I would like to have an IWC but need some advice if this is a good one ore not? And i found it on the perfect clone home page. Is it a bigg different between the gen and this one?

fitmic Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Go for the Ingenieur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxlawbr Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I suggest the Pilot Chrono: http://www.pc-80108.com/iw02008-pilot-chro...bph-p-3066.html Or the Inge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omeega Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 My Slevin sure is sweet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_brian_ Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 The Cousteau Diver is surely one of the best reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy boy Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 The spitfire watches are generally not considered particularly faithful replicas of the original. The recommendation to go with an Ingeneur is probably good advice. Realize that the white dial version is a phantom so if you want the most faithful rep to the gen, go with the black dial. I own the white dial and like the watch very much. Paraphrazing someone on the board, I have a greater likelihood of winning the powerball than encountering an IWC expert.

Thnx N http://www.pc-80108.com/iw10043-spitfire-c...nos-p-2142.html Good choice I've got a 3706 which is a great little chronograph, The dial should have white rings around the chrono sub dials but appart from that its pretty close. Not sure if there are supposed to be rings on that one. Doubt anybody could tell. I've just sent mine off to k2222 for some good old Polish AR. go for it.

magagne Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I've just sent mine off to k2222 for some good old Polish AR. go for it. ST4 With AR coating, this little pilot will be awsome... I like the subdial contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 The Ingy would be my choice, also not that the watch you linked to is using the older 7750 @ 21600 BPH but would be a better option if you want ed to swap to an ETA 7750 movement, but still i would go for the ingy unless you realy have to have a chrono, have a look in my signature to see hoe good the ingy can be.

Toadtorrent Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 The Spitfire's can be very good I thought. The caseback is off on the 3717-02/05, but other than that...pretty darned close. Only a WIS would notice things like hand length being off by <1mm, or running seconds hand being the same size as the other subdials.

takashi Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Again, the Spitfire falls short on the dial. You can't go wrong with 3717, Ingenieur, Slevin or Cousteau Divers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
