js4tda Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I am totally amazed at how close the dial faces are to gen held them up to the last Cigar Afficianado good life segment article very accurate. I pulled the trigger a little to early like one day early on the Blue with Josh but the very next day EL has the engraved movement and I went for the Black. Both are very fine reps and I am very happy with them. Especially the engraved version Black with the serial number being 117/500. Anyone know where to get a gen croc strap for these IWC reps?

Chicken Manny Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have had Aaron/HKTan make two straps for the FA Jones. One croc and one spotted tree lizard. they both look BEAUTIFUL! It will take a little while to get them but very nice custom straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sye46 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I buy all my gen alligator straps here. the genesis II straps are beautiful! http://www.lonestarwatches.com/Alligator.htm Here are a few pics with my Gen 3714. The FA does feel a little too thin though... but its probably just me. I'll stop by my IWC AD and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Does anyone know if the OEM strap for the IWC FA JONES is matte finish or more glossy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkhill33 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 @sye46 - Very nice straps! Are those straps you have the genesis IIs? I thought they don't make them in 22mm. Or are they custom made? I have been eyeing them for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
