ubiquitous Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks for the kind words, one and all! I've really gotta say; if it weren't for Concepta sourcing the dial and hands, I think I might have had to resort to just buying the gen. I foresee this one going into heavy rotation, whereas the Daytona and the others might be seeing more of the watch box lid. I never realized how practical a day-date watch was until I started wearing some of these IWCs @delta- Looks like modelizer and Zig covered the question on this, but yes- The tubes on the hands are silver, and riveted to the hand. As Zig notes- Very functional, and it adds a nice finishing touch. The small details, eh? @techlogik- The day wheel is in German.

deltatahoe Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 @modelizer, ziggy & ubi, thanks for the info re: the hands. it's definitely in the small details if you ask me my goodness, what a beauty deltatahoe *PMs concepta about gen hands*
ubiquitous Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Posted November 13, 2009 Indeed- The hands make for a much more aesthetically impacting difference than I had anticipated. The overall detail on the crisp, sharp edges and corners of the hands really stands out. Chief's amazing AR work on the crystal helps to provide even greater clarity to view these parts
Toadtorrent Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Wow Ubi...that is stunning!!! With the AR, it actually looks BETTER than the gen.
concepta Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 I have a waiting list that is longer then immigration applications from Mexico to US
ubiquitous Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Posted November 13, 2009 Business is booming, eh buddy? By the way... Any word on that other dial? I'll PM you...
concepta Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Business is booming, eh buddy? By the way... Any word on that other dial? I'll PM you... Well..as i make around 50 USD on each dial (and that need to cover shipping costs)..so yeah I am treating myself one extra beer tonight
ubiquitous Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Posted November 13, 2009 I'll be sure to take care of you on the next go around! Thank you for getting us all the good stuff! I know I most certainly appreciate it!
gmtlover Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 I am looking for a 3799 or 3789, so doing some background checks on all sorts of IWC's. Love your watch! Enjoy it!
themeditator Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 Hi Ubi Any chance you can pm me? Can't seen to msg you
