IWC Portuguese 7 days Power-reserve rep from china - need your opinion

It's a shame that there is no decent rep of the 5001. It is such a nice watch. Could not be to hard to make a nice rep -
is the movement already more trustworthy?

Who did you buy yours from Martijn? Looks like one from me..

http://pure-time.com/product/pre-view-royal-oak-offshore-diver-forged-carbon-noob-11-best-edition-on-rubber-strap-a2824-v4/ I think the quality of some reps this year are really really high..And I like that!

Hi guys, I am looking for a part that is in the clasp one my noob GMT v2 It is a bar used to set the bracelet. I need a thicker one because this one is just a little bit too small and now the little clasp part keeps unfolding every time there is some pressure on it. Who knows what the part number is of the gen and if it is possible to source somewhere. I know it might not fit but I want to give it a try! Thanks

How long did you have to wait for domi to do the mods?

nice one! But expensive..;-)

Sorry for the quality, taken by iphone 5s with little time and bad light and no preparation Gen left date 26, rep right date 29, Look at the hour markers at 6,9 and 12 the reps are way bigger, the round hour markers are also to big Green part on GMT hand is to thick compared to gen Black hole effect is good on the rep from some angles but not all Lugs are thinner on rep and crown guards also have a different shape, again hour markers are off on the rep rep top, gen bottom rolex logo is thicker on gen and darker, maybe fixable with paint mod? Seen some rwi with success. Here I tried to capture the closing mechanism, Rep in front, the angle of the "hook" that closes the clasp is little bit different but it does work well on the rep Endlinks are a little bit recessed on the gen (in the back of pic), not on the rep Crown guards are thinner on the rep, but was hard to make a good picture of it. Lugs are thinner on rep and dial printing is more raised on the gen ( gen top, rep bottom)

So I did a fast review with rep VS gen. Pics are by far not perfect and could not highlight the differences as much as I liked. So far the flaws - 12, 6 and 9 markers are way of.. They are too thick and this is next to each other very noticable. - hourmarkers are off, the rep ones are to big not being anal - the printing is off, too flat and spacing is not correct. - bracelet feels very cheap compared to gen, even after oiling treatment. Gen was two years old. But still felt way tighter then the rep of 1 day old. The clasp closes smoother on the gen and feels more quality. - the lugs on the rep are thinner then on the gen, not very noticable but next to gen definitely something you can spot easily - the teeth are not correct. Though still good on the rep. - the crown guards are a bit thinner on the gen. - lume is ok but not as strong - as on all reps the paint on the insert numbers is terrible but a very easy thing to fix - the numbers are quite good. An ienimini pitsie thinner. But then you are really looking at the smallest differences - AR is ok but by far not as good as the gen, but fixable with gen crystal - Lume application is good around the edges but it has little dimples in the middle of each hour marker, maybe they can fix this in a second batch Goods - on the wrist it looks good, my friend who owns a gen iwc portoguese and gen GMT IIc could not spot any flaws without his own watch next to it. And then still not as many as I mentioned here. So who will notice the difference? Us the anal rep collectors

Now I am getting more and more excited about receiving the watch..and that without a lady being present...
