  1. This still has a chunky centre peice Thomas. V3 was better on this respect. Did they not use original drawings?

    This difference still shouts rep regardless of tight lug fit. Look at the difference to the smooth gen next to it. Stops me buying a tc watch again :-(

  2. The v5 does not look to address the sel that was nearly so good on the v3. The centre section still looks chunky and too long so it doesnt nestle inside the lugs well enough although this maybe a case issue and where the lug holes are located.

  3. I built mine using a noob lmpo as it has a great case and perfect ar. Also the crown and tube is perfect and he valve too. The bracelet was good too bit I fitted gen sels and clasp. I will find some pics as I regretfully sold it earlier. I fitted gen parts Dial Hands Dw Complete bezel assembly Sels Clasp And it looked superb. IMG_2138_zpscbaa7cdb.jpg

  4. I was confirming that this version has differently drilled case lug holes compared to the v1 which is why the maker had to remake cases before releasing this v2 with bracelet. Somewhere on the posts you mentioned gen case fitment to which I have no idea but think it would fit as I have fitted 3717 rep bracelets to gen in the past.

    I don't own a gen iwc anymore. Sorry for any confusion buddy.

  5. The bracelet sels give away a tc every time. Even the v3 was not quite right. Maybe the lug pin holes dictate this but the perfect sel should be more contoured and sit shorter inside the lug.

  6. I hope I'm wrong, don't want to be giving bad news. Ask Angus-- it was a discussion I think where to others' surprise, he stated it would not fit, which is why it stuck in my mind.

    You are wrong! The rep bracelet did not fit the previous rep case so the factory remade the case as the pin holes were in the wrong place.

    I would imagine this bracelet will fit the gen case.

    I have still not received my watch. Very slow service from puretime this time around!!
