Recommended Posts

This was posted yesterday in Hont's section on RWI:

 

http://www.replica-w...ono-100671.html

 

 

I have been wanting this watch for some time, so I ordered the 2006 version.

Basically $336 for A7750 and Hont has been great to deal with.

 

Also available 2007 and 2008 versions.

 

Just wanted to let you guys know.

 

I can't wait to add an IWC to my collection.

 

Picture of the gen:

Since Slevin is out, this is great sub. I think Toro also has it and its "superlumed"

 

 

Please do post pics when you get it :)

 

Anyone know the diff with 07 and 08 versions:? date color?

yes, 2007 and 2008 have different colors on the dial.

One year has orange and the other has blue and yellow.

Close but still not the Slevin - may just order a 2006 like Jeff. Interesting that the Asian 7750 version and the Swiss 7750 are $600 different!!!

 

Here is my gen Slevin for which I am looking for a back-up rep.

Nice one... pricey, but nice.

 

I like version with the piece of wood from his ship on the case back, I wish more watches had details that unique.

I used to have a asian 21j movement version which was a nice watch that I sold on.... great watch, regretted letting it go really

I actually like the 2008 version out of these 3...

Slevin is too small, and has no day/date. 2006 is the best watch ever.

Well ladies and gents, the watch arrived today.

I love it.

The mailman handed the package to me, and it looked like this:

I was expecting the worst, even asked if it was sat on or something.

But, all was well:

You are one lucky man Jeff, from the looks of the package, the watch could be in 100 pieces :D Or at least DOA...

 

Great looking watch, all we need now is a wristie. If you didn't knew, if you don't post wristie, when you get new watch, we are obligated to post this emoticon:

 

:ttiwwop:

 

And if it has some cute dogs in the background, even better :lol:
