lanikai Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Just a preview .. there will be a "Team Review" with macro's,.. commentary.. and a genuine BP 5004.. (not taken from the net) for this and other reasons the full review may be listed in the "Supporters" section. You may be thinking this a ploy to get members to upgrade... which should be done regardless ... but the reason is that a lot of our pics have been ending up all over the internet.. if this were a genuine site it would be a different story.. and I am not referring to members whom graciously "ask" if it would be OK .. to use the images in their forums back home.. all over the globe.. that does say a lot about the tech info that people gather from RWG.. but for secutiy reasons.. it will be discussed with the rest of the members that are putting the review together.. But here are 2 pics for ya !! Thanks for viewing.. Aloha~Cheers Lani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 awesome lani. looking forward to the review! i plan on pulling the trigger on this next week. have a great weekend bro. thanks Wheat !! you will be very happy wth the 5004 now that they have the correct hands ... I put my OEM spec hktan on it .. brown buffalo.. (not the distressed one) but I think this will look the best in the black gator.. that was supposed to be deliverd over a month ago.,. but Aaron had a family emergency and has been absent.. he is returning this week so .. no worries .. the black alligator .. mmmm can't wait .. I sent a BP crystal to chief and it should be home this month.. IMO the 5002 looks good with the strong blue hue.. this will look awesome with chiefs AR the dial is darker on the 5004 (I think the genuine has more brown tint in the black) .. the 5002 has more grey in the black.. so chiefs will be awesome on the 5004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 OK.. the hktan OEM brown buffalo strap is looking better and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Looks good Lani, but long sleeves? Must be a cold snap there at the beach this weekend. Thanks.. and I was wondering how long it would take for someone to ask.. although there is a nice cool North wind all I had on was the "sleeve" not the whole sweater .. call it a "prop" for the pic Aloha~Cheers L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the lookout forever on a deal on a gen, but this looks REALLY good! A chief AR and a ziggy superlume and you're good...now I'm really regretting selling my OEM Black gator last month that's all it needs .. chief and ziggy C-3 and Aarons strap !!

TK471 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 If this is the same watch that's on Josh's site, I'm amazed. Your pics make it look like an entirely different watch. And for 198... uh, no brainer. Looking forward to the more detailed review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 @lanikai the lume should be C1 or C3 ? I love it.....will get one soon Hey Vac I was thinking about that.. my hunch would be C3 but the review will feature a genuine article.. so you can judge for yourself.. TK471 Posted Today, 03:00 AM If this is the same watch that's on Josh's site, I'm amazed. Your pics make it look like an entirely different watch. And for 198... uh, no brainer. Looking forward to the more detailed review. Yes, this is from Joshua Remember the Maker does the photo shoot and always over saturtes his image's in fact I have to take some saturation out (of my pics) since the digital really enhances the image ... it is more realistic to do that then "add" saturation imo ... it gives a false colour..

lanikai Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Cool, can't wait for the review!! Thanks, vac Member from EU will recieve his 5004 probably on Monday ... he is an avid IWC member.. in fact ,.. I don't know if he really goes outside IWC ... so needless to say he is versed in the IWC Brand.. I just recieved the pics of the genuine from a member.. we will keep him anonymous .. he is in everyway a Gentleman .... and I'm sure you will enjoy the pics of his Genuine 5004 it is the concensus of the authors that the review be posted in the supporters section only... we all feel that when others "ask' permission to use images .. where ever.. its not a problem.. but not all people follow the proper guidelines.. and we end up all over the place.. good for notiriety.. but we don't need it with this hobby outside of our community. There will be 3 of us involved.. hope we can bring you all a better view of the BP 5004 Aloha L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
