Cromag Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I just got back from a visit to the AD. The 3777 looks pretty darn close. Here are a few iPhone pics. I also tried on the $14k 3878-06. Pretty sweet watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Nice! I really love that St. Exupery font! I never ever visit AD's, I know I will find myself ending up in a certain situation where blue and red flashing lights will show up in my rear mirror...

markiemark Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I hope the rep factories will come up with a proper sec@6 movement, so they can rep all the beauties from IWC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 yeah, looks pretty close.. one thing that i could spot is the Date and day wheel. But other than that, its very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromag Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Gen Rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsd Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Arrived today: my gen 3777 dial. The differences I (am quiet sure to) see: the white color is more white on the gen dial. The black is more black. The small fonts look a bit clearer or more "cutting". I can't describe it better. Possibly it's only an imagination. But the main flaw and the reason why I sourced a gen dial: the triangle at 12 on my rep dial is a little bit crooked. Normally nobody can see this. But you know: I know it is crooked and so I see it every day. This is annoying and so I start my first franken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLD Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 where did you source a gen dial? The 3777 is already a pretty sweet watch, but with a gen dial it would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromag Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Wow! Nice! Let's see it when installed. Also deserves a vac Lume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromag Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Wow! Nice! Let's see it when installed. Also deserves a vac Lume I mean vaclume AR. Gen seems to be a tiny but cloudy. Maybe rep can be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsd Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks! I sourced the dial - at an AD in germany! I called him, asked and he said: "No problem. Send me 250$ (185€) and I'll order it for you. Delivery time 3-4 weeks." No questions like "Why?" or "What is your serial number?" A simple, good deal. The strap is a HKTan distressed brown leather. Contact Aaron if interested. I'm waiting for my BP-strap in grey alligator with light blue stitch like the strap on the attached picture! Jacob is a fantastic strap maker but he has looooooong waiting lists. Can you tell me more about the vaclume AR? What is the difference to the rep AR? Where can I get it (in europe)? Price? Last question: does anyone know where to find a gen crown with tube? OK, I can try my AD again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromag Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Score!!! Or translated for you euro football lovers... Goaaaaaal!! Vac does the best AR coating on the crystal in the US. I think the gen AR is cloudy on this model. It's very strange and needs a rep AR Vac if out of Florida but you guys have someone in EU for good AR.
