Glitch Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Quick specs: IWC Portuguese with Panda dialserviced movement and @6 frozendouble AR'ed crystalcurved end leather strapQuick impressions:PR has improved dramatically after the extra gears were taken out. no more sluggish chrono hand movementAR is TRULY impressive. get it for one of your favorite watches if you have the fundsdial just glistens now. see the finish on one of the pics below. markers are also really shiny now. this is because there is no more glare onthe crystal.Curved ends on the strap fill the gap nicely and it hugs my wrist better IMO.

Seadweller4000 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 It looks really good but as far as I know, the gen doesn’t have any AR and like olreon, why the frozen subdial at 6? Gen is heavily AR coated. He froze the subdial at "6", because the extragears will cause trouble after some time. Awesome watch Glitch. Wear it in good health!

Pix Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ideal mod. Perfect. I've always desired this rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yes, gen does have AR. You may be referring to the GST, which does not have AR from factory now here's the thing - once you've seen how the double AR brings out the dial beauty, you'd want to do it to all you watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Is that an OEM strap? I love how it fills that gap between the lugs, and well enough can't be said about the AR it's a MUST HAVE on a watch like this. Enjoy that beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francisco Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Gen is heavily AR coated. He froze the subdial at "6", because the extragears will cause trouble after some time. Awesome watch Glitch. Wear it in good health! Now it is not necessary to freeze the seconds subdial.

Pix Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 For those who want a leather strap that sticks to the case, Hirsch is having a whole range named Leonardo. http://www.watchband.biz/pi1401303088.htm?categoryId=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarpo Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Congratulations, good mods. But for mine, I will try to improve the seconds@6 issue with the "graphite magic" before stopping this feature. Francisco be ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
