Wolf Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I can't beleive this is a rep....until I see the day/date font, but even then, this watch is awesome! And the gratuitous bad wrist shot:
deltatahoe Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 wow -- great pics wolf, and beautiful watch. this iwc just keeps growing on me. i'm curious -- did you do some polishing of this one with a cape cod cloth before taking these pics? the watch looks a bit shinier than other pictures i've seen. deltatahoe
kidxer Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 wow... stunnig photos... you captured some amazing detail on that dial... love the thick/raised white markers (and numbers to a lesser extent, but still raised). i must say, though, that the 4 rust-coloured pinions on need to be dabbed with some silver enamel. i.e., rep: vs gen: (see gen photos in the following thread from timezone: http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tre...2694&rid=0)
jeff g Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I agree with you. I put this watch on and can't believe it is a rep. Your photos are fabulous. Now people don't have to look at my fuzzy shots anymore. Wear it well.
Bignasty Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I wouldn't even sweat the date. Happens on the gens too. Great watch! Thanks for sharing!
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Excellent pictures! It does look very very good!

It's not really a problem, unless you happen to be sitting in a cafe and some WIS runs up to you with a loupe, or a macro lens and starts inspecting your watch really close up
Watchmeister Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Great pics. Got mine yesterday. Your pictures do it justice.

uziuzi Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 VERY NICE !!!! We need a datewheel fix though, ASAP....then this would be my favorite rep in terms of accuracy....but who knows for how long.....Mr Cousteau is on his way.... Can you make a lume pic ? I heard the lume is exceptionally good for a rep...

eunomians Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 It's a damn sweet watch, isn't it? I got mine yesterday. I am most pleased with it... And yes, I will post pix in a few days. A date mod would be nice, but for now, it's fine. PS. It is a very substantial watch.
watcher Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 This is becoming painful now and I'm starting to sound like Chad!!!!!!!Where's mine!!!!!!! I have a swiss 7750 waiting for The Zigmeister to insert into this baby with a new date and day wheel from eta in black and based on the few genuine watches I've seen it looks to be a standard Valjoux font or at least very close. Anyone else agree?

Anyone else agree? I agree, it might not exactly the standard font, but it will close enough. BTW watcher, I was driving past the Parcelforce international hub the other day and I could have sworn I saw a customs inspector wearing a 3717 Sorry, that's cruel, I'll stop it now.
rsv123 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Sorry, you know I'm only joking Where did you get your day & datewheel BTW?
chubbchubb Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 A stunning rep... enjoy it. I'm off... looking for a nice little neighborhood bank to rob.... too many beautiful reps coming out lately....
robertk Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 This one is now on my list too. What a beauty. Already have the Inge chrono amongst others and now this IWC's are the new Pams!
watcher Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Sorry, you know I'm only joking Where did you get your day & datewheel BTW? Cousins material house along with a 7750. They had to special order the wheels and they only cost around 4 quid each but I have not got them yet, 28 day delivery time!! Another day passes and no IWC for me!!!
