very masculine watch

I never thought that I'd like the BP. However, after seeing the reviews, the watch, putting it on, and seeing how close to gen it looks and feels one cannot resist. It is a solid watch and feels gen. Love it!!

Nice pics! Great looking piece. Like you I was not so fond of the BP at first. It is slowly climbing up to my short list. Thaks for sharing.

Not really sure, but I do believe it goes back to IWC's nautical beginnings. Now I do know that the 5002 has two versions. The first and earlier version of the 5002 has the fish crown, while the second version (called the transitional 5002) all have what they call the Probus crown. The rep is a copy of the 5002-1 version.

BTW: This watch is virtually indistinguishable from gen.

Working PR, or faux?

yes working sort of......but certainly PR not for 7 days so can not truly be replicated in that respect

Great shots!

This version is the Faux PR. I have heard it has a PR of about 5 days--more than enough for me.

EDIT: Thanks for the positive replies!! Love this watch!
