porschespeedster 19 Posted November 2, 2017 That's a nice one, man. The blue looks dark and more gen-like than it used to...if you go in the IWC dealers you can see the gens have a very dark tone to the bluing. They seemed to have fixed the problems with the chronos at 12 and 6 now as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbeard88 0 Posted November 3, 2017 I really am impressed by the overall quality of this watch, I do feel a new strap is needed, this strap doesn' match quality of the watch itself. The chrono resets perfectly, and I'll never use it, but does function flawlessly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redbeard88 0 Posted November 5, 2017 I am so impressed with this watch, I wore it to go grocery shopping and to have lunch yesterday total time 3 hours or less, I didn't hand wind it just swirled it set the time and on I went, got home around 230 yesterday took the watch off set it on the counter it hasn't moved since and is still going strong 24 hours later, very happy with this movement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
