

Any suggestion would be really appreciated!

Thanks

116520 is $9,925 USD in the states. Honestly I don't think either Daytona is a good investment. In any case, there's bound to be a new Daytona soon so either one of these will be vintage.

You are correct. The CD has inside lug dimensions are supposed to be 16mm and outside lugs 26mm. ATs are 15mm and 25mm respectively. CDs are 44mm and ATs are 42mm. They shouldn't be compatible.

I've been bitten by the G-SHOCK bug (as I usually do this time of year). So to satisfy this craving, I wen't ahead and bought this lovely white Rasta. Took delivery 2 days ago, and have been in love with it ever since. Took my Vespa for a ride this afternoon to do a little grocery shopping. God I love this weather!!!

That's a great looking ride. What kind of helmet is that? I love how it looks!

Gen does indeed have Ti helium release valve.

My first BUMP and POST!
