brianpelooza Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hi chaps,I am currently in the middle of my hols in sunny Bodrum, Turkey afd find myself an IWC which i honestly do not know if its a replica from an original model or not... either way I like it a lot.But first a review on Bodrum market and the replica shops.... seriously not the best quality and price, tons of quartz models and qc rejects from the top end replicas. And of course the mechanical movements are from japan and swiss....yeah right! If you mention this forum they bring top notch watches from a briefcase but want a wooping £500.00 for them. However a day on my own while wife and kids enjoy the pool i saw this IWC. I think is a cracking looking piece which would need some mods. The crystal is single AR but i believe its mineral crystal rather than sapphire. The build looks decent and the dial details are well made and the full see thru case looks great. The rotor if inspected closely looks a bit tacky. What suprised more is the quality of the strap... nice thick leather looks the business wi no need to replace it in a number of years. Al of this for £85.00. My thoughts are to either replace the crystal or do a proper double AR so suggestions are welcome. I live in the UK so any tips will be much appreciated. My apologies for the quality of the pics from the ipad and looking forward for your comments.

Big Dazza Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Are the dots on the dial lumed? If not some killer lume in them would look pretty cool and the caseback looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
