nomis Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I am new with IWC and i decided to take a rep first, but i will like to take a really good IWC rep. Can anyone give me some suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 3717 maybe, if you are after a chrono, or a portofino if not, with a bit of work the new Mk XVI can be made great also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 It's a subjective question, I mean, what sort of watch styles do you like? A rep may be highly accurate but you may hate the way it sits on you. I agree with FxrAndy above though, a classic accurate rep is the 3717. Then again some of the 'seconds at 6' (non chrono) Portuguese are relatively accurate and don't require much modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Avoid any of the seconds at 6 chrono's, otherwise the Ingenieur's are excellent, or the pilot series, Top Gun or 3717. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunik Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 i have a IWC F.A Jones with seconds @ 6" nonetheless is the only one viable for that position. All other are stopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folex Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I know theres a pinned thread, but it doesn't give clear hints as to which IWC's are closest to gen, or should i say "Super-reps". Like in the Panerai's there's PAM005, etc. Your opinions would be appreciated, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 You will have to spend a bit of time reading and learning Unfortunately this rep hobby is never a one stop shop when you want the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fa Jones In my view they are all good but if i have to choose, I will definitely opt for 3. The new (black dial) Portofino Automatic.
