MasterLuke Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I am sorely tempted by the version of the IWC spitfire Chronograph over at Perfect Clones... The Spitfire Chronograph SS Black Asia 7750 Chronos 28800bph at http://watchwindersworld.com/iw10040-spitf...bph-p-2047.html and the pricey swiss version at http://watchwindersworld.com/iw10043-spitf...nos-p-2142.html Are these the best versions out there? Is the swiss movement and apparently invisible gold plate worth the extra $? Is the second hand at 9 O'clock (and the chrono) in the 'right' place for the Asia 7750 28800 movement, or would it have been fudged? Any owners with reports of the quality / reliability of these watches? Anywhere else I should be looking? Your help and experience is greatly appreciated, I'm new to this.

River has the silver dial of this at $139. From what I can tell, it's pretty much the same as the Flieger I reviewed apart from the dial. Oh, and yes, the 7750 is the exact same layout and the seconds-at-9 is the right configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterLuke Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks very much for the info, pictures, and useful review. I think I like the version you reviewd even more, if anything. All further contributions, of course, very welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great bargain for a nice watch! If you get it, just be prepared for disappointment over the rep leather strap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my rule: Whatever strap comes with a replica watch gets replaced. It really is that simple. Thanks very much for the info, pictures, and useful review. I think I like the version you reviewd even more, if anything. Me too, which is why I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
