arm1tage Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Got my 2nd rep today from watch-international. Took a week from payment to arrive since they tested it for 2 days. I'm very happy with it overall. I know the dial color is too dark, subdials have a raised instead of lowered center, and the inner part doesn't have the brushed finish of the gen. Of course the date wheels don't match either. But it's a nice watch and no one I know will ever tell it's not a gen. Wish they didn't use the same serial number as the IWC promo pics but that's minor. I had them switch the brown strap on which I think is a nice contrast with the blue. But the strap is a cheaper cow leather and I'm sure the gen croc is much much nicer. Anyone have any options for a nice brown 21/18mm strap? How are the rep deployant clasps? Anyway, on to the pics!

gran Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I heard part of the revenue should go to "good foundation" for children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Congratulations...not a bad looking watch at all. I've heard nothing bad about the IWC deployant clasps...and most of the rep deployant clasps are pretty decent overall. I would look around In the bracelet and strap area...Im sure something will pop up. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T222 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Hi there. If you are looking for a darkbrown strap for you Laureus, I can recommen this one: http://www.watchworx.co.uk/pages/lwb/elitePop/Explorer.htm I know it's not croc, but it looks great, and wears perfect. I have one in this darkbrown for my Spitfire, and two in black for my Pilot and Laureus. They are great, and they are cheap! I have ordered them in 22mm, and they fit perfect! You can even put the IWC buckle on it. The "best" part is, they smell of leather, and not of "plastic" like the ones that comes with the IWC watches! ;-) I can recommen the 3717! Very nice watch :-) Cheers, Steffen :-) Edited April 13, 2012 by T222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
