superlative Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I guess nobody knows or cares. I think the tells are huge. This is a stinker of a rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolwatchdude Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I could probably pick out one tell. AR on the GC grand carrera) and 1887 are not gen like. But I haven't owned an 1887. The stock AR is Similar to IWC BP out of box. I have a black GCC17. Thought about having an AR mod. But used the money for a gen gator strap. I could live with the stock AR. I love the watch but for $400, I'd rather get a Noob or H-fact PAM. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanic Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I can attest to the problems with the grand carrera, the one I received had terrible CGs; it was so bad that I could not even screw down the crown. As for the 1887, from what little comparisons I've made to pics of a gen; is that the tachymeter font/printing greatly missed the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biodom Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have the gen of this 1887, the V3. And the rep are not accurate at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas1979 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 i am looking to buy a rep 1887 should i bother??? really love the watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Steer clear of the V3 reps, they are not even close. a better bet would be the rep of the V1, problem with that, I don't think they ever made/sold the V1 1887, they were simply the prototype but I think it's a little closer. I agree, I love this watch too, I am about 4 months away from pulling the trigger on the gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uki_don Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hey Superlative, did you ever take the chance on the 1887? I've been looking recently and although the factories have struggled to replicate the 1887 there has been advancements regarding the quality, is this right?

superlative Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 No. I never bothered. I'm looking to get a Carrera Day/Date or Carrera Date Racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwengler Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 As anyone found a good rep for the carrera 1887 yet. Just joined the site after a friend got me a nice tag, now looking for another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 They made a rep of the SLR 1887, with the brown dial, it's no bad, if you like a brown sunburst dial... I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eschenpod Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 What about this recent version from Puretime? http://pureti.me/product/carrera-cal1887-chronograph-ss-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a7750/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wani Yi Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 If my memory is correct the tachymeter writing(cant remember the correct term:( ) location is different on gen n rep. Some reps dont even have themSent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 This rep is the ver.2 Cal.1887, this was a limited run before the final version was released. This watch is fairly accurate, the sundial bezels are a little thick but otherwise it looks pretty good. The movement in the back of the watch will be wrong, the watch will use a 7750 movement which looks a lot different from the Cal.1887. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
