was hoping to get some advise

[penaduny]

so i have been buying replicas for the past few years, have loved everyone of them, but lately ive been wanting an IWC. was hoping to get some input on PureTime if anyone has one from them. this would be the first rep Ive gotten from puretime.. the one im am looking at is this one just wondering if it would be a good choice, or if i could be pointed in the right direction to better, i would be very thankful for any advice i get. thanks again guys

I would say no, not to PT but the version you've chosen. The Non Functional PR ones seem to be better, I have the grey (white gold) 5004, its a good looking watch and closer to the gen despite the crown tube issues. The version you picked from PT has the recessed date wheel still. I didn't even there was a Bartorelli that was 2 sub dial version of the pilot , apparently the gen is titanium as well

I second the above. You are better off with the NONWORKING power reserve model as they are so much more accurate. Either go with the stunning white gold look version as per above, or go for the standard black dial 5004 if you prefer that dial.

Good luck

I will second or third that opinion. The faux power reserve models with the nomenclature of fixed datewheel are better. I know Josh and Andrew were offering them. I don't know about Puretime.
