Wearing this beauty today. 

Yup, GF is really into Breitling game. How’s the AR on this thing. Do we see crazy light reflections? If possible could post some pics showing the AR coating quality. Thanks 

@tframo this is the GF version, right? There is a noob version that is super close to gen , but it comes only with a rubber strap. Do we know how the two versions compare?

Today my relumed ploprof on a gen rubber strap. 

Thanks guys. I see the 3M logo. I can get it aligned correctly.

Hello Folks, I received my omega Planet Ocean 42 mm Ti today. The bezel insert came off (see the pic) as soon as I opened the package. Looks like it was not glued on (factory miss). How do I put it back together? Thanks

Sometimes you just got to improve an already great rep. Here's my blue steelfish with profsteve's 2 X AR crystal.

Here's the watch on a gen pro3 rubber strap (the tang buckle is polished) with my grail Seiko MarineMaster (sbdx001).

There are a couple of more strap options I want to try . So stay tuned....

Thanks

I hope somebody can help me make sense of this. Every forum I visit, plus the folks I have talked to are eagerly waiting for this watch. Some of them have been trying to source one for years. So it's a little confusing that there hasn't been one out already. I think the demand is high enough and they will sell like hot cakes.

Frankly speaking, the factories keep pumping out some reps that people don't care about.

What do we need to do to get the factories to take notice and manufacture one.

Incredible! Precisely the reason why @Legend is a legend here. Will follow this thread for sure..

Hi All,

I have always admired IWC from a far and have been unsure of what to buy. I have always been a fan of the BP but never got round to owning one and always wondered if it would suit my wrist.

That being said my IWC journey started last month when I made my first purchase which was a Mark XVIII on a bracelet which I bought from the forum it was a lovely watch great daily and looked very elegant, however I wanted something else and up came a 3878 a watch I didn't know much about but I was instantly in love with the dial, the fact that the it had a custom made strap, made it even more of a appealing, so the Mark XVIII was put up for sale and my 3878 arrived.The watch is fantastic the build quality coupled with the amazing strap made it look and feel spot on. The dial changes depending on the light and this watch just keeps giving. At this stage I thought I had found "the" IWC for me and this chapter of my collecting should technically of been closed. I was wrong having just missed out on AJ's BP, I decided I needed to own or at least try one and as luck has it Dury was selling his brand new 5009 ZF, so after a face to face I become the proud of BP, the watch is fantastic look and feel and surprisingly wear well on my wrist.

I decided to bite the bullet and buy an OEM strap which has made the world of difference.

I then started wonder how the 3878 would look on the pilot strap.

Now for some pictures:

The watch that started it all, the Mark XVIII (now sold)

3878 on brown leather

The BP and the 3878, as they look now:

I am thinking of changing the crown on the BP to and original crown if anyone knows where I can source one, please let me know.

Thanks for reading!

BP for sure. Timeless classic.

Nice camera skills. AR is as good as it gets. Yellow seawolf gets a lot of love, but this is nice as well. Enjoy it.

I agree with @StormTooper4, there's certain charm about the stainless steel and titanium omegas. The black version's don't quite fit in any particular category. 

@kt122806there's a whole bunch people (including me) looking for this version. Hopefully, factories will start producing it again if the demand is high enough.

Can someone please confirm if it will fit AP royal offshore classic safari. Thanks

Nice one buddy! Think you are missing an IWC diver..

Not sure about the meta quartz version. Do we know the factory?

BTW, the JF divers are out. They look great.

Thanks Ryaku. Toothpricks did not work. Need to use something stiffer for the end link pins. 

Hi guys,

How do we remove the rubber strap on IWC costeau? I have spent quite a bit of time researching this, but was not able to find a thing about this. I have an incoming bracelet, so I need to figure this out.  Any help would be deeply appreciated. 

7750. Just sold it. M2M

That deepsea looks real nice. Which version is it?

I believe 7750 is newer and closer to Gen (see description). I am not sure which version "Pearl" has, but I am guessing its 7753 as 7750 is fairly new. Thanks

Are these Classic SMP chrono's still available? By-Tor I agree completely with you on alphas and invictas. They feel cheap; bracelet feels as light as an Aluminium foil.
