dutch937 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I just wanted to post some pics of my PO. I received it about 2 weeks ago. With the exception of a small dust particle under the glass, it's a great Rep. I can't say the same for the other that i had ordered at the same time. An IWC Top Gun 3799...It's arrived pretty much DOA. It has the a7750 movement. I could have sent it back, as the TD was very accommodating, but i chose to just deal with it here and took it to a watch maker/repair guy. I guess a couple of the wheels are bent and the parts are ordered...Once fixed, he will guarantee it for 1 yr. Not bad. Anyway, an ok experience for my first purchase(s).

sunnydale Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 It is so amazing rep, thanks for sharing! I have a genuine and pic 4 would have fooled me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomega Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Nice one! very crisp numbers and triangle on the bezelring. Hope it will stay that way. ordered a new ceramic insert for mine because of the fading numbers (3 weeks old) . Good luck with this one Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch937 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 There are definitely some flaws...For under $400 there better be. When i zoom right in, you can see the lume isn't done very well either, but again, you don't see that from looking with the naked eye. i have my eye on a few other reps that i would be more apt to send off to someone to mod them so they are close to perfect and maybe i will do it to this one too. Can someone please recommend the best person to do this and how they can be contacted? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomega Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Pearl is inserted a bit high and lume in it is not the best. Planning to solve this with the new bezel insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luc717 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Congrats Dutch, great looking piece and photos. I have just ordered the blue/titanium version but this looks so good it's got me wondering if I made the right call! you look to have got a very good pearl and 12 marker as well compared to some I have seen. Was this the first one you were offered in QC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardik315 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Amazing rep. Glad you fixed it. Enjoy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this the first one you were offered in QC? Yup, first QC pics. I guess the way i looked at it was if there wasn't anything major that i could see, then i wasn't going to complain. I have my doubts if they actually even send the same watch as the QC pics...Maybe someone that's a little more seasoned could add their two cents on that. Either way, very happy with the Omega. I'm more excited about the IWC when i get it back, as well, i have a IWC 5002 on the way as well. This is addictive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luc717 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yeah that is largely my attitude as this is a fairly good/accurate rep. Unfortunately there was something major wrong with my first rep on the QC so I've had to reject it. Hopefully the next will be better!
