Hi folks,
I want to buy the black ceramic Top Gun. Again.
Used to have the 44mm Top Gun. Great replica.

However, I am a bit skeptical since this watch has been in production over 6 years. Are they still making it or will I end up buying an new-old-stock version? Toro claims no change for that.
I much more prefer the 44mm size but what about the newer 46mm? Is this a better replica than the classic 44mm? http://www.intime01.co/iwc/2627-pilot-iwc388001-zf-1-1-best-edition-ceramic-case-on-nylon-strap-a7750.html
Then there's this newer 46mm with the wrong 44mm size. It's best of both but just a fantasty watch. Why is it more expensive, any explanation? http://www.intime01.co/iwc/3050-pilot-chrono-iw388001-real-ceramic-v6f-1-1-best-edition-on-black-nylon-strap-a7750.html)
Pros of the new 46mm:
* Glasp
* No Top Gun stamp
* Ceramic looks more black than the old style 44mm, (which tends to be a bit greyish). Please confirm
* ZF quality?
* Newer production, thus more reliable? New innovations?
Pros of the old style 44mm
* Size!
I'm just curious if a replica watch-maker really continues producing a replica after 6 years? I owned the 44mm version back in 2011/2012...
