Looks really wonderful!

Congrats on such a beauty!

Glad you are enjoying it! The new strap really complement the watch! The buckle is great! Looks really nice. did not know that this was available. Nice combo bro!

Sorry guys, that day is not good for me. I have to attend a Church event at the Indoor Stadium in the evening.

I am looking for one, but no luck?

My favourite Glashutte! Wish this is repped too but I am not sure if it can be done with the Big-Date.

That's a beauty, bro!

Actually, that looks more like an 89. Also a GMT but in Titanium and anthracite dial.

Cant wait for the review, Lani.

Great!

Looking forward to meeting the older members and seeing their collections! So KTV huh? Interesting, so who is going to be singing while the rest are admiring all the nice watches on display!

Mate...that is a big endorsement.....you should know...Lani meister is in a class of his own.

Yes, he is. the similarity I see is the amount of watches you two seem to buy. You must have a great collection! Look forward to seeing the collection and also learn from you guys!

Sure brah

Great! Look forward to seeing your collection. You kind of remind me of Lanikai of Singapore

Am ok with it mate...though it may not be very private but we can still have a fun gtg and hopefully win some money

Can I join in? Sounds fun, especially the "private place".

Hi,

I have the opportunity to get a brand new set of dial, hands and crown with Probus Scafusia for the 5004. If there is anyone who is interested, please pm me!

Thanks

Dont know if the watch is rep or gen but there is a gen dial with L Swss L under the 12.

infact, I believe there are no rep dials with L Swiss L below the 12.

it looks really nice!

Can't wait to get my BR01-92 DLC coated by you!

Finally the iwc big pilot 5004 with correct hands is listed on joshs page. Only thing is that it still has the wrong strap but i have an oem big pilot strap at home which waits for this watch :-)

Any other flaws beside the sunken date wheel ??

Nice! I still have a couple of the gen BP crowns with Probus Scafusia! Hopefully, they can be used to be swapped on on of these!

Hi Guys,

I'm located in singapore, a tiny country located in south east asia.

Beside The Zigmeister, chieftang, k2222 & jakub(MIA) who are located in the europe region, any idea if i can get any independent watch repairers in the asia region to do it?

thanks

Hi,

for what you are asking, sorry no. In fact, I dont think any one does the rotor engraving anymore.

..and movement, and crystal, and hands.

You will have one fantastic 3717!

ill do that tonight.

ill pm you some pics too.

regards,

asim

Thanks Bro! So any of the modders can fix that? The Zigmeister?

there is, if you look at your pic, there is a fine high gloss greyish circle around the 12 and 6 subdials. you can see it better at the 6 dial in your case. then compare with the rep pic at the top.

I agree there is a high gloss circle around the sub-dials but I actually think its more black than grey.

If you could get some close-up pics, would really appreciate it!

you have to get the Gala gen, no question on that!!!!!

as for the TP, yes it is amazing. i would just get the subdials for the chrono modded with the "grey"ish rind around them. all that is required is paint that matches with the gen. i will try and do this myself, we have the gen at my AD right now.

Hey asim, you work at IWC right? I honestly do not see any grey sub-dial when I was at the boutique. Here is a pic of it on sale as well and it looks to be with no grey sub-dial.

better priced than the gen huh?

i am considering this one as well.

well, Ideally I would like to get this and the Galapagos! however, that would not be possible and between the two, I would rather go gen with the galapagos!

Having just seen the gen again at the IWC Boutique, the pics here has shown how good this rep is!

Your pictures has made me ordered one! Really beautiful!

Beyer has the Galapagos at 7600 CHF / $6759 USD.

The Deep Two is a whopping 18,300 CHF / $16,274 USD!! Yikes.

I want the Deep Two!!!

I got arond the same price range when I asked at the IWC boutique in Malaysia. I am gunning for the Galapagos!

Hi Mark,

I'm afraid a gen crown won't fit. The rep crown has a tube that is threaded on the outside. The gen tube is smooth on the outside. Although it's a screw down crown i have no idea where the thread is.

This looks like a mighty project mate

The gen dial is somewhat less smooth and this gives it a more deep black look. Chief's AR looks more or less the same as the gen AR, so that's good. One thing that always stands out for me is that the 12-3-6-9 markers are different from the rep markers... but they don't glow much more!! The gen superlume is hardly doing it's work, but keep in mind that this watch does not need to have dive watch specs... but pilot watch specs!

Just be aware not to spent an amount that could also buy you the gen...

Hi Frank,

thanks for the advice! Honestly, the only thing I am consdering now is the movement, to ge the gen movement or just stick to a swiss one? what do you think?

The difference in Dw is really not that much but the costs is nearly double!

Yeah,

This is really nice!
