Just saw these pics of gen Cousteau at TZ.

Look at the perfect day-date display.

For those of you who complained about crooked markers, you can feel better now. The gen has the same problem!

It will be very interesting if the owners of the Cousteau try to shoot yours in the same fashions for comparison. Thanks.

I'm not a good photographer, the lighting is not ideal and I just use whatever I have for a quick shot, just to compare.

Markers at 12 (shadows create illusion that the lume of bezel looks crooked, it's not)

Thanks Amadeus for taking up the challenge very promptly. Your Cousteau looks very good. The differences in these pictures are rather minute and can not been seen without very close look. If the day-date can be improved, you've got really good one.

Congratulations. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Interesting that you can call out many IWC reps by the 'Schaffhausen' text being to large in comparison to the day/date - this one being no exception. Is the veneer encased in plastic / laquered? I'm interested in how it compares to the original. The rep looks amazing though, I'd better start saving!
