Pics of my IWC "Slevin" (modem burner)


Khurram

Recommended Posts

Just arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier!

This is a real stunner which has to be seen in person to be appreciated.

The SS band on this is the absolute best i've ever seen on a rep and overall the watch build and quality is top notch.

The double AR is also amazing and as you can see in the pics the crystal literally disappears.

If anyone was thinking about getting this one I would highly recommend it!

Now, on to the pics-

Crap... did you really have to do that? Now i'm gonna lay awake all night wondering how i can come up with the money to buy me such a beauty myself... :p

I highly recommend getting one, you won't be diappointed. As for difference with dials, the main difference is the placement of 'schaffhausen'. On the rep is is further left than on the gen. See....

Great pictures!

It looks like they have improved the lume markers on the hour markers! That is the main thing which have stopped me from buying this.

A gen dial just sold for 123 USD on eBay.. :)

Khurram,

May I ask who you purchased from?

Beautiful pictures. This watch is at or near the top of my list... I am debating my next purchase right now...

Totally unrelated, I gotta say, Chrgod, your banner has been fascinating me for a long time. I usually don't like blondes but...

I purchased it from a fellow memeber here on RWG. I'm assuming her got it from one of our main dealers.

The inner bezel is perfect and build quality is top notch. Angus has them in stock and he's always been good to me so I would recommend him.

Not picking faults ( 1st rep I bought was a Slevin) but do try to get a photo of your watch if you can, the biggest issue with them is the "swiss made" at the bottom being offset.

Mines is slightly offset like Khurram's but after speaking to my collector he told me that some can be really bad & thats pretty much its main QC issue, other than that a nice IWC that I've no issues in recommending to buy

Angus was a very reliable dealer, unfortunately his customer service is getting worse and worse.

I bought from him the same watch asking to check carefully the bezel alignment and the swiss made position. I asked several times and despite this i got a watch with a poor alignment.

Obviously he dropshipped.

Worst part of the story, after weeks, i'm still waiting a mail from him for the replacement. He want me to ship it back at my expenses and in advance.

This is not the first disappointment with Pure Time for me and you can read many horror stories around about him.

If you really want to be sure go with Precious time or Ruby. Forget Angus, he's not a good bet anymore,.

I understand what is meant by the "Swiss Made" alignment and I can see that while close, it is not perfect. I am curious when you are speaking of bezel alignment - are you speaking of whether or not the white triangle on the bezel aligns well/perfectly with the chrono hand/12 o'clock position? (or perhaps I should ask, is that what you look at to determine the bezel alignment?)

I am asking because I will probably order this watch from Ruby at some point (I have used her for my first rep and was very happy) and I want to stress what things I want her to look for).

Appreciate the clarification!

Again, beautiful watch!

Has this piece been modded in any way?

I can't answer for Khurram but that's exactly the way mine came from the dealer, mines came with the rubber strap & I got the metal band so I could switch.

There's a few have posted Pic's of there's on here (me included) & you'll find them pretty much identical.
