Casey Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 What do you guys think of the new iwc? It looks pretty close to me, but I have not been able to find very many pictures of the genuine on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have been searching as well..for the white model, to see if it exist... but this discontinued model so very elusive.. The bezel paint is also unusual.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I found a review of the watch and that was about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 What do you guys think of the new iwc? It looks pretty close to me, but I have not been able to find very many pictures of the genuine on the web. It's very close, but has one or two gotchas. It's closer than your average Sub or SMP though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 What are the flaws that you can see pugwash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 What are the flaws that you can see pugwash? Straight off? The minute ticks are the wrong length. The date window is too close to the edge. The ticks at 12 are too close together. You know, really minor stuff you'd only notice if you sat there with both versions in front of you. Have I mentioned how much I want one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 i gotta have this one. Those flaws are not enough to keep me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Does the white version exist? I have searched and can't find a reference to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 i gotta have this one. Those flaws are not enough to keep me away. The only thing that's stopped me from making Mrs Pugwash cry about having to eat noodles for the 5th week in a row is the lack of Titanium version. That and the fact I prefer my balls unkicked.

Richard Tracy Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I pushed the button... she's too beautiful to wait on. went with white,.. Does anyone know if a leather band can be fitted on this lady ? Seems not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks Pugwash, you found it.. is gold evident in the hands and markers..?? I feel much better about my jump now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Does anyone know if a leather band can be fitted on this lady ? The original came with an optional velcro band. I believe it had special end lugs that replaced the ones at ... um, the ends. Come on, the IWC has bar none the finest strap ever made. You'd be a fool to replace it.

Pugwash Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks Pugwash, you found it.. is gold evident in the hands and markers..?? Please don't mistake my meticulous and thorough research and eye for detail as expertise, by the way. Until the dealers posted the pics of these reps, I'd never heard of these beauties before.

Come on, the IWC has bar none the finest strap ever made. You'd be a fool to replace it. Well after having owned two gsts and a third in transit,.. you are right, the bands on these are like liquid metal that flows over the wrist..{though you should try in s/s.. = smoother. } I have never felt the likes.. though I suspect that a Jubilee may come close.. I will know in a few as I have my first coming soon... I may not change this Aqua,.. just was curious about the possibility.. and had a quick flash of the black model with a thick black shark skin band... but since most of my collection are clothed in leather a few metal bands would be nice.

ehtolcad Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 The only thing that's stopped me from making Mrs Pugwash cry about having to eat noodles for the 5th week in a row is the lack of Titanium version. That and the fact I prefer my balls unkicked. at first i read that as 'i prefer my balls unlicked' to which i thought why the hell not?

robertk Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I must be better than you then Unfortunately, that ain't it. I'm doubting they have a white version. This one may be a fantasy. Somebody prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
