It seems that the genuine has a polished case and the replica a brushed case. so it is not 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm not familiar with the rep, but the gen is really nice as you say for sure. IWC rose gold is a bit like UN rose gold in that it is a little more yellow/green than red/pink though and it is important to take not of the color of the gen gold. Some people prefer rose gold that isn't quite so pink and some don't. By contrast, both Hublot and Rolex rose gold is quite red/pink. In my experience all rep rose gold I have seen is usually either too red in general or otherwise not brand specific color wise - not that we would expect the rep process to be varied for each watch, but I just wanted to point that out as sometimes the pics don't do them justice and they can be disappointing in person in some cases.

vikkyrob Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 This is mine. It has the Lello DW and Chief double AR and looks stunning. It is slightly off the gen but actually the rep is far nicer, brushed RG. The other thing is IWC sell most of the rose gold 3717s with a red second hand at 9 but apparently they did a limited edition with the same as the rep I have. Can anyone confirm the truth?

RobbieG Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yeah, the gold color looks pretty true on that one I must say. A liitle more on the yellow side just like the gen. Only the pushers are a bit red but not so much as you would notice on the wrist... This is mine. It has the Lello DW and Chief double AR and looks stunning.
