ogladio Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Looks gen to me. Usual tells are the dw cutouts, subdial depth and surface finish (gen with more "blasted" surface). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginsd Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I think it's rep. Gen IWC dials don't have such thick/embossed and rounded indices, they have complete flat indices. And the colour of the lumed indices doesn't differ from the colour of the other indices. Possibly it' gen but then (I think) it's relumed. Also the indices in the subdial shot are too grainy in my opinion. Edited June 15, 2014 by higginsd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginsd Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I used a gen for reference and when you look at 10x macro the lume is also ever so slightly domed on a genuine. Then IWC changed it from 3717 to 3777. The lume on gen 3777 is almost flat. Gesendet von meinem iPad mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edigital Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 beautiful work. care to give a bit more details on how the mods were done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 First I removed the hour markers. Grinded them down and beveled the edge a bit. Than relumed. Also reworked the date cut outs. Currently the movement is torn down and serviced. All screws replaced by silver ones. Auto wind bridge with the circular pattern striping installed and IWC rotor with swiss baring to top it of. Al that is needed is a gen strap to compete this project. Still thinking about bevelling the crown on the case side to get a more gen like appearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromag Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I was going to say rep. Main tell, among others, was the surface. Very nice job on the markers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susumon54 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Very Nice Dial! 'IWC' & "SCAFFHAUSEN" print above/below date window could be thinner and more crisp as per gen. Really nice work in any case.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
