HauteHippie Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well I have had this gen case set, gen crystal, gen pushers and crown lying around for months on end, and having finally finished a huge project a work had some free time today to make use of it. I transplanted her from the original rep case into the gen case and slapped on the DiModell. I like the look! At the next service interval, I'll have The Zigmeister slap on some gen hands and a German DW. PS - I really have to say that the gen crystal is very annoying. Why can't IWC use better AR??? I need to talk to them about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asf Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Looks great! are you going to chief a rep crystal and place it on there or keep the gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texski Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Looks good. I have a complete handset available. Better get 'em before I find a good home for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almond76 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Fantastic looking watch. Can u share on where can i get the same strap please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks, guys. She's a very versatile watch. I'm tempted to redo the gen crystal with chieftang AR, however. :-) Strap: http://lonestarwatches.com/Chronissimo.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Looking good! The crystal (while nice because it's gen) does not come anywhere near the quality of a chief AR'd crystal! IWC has some big standards to match in that regard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Beautiful beautiful watch, but yeah the AR is average compared to..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Looks fantastic B! I concur with all above. To me the only step back, after finding all of my gen parts, was the quality of the AR on the gen crystal. Wow B, just noticed we are in-sync.

HauteHippie Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Wow B, just noticed we are in-sync. Or ... we're both out of sync. I had set my watch wrong -- Friday wasn't the 1st! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migge Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Wow B, you have really been on a buying spree!! Looks great, and I do agree about the AR on the gen IWC´s... Wear it well, with all the other amazing watches you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolwatchdude Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I was not a fan of the kevlar strap, but after seeing this- Money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The strap really does make it more sporty. I concluded since it is one of my smaller watches to use it more as a work watch so after trying a number of different approaches - carbon, brown leather with studs, etc. I am right back to a simple black croc. No pics today though. No access to photobucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
