Thats a nice 5001. Looks like ZF V1 or V2. Usually goes for 225-250.

That is the same strap I am looking for my 380N as well. PM incoming.

How's the V3? How's the clarity on the crystal? Does it need the vac treatment? How's the datewheel? Want to pull the trigger but if I need to send it to vac, I think I'll just wait til a modded one comes up in the FS section.

Lol. True! I tried to do the pr mod on my iwc 5004 and bent the hands without proper tools. Never again will I work on my watches! Great tutorial tho!

Very nice family, umm (PAMily) you have there. Is the 232 a solid caseback?

Great write-up! Thanks for sharing as I have one inbound

The 113 is not for you. You should sell it to me since you snatched it from me. LOL. Looks good atleast it went to a good home. Cheers!

I could probably pick out one tell. AR on the GC grand carrera) and 1887 are not gen like. But I haven't owned an 1887. The stock AR is Similar to IWC BP out of box. I have a black GCC17. Thought about having an AR mod. But used the money for a gen gator strap. I could live with the stock AR. I love the watch but for $400, I'd rather get a Noob or H-fact PAM. Hope this helps

I believe that was a gen.

Killer collection!

Great comparison and attention to detail. What the heck. Gonna put in an order on this SD, thanks man. Was really going to use the money for an AP. LOL

I think the rep calibre 8 are all 21J which will have the quick date set on the side. Not sure but my theory.

Wait for when they rep the P9000 movement in year 2020. Like kaiser said, it's a great rep but not a super rep. Don't quote me but all of the 1950s case is not a super rep. I love my 359M but the 288K, 237H and 286J gets more wrist time.

I have an RG Chopard MMGTXL and used to have a Rolex GMTII-C all gold. The plating is pretty durable. But of course the weight is a lot lighter. Never ordered from watchcollector but I'm pretty sure the TDs sell this model. If you decide to buy it, please post pics! GL

Sweet. Now- Still waiting on pics!

Which TD carries the latest with the AR'd cyclops? Is it just the cyclops or the entire crystal is AR'd? I went on andrew's and angus' site and neither stated AR. But I did see the update awhile back and now I can't seem to find it.

Nice pics! Wish I have a friend who's a dealer . I have the same watch and I love it. Nice to know that the gen Lume is crap too. So I don't have to spend on that mod. Maybe just a better AR.

Thanks for the clarification!

that white dial/ gold combo is really gorgeous! thanks for sharing. URkuk- cant wait to see the finished product!

Hi everyone, Hope all is well. I was browsing through his site just now, and noticed all of the 3714 models now have AR. But in the video, I couldnt notice the blueish tint its supposed to give. Is it colorless? Not sure if its already been brought up in this forum. Tried doing a search but nothing came up. Maybe it was a typo on the description. Could anyone confirm that AR is now offered with the newer versions of the 3714? link to PTW: http://puretimewatch.com/product/portuguese-chrono-3714-ss-whiteblack-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a7750-improved/ Thanks in advance, CWD

wow! this is amazing! i have the same watch! sadly, it doesnt look the same as it was DOA.

you took it a step further and AR tinted your gauge display too? nice watch and car. it suits you.

thanks. will look around for local watchsmiths that are rep friendly. if not successful, do you have someone you can recommend thats CONUS? how much did the service cost you? thanks for the tip!

Hi all, I recently received my first IWC (another IWC 5004 on its way). I did the usual, winded the watch up about 20 rotations and then winded in the locked position. But the movement doesn't work. Is there any way to find out if the watch is DOA without harming the watch? Everything seems to be intact. There's no rattling of some sort. I am aware that the Portu models are a pain with the seconds at 6. Am I one of the unlucky ones? Any suggestions or tips is greatly appreciated. Best, CWD

im sold. im picking up a 390 next. and im picking up an ass strap too along with it. congrats!
