Timepiece Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Just this weekend a watchmaker pointed me out an IWC Portuguese 7 days in SS with blue hands, numerals and matching croc. AAAHHHHH, I WANT THIS ONE. (It will probably make me sell my other Porto once I get my hands on a decent rep...) Well, let me show you what I mean by showing some gen eyecandy I found on watchprosite and compare them to some pics from Angus. Gen: Rep: Gen vs Rep: Comments I found by RWG members on the rep: SCOOBS1971: "For the money it's quiet nice, but it has a lot of small flaws. Wrong date font and it looks recessed. On the black version the DW should be black. On the white dial versions the silver subdials are wrong and should be in the same color as the dial. Also spacing is a bit off. The shape of the 2, 4 and 7 are off." GEO1NAH2A: "The crown reads "SCAFUIA" With such an open back (read: so distant from the gen), I wish they had made a better effort on the dial/crown. Markers are too big, the date placement is so obviously wrong, and the dials seem low quality. I really wish they made a better effort... " Some other coloured straps will do nicely too!!! Tobacco: Dark honey: (personaly I like that little Volvo touch...) Well, I will have to wait a little I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemore Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 THANX for inflaming the fever some more... BTW is that a rep strap and if so is that really 'night blue' or is it black? Timepiece, you are welcome. The strap is the rep strap that was shipped originally. Black, not bad at all, and with a very good deployant. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade007 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 its a very nice looking rep despite the obvious flaw on the caseback and other small flaws. I only wish they had put some more effort into the detail and getting the caseback correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black, not bad at all, and with a very good deployant. Cheers OK. I would really like to see it on a blue gator or (moo)croc though. I got a black gator (from globalwatchband) and that improved the look of the Porto immediately. Still need an IWC (rep) deployant for that strap, so good news that the 7 days rep one is OK!

Hi Timepiece, I have a new surprise for you. I've asked my father in love his Portu 7 days to take some pics, .... just to maintain your fever. THis grey dial looks very very nice, I would say nicer than mine in white. Hope you like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
