fexofen Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi allHas anyone bought this watch yet? I've been dying for one of these for sometime now but this rep looks really well done. I would appreciate if someone could write a review or feedback on this peice.http://www.puretime.watch/product/portuguese-real-pr-iw500705-ylf-11-best-edition-on-black-leather-strap-a52010/Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsd Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 That is the YL version which is told to be not the best version. But Ryan/Intime has the better ZF version now in preorder (YES! I'm in!): Portuguese 5007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fexofen Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Ryan has no blue version of this watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylog74 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Because the blue one is a closed caseback and limited edition ... the blue one you see would be fantasy for what maters . and ZF should be the best option so wait is what you need to do ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule play Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 That white dial with gold numerals version is quite nice. I may jump in after I sell something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacsah1 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I wonder how reliable this movement is. If it's going to be like the P3000 clone movement, then I'll pass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 The ZF maker and V6 is planning to hit it big with IWC s coming into next year..The ZF has spent a few quid developing a suitable movement with PR and we will be getting to see a lot more IWC reps attempting to be the super reps in the same way the makers id it with PAMs a few years back now...They have also bought a few gens to work with and there is plenty to come on the IWC front with these new PR movements ... The only small detail is they are or will be 3 day rather than 7 but you wont be able to tell with the way they will be configured especially in models like the 5002 etcThe net few coming are the newer Top Gun Ceramic models including the Miramar then after that the Big pilot etc etcThese are totally new movements so dont judge them on what we have had in the past 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule play Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Excellent information. Does the ZF expect a Q4 2015 or Q1 2016 release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Excellent information. Does the ZF expect a Q4 2015 or Q1 2016 release?To me mate I aint sure if you mean tax year or gregorian or Chinese but thats not really relevant (just me being a twat ) so I will put it in a less twatish way.... You find the Chinese rep makers work to thier big holidays the one coming up now and the CNY etc plus to a lesser extent our CrimboThese ceramic Top Guns 3880-01 & 3880-02 are right on close to be released in fact they are ready the makers are just sorting out the marking/codes for the inside of the strap thats all..Once those are done it will be released so chances are it could be just before this holiday or just after the rest will come along around and coming upto Crimbo then either up to CNY or just after and then for thier summer national holiday... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginsd Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 BTW: it is in fact a 5001 rep and not a 5007 rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I must say that I really appreciate the new approach to decorate the movements. But what the f*** is this terrible piece of metal on the center of the rotor? That absolutely ruins the decoration for me.

gasebah Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) I am a bit puzzled now as I have not seen it on any of the pictures of the gen movement. There is a video review of the 5007-02 here. I cannot see it there (5:50) for example.Or here:http://www.uhren-miquel.de/IWC-Portugieser-Ref-5007-05_art_7570_de.html Edited September 26, 2015 by gasebah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasebah Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 That to me looks like a kind of transportation lock. Not something IWC would spoil their gorgeous movements with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Movement doesn't look too bad considering, but what does the Seventy Hours refer to? Seven days is a lot more than seventy hours. Is that on the gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Lol....no it says "forty-four (44) jewels" but who cares. It is a number. LOL.And here is a pic of the movement. No strange scrap metal riveted on top of the rotor. Edited September 27, 2015 by gasebah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsd Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) You are showing the movement of the gen 5007. The gen 5001 really has this piece of metal in the center of the rotor:http://www.uhren-miquel.de/popup_img.php?lang=1&AE_imgSRC=pic-art/IWC-Portugieser-Ref-5001-aus-Edelstahl_IW500107_art_1299_bild1_1368690991.jpg&AE_imgName=IWC+Portugieser+Ref.+5001+aus+Edelstahl+-+Detailbild+Nr.+1;+Klicken+auf+Bild+schliesst+Fenster.IWC5001b.jpgAs I said above this is a rep of the 5001 NOT of the 5007! There are some slight differences between this two versions. Edited September 28, 2015 by higginsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Ok. Got it. My bad, or maybe not. Wrong movement for this watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maevit4996 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I really hope they do an updated Big Pilot 5002, I'm aching for one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 My watch acquisition disorder has been in check for many months; I haven't even logged in to RWG since April. I made the mistake of logging in this morning to see what was new. Big mistake. Now I have to buy this...Small issues aside, this is a stunning rep of one of my favorite watches of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I was a sceptic in the beginning but now I ordered one myself. Just treat it as a 5001 not as a 5007.I have ordered a gen strap as well Ref. IWA05285. I have a source that sells them for 210.- €. Definitely more expensive than a RIOS or the likes. But quite reasonable for a gen strap. In case anybody is interested drop me a PM: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
