FxrAndy Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Wow they look good i would love the blue hands version, but i will be happy with the gold that i ordered already, but do the chrono pushers protrude a bit to much compared to the gen?

zbig Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Don't forget we're talking about replica and we can pretend same Iwc quality... however you're right...that's why i'll probabily confirm panda version where hands looks more accurate as they're all grey and finishes are less evident. I know that, but like other brands we have a few versions replica. Maybe this time we will have? Genuine have much darkner blue hands than replica.

robertk Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Well, I ordered the white dial panda, knowing this was coming. Maybe, I should have waited for the black dial panda? It looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Is the blue way too light? I recall on the gen, the blue almost looks like black. replica hands and genuine hands are different please notice: replica has blue color hands, genuine is not blue color. It is blue steel hands... blue steel hands are very expensive... the steel was heated by 290-310 degree in a special method (for the blue color) look my hands set on my list standard hands set 29$, blue steel hands set 89$ retail price of my blue steel hands in SWISS is 149$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG DIFFERENCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slay Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Lol thats supposed to be a genuine watch. Yet the caseback looks like a cheap 5$ BBK rep, IMO... Not very well done by IWC, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Black dial for me then a strip down and double AR coating on the crystal and we are set! That is the biggest flaw on IWC reps, they have very strong AR even on these models. I'll have to wait 3 months until I return home the to U.K though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Do these reps have sapphire crystals? Can anyone confirm for sure yes or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I like the black dial/white subdials version, strong and crisp. The white dial with blue hands is boring. I agree with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolWatch Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Guys, these IWC watches are really beautiful. I was really tempted to get the version with the gold hands. However, these watches are equipped with Asian 7750 movement, which from I have read is extremely problematic. The Asian 7750 movement have serious design flaws and I am just worried it will break after a few months. I heard this movement is not oiled andyou may end up spending a lot of money servicing it Do you guys think it is worth to spend $238 dollars on a watch that wil cease to function in a few months even though it is a beautiful watch?

I have 3 watches with old movement 7750 2 years old, and one with 7750 b1 28,8. never had any problem, Everytime when we have new watch with 7750 mov. I see ble ble ble about 7750 mov. Every mov. need oiled and need servis, it's only replica. The Zigmeister wrote evrything about this mov. please read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 if the blued hands and markers look anything like the photos..... it's screaming "fake" this is one of the biggest problems on replica watches... the blue hands are cheap blue color and not genuine blue steel like genuine watches... that is the reason why i never purchase a replica watch with blue hands... looks HORRIBLE example: tourbillon replica watches. 1000$ watch, but cheap 5$ plastic hands?

Dunno, the hands on my old PAM172 rep looked pretty good. Shame it wasn't made of Tantalium! I agree that the IWC rep blue hands are too light though.

rsv123 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 My hands were more like the ones sold here: But I see your point. However, how likely are you to come across anyone who has seen a real blue handed IWC port auto chrono and can remember the shade of blue? They are probably going to spot the lack of AR coating at the same time an anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okram Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 It's good to see new alternatives coming. While they all look great, I'm still waiting for these black versions: https://www.iwc.ch/collection/collection_de...=en&mid=207 or https://www.iwc.ch/collection/collection_de...=en&mid=205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
