cornerstone Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Here's an example of an gen purchased as a direct result of this hobby. It isn't my own (damn!!), but when a family member saw my watches he went to check out some IWC's in the AD and came out with this beauty. Previous to holding the watch in my hands this wasn't near the top of my most wanted list - but, whoa!, it looks amazing on the wrist. I preferred it with the leather strap (actively disliked the bracelet in photos) - but surprisingly I liked the bracelet a lot in person. Nice finish to it. If you have any queries about the gen - now is the time to ask!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 If you have any queries about the gen - now is the time to ask!! Just one. AR - is it close to the gen on the rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I haven't held the rep to compare - but the AR certainly is not very strong. Not an overwhelming feature of the watch - the Chieftang double AR was much stronger in comparison - but it's certainly noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 how bout the lume? and also the clasp? did it have any holes on the side of the clasp (where it says "IWC")? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Beautiful watch! Never really liked it when I've seen it pictured but when I got one for my father - BAM! loved it! Now I need to get one for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Wearing mine right now and damn, outside of the AR it's pretty near spot on. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 AR absolutely needs an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 When I look at those gen pics I really feel the rep is damn close. Double AR, date wheels and we are almost 100% It also looks like rep end links are not as sharp and deeply engraved as those in gen...
