slask111 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Heya all, A couple of months ago a got this item as a gift. It was a 100$ item bought on the streets off Thailand. I cant find it at our dealers and im curious what cinda rep it is. Maybe you know? I know its not 1:1 etc etc just curious about the model. Its 41mm in diameter and weight is 67grams. Are all IWC reps this light in weight? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 It looks like a replica that has been loosely based on the Portuguese 5001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 My goodness... This is a piece of crap!!! Such rep is cheap and very very far off from genuine article. Yes, it's loosely based from Portugieser 7 days. 100 USD is too much money. This one costs you about 30 bucks. No, not all IWC reps are light. I would suggest getting Cousteau Divers or 3719 Aquatimer on bracelet (or even IWC Ingenieur on bracelet). They weight about 200gram on bracelet.

slask111 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) The Portuguese seems to be the closest match. Its a shame that it seems to be a fantasy watch, i actually like the design overall. Mmm the Aquatimer is on my list. really nice. And the Pilot. Ok so no more wrist time for this.. at least not at work *g Thank you for your time and help Edited September 7, 2008 by slask111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 This one is a better rep in terms of closeness to gen. But beware, it has Asian 7750 second at 6 which is proven to be a problematic movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Nope, that is a Portugieser Chronograph. If you ask me, here is the pic of Portugieser 7 days: http://www.timezone.com/library/itsabouttime/itsabout0004 Scroll down for images.
