WOWWW, looks like there is no glass at all. What aprox does chiefs run? Id keep the black, it looks hawt!

Great collection great strap choices!!!! Can you tell me where you got your box from and how much?

My final list for Breitling is as follows : Seawolf Yellow Stainless Blackbird Black Stainless Navitimer World GMT white dial stainless Skyland avenger black steel v2 BCE v2 graphite dial stainless Super Avenger white dial stainless Super Ocean Steel Fish asian eta black dial stainless I also ordered the Ultimate Hublot Luna Rossa, I have the Super Ocean Heritage already. The 2 watches I couldnt afford after selling my gen were the Skyland Avenger Graphite Dial V2, and the Bentley 6.75 white or black dial....I can substitue either one of these 2 for either one of the other 2 on my list....If I were to subsitute the bentley or the skyland, it would be for the navitimer or the hublot----so would you guys keep it the same, or substitute the skyland or bentley in for the navi or the hublot if it were your choice? (note I already have the skyland black steel, and the bentley gt...I thaught the navi would be a nice change of pace)

Great choice of dials and straps, the 29 looks great on the carbon strap

Great guys, thank you. I have decided on the 5002, I planned on getting the PAM submersible, and the submersible regatta, since they are almost identical, I will not get one of the 2 and get the 5002

That was my number 1 choice And thanks for the feedback Dont forget guys, that I will be purchasing all of these I am going to swap out a panerai or 2 for an IWC and a Bell & Ross I want an Audemars T3, but that will come later

Do you mind posting a few pictures of yours, maybe a wristie or 2? I am as picky as you are, and those mods would come in the not to distant future Thanks for your help, I agree the 5002 looks great, and will most likely be my choice.

I will go ahead and scratch all of the others, and decide between the 5002 and 5004...I like the look of the 5004 the most, but when you say the "DAYSI" flaw, what do you mean by this? The 8 day reserve is faux right, which would be a flaw? If they are the same size, and the 5002 is almost flawless, I will most likely go with that one, and shoot for a gunny strap

I am new to IWC, and have spent the last hour or so searching around the forum and reading up on everyones watches, but still need a little help. This will be my first IWC, I prefer large diamater watches, and know that I like the "style" of the Big Pilot 5004. I have found these 3 replicas from Josh, and wanted to know if I should be looking for something in particular? With Breitling, there are so many versions of each watch, and some know which are the better of the versions...being new to IWC, I didnt know if this rule applied here as well, I would want the closest to gen, ultimate models. Thanks guys I know this one isnt the best, but how far off is it for $88.00? http://www.jpc8118.com/iw10008-pilot-47mm-black-p-1703.html The choices of better ones : BP5002 http://www.jpc8118.com/iwbp10002-pilot-500...uto-p-6647.html Cerlati http://www.jpc8118.com/iwbp10005-pilot-cer...uto-p-5920.html BP5004 Thanks in advance everyone

wow, love the strap, wish you would sell it to me

bump

I will await your pics! I am doing the graphite skyland now, instead of black. Everyone agrees that the white dial super avenger is the closest to gen right?

Thanks yo, the black looks great! I feel as if I am partial to the white for some reason, maybe bc it appears to be bigger? Then again I have the white super avenger, so I dont want them to look similar...decisions decisions

IMO the REP looks better than the GEN! Great pics and comparison

Thanks again Yodap Once you receive your white dial, any way you would post a couple of pictures for comparison?? If you happen to have any wristies, or any random shots of your black dial laying around I would love to see them. Thanks again everyone.

EDIT : I was informed that both the lowbeat movement, and the high beat have engraved movements, not stickers. So my options are : $350 - FULL CERAMIC case/bezel/etc, low beat asian movement, DOUBLE AR sapphire crystal. $300 - Ceramic bezel only, pvd case, low beat asian movement, single ar sapphire crystal. Worth the extra bucks guys?

Thanks for all of your input Yodap, it was a huge help when deciding. Here are my final choices Blackbird - Only version made Skyland Black Steel - V2 (more gray from what I hear, and more correct) Navitimer World GMT - White Dial on SS SOH - Blue on Rubber Seawolf - Yellow on SS BCE - V2 Slate on SS Skyland Avenger - V2 black on SS SA - White Dial on SS Bentley 6.75 - White/Black on SS I cant decide on the color of the bentley, what would you choose if I want the closer to gen color (white or black)

It was sent to me from the dealer, I will ask him now For $350 I can get the full ceramic model, low beat movement, double AR----or $300 for the one that I just posted up only ceramic bezel, what do you guys think I should do?

I will go with the V2 skyland, and the V2 CE, yellow seawolf

It has the ceramic bezel , but is not full ceramic

Here are a few pics of the hublots I have found for about $350 each. What do you guys think, compared to the next model which is 28.800bph with double ar for $600. Movement - Asian 21,600BPH Sapphire Crystal with AR coating Ceramic Bezel Upgraded Strap

wow, 4-500, not worth it to me! Thanks guys for your help, I will just do the v2 for now, once I can afford to get the v3, I will buy it and swap the parts. Is it wrong to swap the parts and sell the v3 with the v2 parts on it to make some of the money back?

I would recommend a donerix strap, I love mine from him, and the quality is amazing for his great prices,and he is a pleasure to work with. I didnt know this had the regulator, thats a plus

Ill be ordering the 199 this week as well, the polished bezel mod looks great on it. Have you seen the strap smiths green leather? Its different for sure

I was curious how the quality of this was, and for 138....wow, looks great! Any pics of the back, and lume?
