magagne Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I'm tempt by this version, find it very classy but still sporty: Want some feedback of people who already has/had it, about the durability of the finish, etc. Thank you for your input.

I do not have it, but this is probably the gen i most want right now.

eddhead Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 is it because am I too old ? I hope not.. as i mentioned the gen is one of my favorites of all time.. no i do not have one. I will say i am dubious about buying gold plated reps though. I have 2 and am not really happy with the quality of the "heavy plating" and "wrapping" That could be the reason why many members shy away from gold.
kingkitesurf Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 I also heard that the gen of this version does not exist... according to an IWC freak I know...
nelly Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 I also heard that the gen of this version does not exist... according to an IWC freak I know... If you go to the IWC website it is displayed as a current model..... "Reference IW371713 from IWC The Pilot

Edd, can you enumarate what model is? I heard that guys who have the Bret TT for exemple, are pretty happy with it.
takashi Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 This version exists in genuine and featured on IWC Catalogue 2007 as well. Quality of rose gold coating on case is pretty good, maybe PVDed like recent Panerai Ferarri Rose Gold: pic here:
piratedzeus Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 I see a flaw in tkashis watch but come on... these are REPS

takashi Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 Well true... Flaw at the moment is the lume on the dial, weight of the rose gold coated case (genuine is heavier than the rep, this goes without saying), and so on.
