fitmic Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't there will be any improvements. It is as good as it gets. Wrong date font, and too short hands, besides that, A DAMN FINE REPLICA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romp Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't there will be any improvements. It is as good as it gets. Wrong date font, and too short hands, besides that, A DAMN FINE REPLICA! Man - wish someone would buy my Ingy for $921USD! I could get quite a few more reps for that! Biggest giveaway for me was that the serial number is the same as the serial number on my Ingy! aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 As mentioned above. Short minute hands, wrong datefont and non-AR coated crystal is the biggest giveaway. If you have the chance to hold the genuine and have the rep, compare them in terms of movement winding sound. The genuine is using Pellaton winding system while the rep is normal ETA2824-2 ball bearing rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datewheel project is initiated (lello), AR Coating can be done, and NOBODY notices the sohorter hands, especially not if you put it on a genuine kevlar with gen IWC deployant clasp...I am working on this ...and the sound....I will try that tonight...

Yea, I´m trying to find a gen kevlar, no luck so far... A gen strap with buckle at my local AD is USD 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 uziuzi, you're correct about the datefont and AR coating. I will try to obtain the genuine Kevlar strap for this model. I am expecting to be in 300USD range with deployant clasp <--- very expensive in common Swiss Made watch (i.e: Breitling, Panerai, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uziuzi Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yea, I´m trying to find a gen kevlar, no luck so far... A gen strap with buckle at my local AD is USD 400 I know its hard...I am trying to source the gen deployant clasp in 18 mm. I am not willing to pay 230 Euros for just a stupid clasp at the AD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I paid 20USD for a genuine IWC buckle (nonetheless the price of the buckle vs deployant is day and night). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndonville Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Its a replica. UlfalsoofSweden Outside of the obvious one of the easiest ways to tell quickly is the back of it. On a real one the company is "CO." On a replica they f**ked up and did it with a "Co." Pretty damn stupid of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stenofsweden Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I dropped the seller of the auction a mail before it was ending, no response so he was probably aware it was a fake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
