  1. Top Gun 44mm or 46mm

    in The IWC Area

    Posted · Edited by d4v1d

    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...

    David, did you manage to take some photos of the comparison for the rest of us to enjoy?

     

    I'm sorry, title is a bit misleading....  but no I couldn't do that.. Would have been a bit awkward

  11. Gen Sub vs my TC

    Hello people,

     

    I own a TC Sub V5 (LN) and I love it. And old friend of my came by to buy a gen Omega from me. He was wearing a gen Sub LN (do not know which year) and we did a little comparison between my TC and his gen.. My TC V5 has only a gen insert.

     

    The major differences were the dial and hands... and the whole face of the watch, actually. I don't know why, but it looked different! It even looked like it has a slightly smaller diameter. The cyclops was not a big difference, btw... 

     

    My question is: if I throw in a gen dial, gen hands and gen crystal.. Will the watch face look 100% the same as gen? Theoretical it should.. still I'm not sure.. Maybe it will always look different because you know it's not the real deal.. even with so many gen parts..

     

    And TC bracelet and case is stunning! Actually my TC bracelet looked better than his old bracelet :inverted:

     

    Thanks!

    Hi all,

     

    Got my TC Sub yesterday. It's great but the magnifying window is not spectacular... It kinda reads hard and it's not very clear. Gen cyclops is much crispier. TC uses Clarks right? So no AR?

     

    I'm looking for a gen crystal with the coronet at 6. Really have no idea for how much these go.

     

    Has anyone one for sale or do you know where to get one?

     

    Thanks!
