Photo Review: IWC 5001 black dial v2, Prof Crystal, Gen Santoni Strap and Jacobstrap

Recommended Posts

Hi all;

 

I finally got around to photographing and reviewing this watch...

 

Here is the awesome 5001 by ZF factory v2, I sent the crystal to the Prof to apply his famous coat and the result is tremendous! Takes this already awesome watch to an astonishing new level of beauty!

 

I paired it with a gen Santoni chocolate strap and the combo is a perfect match. It dresses the watch down just enough so I can wear it every day in most settings. I also had Jacob from Spain make me one of his famous straps with curved ends and I use that when I need to dress the watch up. I use straight springbars with the curved ends and that makes the strap fit flush with the case, just like the newer 5007.

 

Overall, this is one of my favorite reps and it currently gets the most wrist time, I find myself many times throughout the day just staring at the beautiful dial!

 

Anyway, enjoy the photos!

That is absolutely stunning, it looks wonderful on the chocolate strap.

 

I have always favoured the white/gold dial, but yours makes me wonder?? (future purchase undecided)...........

My first purchase was the white/gold dial since like you I also favored it. I then saw the gen black dial at the IWC boutique and was blown away. So now I have both.

Where did you find the chocolate Santoni, if I may ask? I've never seen one in this color before.

I see, it's just the standard brown Santoni; there's a lot of variation in the color from strap to strap, just part of how they're made-- I thought there might be a "dark brown" color code or something.

 

Thanks for the response!

 

P.S., I'd put a deployant clasp on that Santoni if I were you-- save a little of the wear and tear that's inherent with using a pin buckle.

I love the look of the black dial with the chocolate strap!

 

How would you compare the Santoni with the Jacob strap in terms of comfort and cost-performance?
