Guest nikos1978 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 i think that is out iwc ceramic but i can not understand if it will be version of 46mm or version of 44mm http://etayahonpo.jp/?pid=11675595 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 i think it mentioned 46 on the site, but i am sure this ought to be the 44 version in absence of the double chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Nice find nikos1978! It's probably 44mm, just a typo I hope Although it looks like they still can't place the hour markers straight, the 12 triangle and 9 marker are wonky We should hear more about this watch after CNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 yep crooked markers as per usual.. rep apparently: gen: the AR looks descent, but the DW's would have to be changed obviously. The kevlar strap doesnt look too bad either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 couldnt get the rep pic bigger, sorry. but i do hope its a 44!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 On the plus side the date font looks good, but the alignment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 lol the alignment is a bit off, fixable though. Im just looking at the caseback, the wording and the pic are pretty accurate, only the caseback writing is written in the wrong position when compared to the gen. But something not to get anal about. The more I am looking at it, the more interested I get. I tried this on once at an AD. It did look good, but for the gen price I'd rather stick with the 3717. We shall see, If the reviews are good I might think about this one in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 If I end up buying one, it will be from a dealer with proper QC, like PreciousTime or EuroTimez. This is not a watch you should get from a drop ship dealer, pictures before delivery please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 over $500!!! wow, maybe it would be cool in 46mm, but i had the pvd version before, i dunno, IWC's are so plain to me. I love the photos, but, i have never tried one on that i would wear. Mostly tried on gens i've really tried to like them i really have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongkytonkman Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Looks like the ceramic ver. is out. w/ upgraded ceramic etc. Note : I have no relations to the regarding URL/dealer shown in the pics. Just a local dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 What a looker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 WOW, very nice....but I fear its no real ceramic??!! Anyway, with those recent price-tags I am no longer able to purchase as usual.....so I have to be 1000% clear that its the watch for my wrist (just like the BlackSteel). Lets wait and see....

Shundi Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Damn lume markers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Woow, judging by these pictures they finally got this right, including case texture and TG logo on the side. Can't wait for first hands-on reviews :wub: This year started great, I predict my bank account will get hurt badly after CNY regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Honpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well, that is ~US$650. Since All ceramic HBBs are still north of 700, price like this is quite probable. After all, I think that this construction (if it IS real ceramic) is much more complicated than HBB. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 That is way too much, ceramic is not an expensive material, and there are other full ceramic watches for $200-300 or so.... Looks liike more wonky hour markers too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Anyway...we can not be sure that a Honpo-offer will hit the stores of our dealers??!! Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I heard there was a new ceramic IWC on the way before CNY. I inquired with a dealer about the previous ceramic IWC watch, and was told it would be best for me to wait for the new "ultimate" version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Seems we have the same dealer....mailed him some hours ago and got speedy response to save my dollras and wait for ultimate version coming early March....so I will wait!

chrgod Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 "This is Ghost Rider, requesting a fly by.." Think I will pass this one.. Even though I am a Top Gun fan, this is a bit over the top. Besides, I think this is the watch Tom Cruise had in the movie.

MADRED7 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I will wait for the IWC TopGun ceramic....its very nice and looks very accurate.....and to be honest I am sooo into the black watches at the moment..... Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
