Master Chief Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I already have 3717, and I really like mine. Now, I'm looking for a good SLEVIN, someone report some problem ["swiss made" misaligned not at 30, but at 33] and [Chrono at '6' sometimes working, sometimes don't]... I don't know who has a good SLEVIN, all dealers have same one or not? pls let me know MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra-man333 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I just received my Slevin from a dealer called SoCalTimer on another board. It looks great. The Swiss Made is aligned perfectly. It is an absolutely stunning watch with the SS bracelet (in my opinion). The SS bracelet was the reason I decided on this instead of the Cousteau. What is interesting is that some dealers state that theirs has double AR, and some say single AR. Mine is single AR, but I am not concerned about that since I was planning to send it out for double AR and date wheel change any way. So maybe there are different factories building these?

spike Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I got mine from Josh but had him send it direct to k222 for ar & dw mods. It is by far my favourite now..... Cousteau is next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks raman! I will go to Jakub for double AR & swapping DW-day wheel. and I know socaltimer at geek but I don't have buying experience... He's price so good? or same other dealers?

Master Chief Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Thanks Spike! I know Jakub is gentleman!! Your slevin is GEN not Rep! right? Looks really really GREAT!!!! ANd 1 more Question, how about quality of detail (dial index...)?? I got mine from Josh but had him send it direct to k222 for ar & dw mods. It is by far my favourite now..... Cousteau is next Edited March 31, 2008 by Master Chief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 To me, the dial/detail looks perfect. There may be some glaring differences to some experts here but I can't spot them. To me this is an amazing rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this is an amazing rep. Agree! But when you look at the lume markers, will that not bother you? I mean, would IWC really apply them crookedly?

dluddy Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I do Got mine from PureTime with no crooked markers. Since then it has had: Swiss 7750 movement swap (with ETA Day/Date wheels) Full SUperlume by Ziggy Chieftang double AR coated crystal.

I haven't had mine lumed yet and up until I saw dluddy's I wasn't going to get it done. Wow dluddy yours looks great!! How much was it to get it done?

Pugwash Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I got mine from Precious Time in the UK. It's not had anything done to it yet, but it's due some K2222 AR and I've got some ETA date wheels in a box ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra-man333 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sorry for the late response guys, yes, I got mine from SoCalTimer on Repgeek. Very happy with mine, and the price was lower than the other dealers as well. The lume markers are all straight and as good as it gets. It looks great without any mods so far, but it is going for double AR and datewheel change as soon as my 3717 with the same mods from K2222 is back!

Master Chief Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks dluddy & Puggy! How about yellow? anyone who has yellow Aquatimer? It looks good or not? Gen yellow is a little bit Lemon color, how about rep? Edited April 5, 2008 by Master Chief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggi Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) The shade of yellow is a small detail compared to the fact that the gen yellow version only comes in titanium... And the yellow accent on the inner bezel & the minute yellow hand does NOT glow, in another words, no lume on them. I don't know how the Gen is but I nevertheless I don't understand the purpose of just one lumed hand? Edited April 9, 2008 by jaggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I just received a Slevin from Josh, earlier this week. It arrived perfect. All markers alligned, "Swiss Made" perfectly alligned at six o'clock. Indeed Double AR, but not very effective AR, certainly not to the level of Chief and K2222's. But i'm happy with it, took it in black not yellow. Yellow was tempting but from what I heard not accurate as it should be titanium not to mention I'd probably grow tired of the yellow quickly. Not sure if I'll bother to have it re-AR'd, if I had the abiltiy to remove crystals I'd do it in a a second. Jakub did my Navi a few months back, came out wonderful.
