cwai02 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I bought it from King and it took about 4 days to get to US. The watch is lighter than I expected. I ll replace it with a gen dial. Some quick shots...sorry, I need to study for MCSE test next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfman Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I get mine today from Joshua : the sub dials are silver and not white. It is the same for you ? What is about on the gen ? I'll try to post some pics tomorrow (with my poor digital camera) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I love this watch with black dial and silver (or white?) subdials. Stunning. Nice pics too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filantoro Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 It came with the boxes? If that's true...then King is da bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 It's a beauty but i have just one perplexity: are reflection very evident with this black dial? I bought it from King and it took about 4 days to get to US. The watch is lighter than I expected. I ll replace it with a gen dial. Not a enthusiastic comment Thanks for pics I think I am going to sell of my 3 Portugiesers and get this one. Which one are you selling? I hope not the panda.. I get mine today from Joshua : the sub dials are silver and not white. It is the same for you ? What is about on the gen ? I'll try to post some pics tomorrow (with my poor digital camera) Yep, subdials are silver. Post some pics if you can, wrist shots would be much appreciated.

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Great pics cwai! I think I will also get this one, looks really nice. I am so happy that they finally managed to rep some IWCs! I already have a Portugieser Laureus, a white face/blue hands Portugieser on the way and today I bought a new Ingenieur from EL!!! Can't wait till they make a Big Pilot! IWC's feel great after all those Pams and Rollies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmosblau Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Are the subdial hands really light blue, or are they darker in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the glass ? Does it have AR treatment ? What is your global feeling about this watch ?

Golfman Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi mate ! How is the glass ? Does it have AR treatment ? What is your global feeling about this watch ? Ok friends, let's go : It's from Joshua, and as usual very good communication, more and more faster delivery (5 days betwenn order and delivery to France), so in conclusion : Thanks Mr Joshua First impression : little bit surpise cause of subdial silver colour : i was expected in white !! But after reflexion is better : the same colour that numbers, more class. The subdial hands are really light blue (i fact it depends of light) Quality seems to be really good (not have yet any pb as the Group Buer). Joshua told me not to use chrono during the first 48h. I'll post tomorow about it For the glass, no AR (unfortunatly the gen seems to have it) Strap must be replaced. On a such beauty you must have a gen croc A friend of mine just have buy a gen one. We'll compare it next week : don't worry i'll post a report on this confrontation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Are the sides of the case brushed? Was just handling a gen today and noticed that they are> Also the centre of the caseback should be brushed as well (I know this is not on the rep).

Golfman Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Another little thing : the serial number is the same as on the pics of Josh & Andrew web sites ... It should be the same on others rep (PAM) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I've try the chrono today : workfully but not reallistic : very hard pushing button and reset too fast. It's not for that use, but remember it's just a rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I've try the chrono today : workfully but not reallistic : very hard pushing button and reset too fast. It's not for that use, but remember it's just a rep Stupid guy, i shouldn't have write this before seeing the gen one !! It's done, i've had the gen one in my hands tonight 'full white with blue hands). So i an say it now : our rep are amazing rep !!! The only differences : - engraving on adjust button (IWC marking) - center off the caseback is brushed and not polished - the thickness off the bezel is little bit thin on the gen - i'm not sure but the IWC marking on dial semms to be little bit big on gen (1/10 mm) - the blue hands on subdial seem to be more dark blue (but not sure, i haven't seen it with real light) But contrary that i was thinking the chrono works the same way : big click to start and reset is very, very fast as on the rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
