b16a2 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Its a nice looking watch, but the sub dial spacing is different from the gen. A search for '5001' in the IWC section should turn up all of the relevant threads that discuss this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Its the same watch...just different hand positions. From Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjg060468 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) Cheers for that. Just need to confirm that the spelling errors have been resolved Edited October 27, 2008 by mjg060468 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Cheers for that. Just need to confirm that the spelling errors have been resolved That...I don't know. Both dealers still have pics of the "RESEPVE" on the rotor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice watch with too many flaws... at least for me Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have heard that the spelling has now been resolved but i would be worth stipulating that the spelling WILL be correct if you order, also suffers from the noisy rotor syndrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjg060468 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice watch with too many flaws... at least for me Laz Andrew has just emailed me to say spelling still ahs a P in it, so unfortunately I won't be ordering from him.
