boneyjr 1 Posted February 25, 2013 I picked this up recently, and I am very pleased with the purchase. At 46mm, It has a solid presence but isn't too overwhelming on the wrist. It wasn't long after this that I made purchase of a Vac 3717. Can't wait for that to arrive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneyjr 1 Posted February 25, 2013 Is it fake PR model? yes.. this is the faux PR. I really didn't see a working PR as being crucial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted February 25, 2013 Each on it's own, mate. Watch looks very, very good, indeed! But for me - fake PR is a deal breaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree - I remember when I bought a rep from a crappy dealer once - he told me all the dials were functional, but turns out one of them wasn't. Needless to say, I barely wear it...

Lmao! haha... well in any event, I am not worried about the PR. Because it was my first IWC, I wanted this as a starter watch, and I am very pleased indeed. Besides, I have a fully modded Vac 3717 on its way any day now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heisenberg 0 Posted February 25, 2013 Aren't the faux PR models more accurate looking? I am waiting for QC pics for same model. I looked at all options and this seemed best to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkGlass 83 Posted February 25, 2013 In my very limited exp of having both; the faux PR is a much better rep, mine came orgionally from WI and traded to Aston. The other....well let's just say it wasn't great. Yours mate looks super, I knew I should have kept mine ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted February 25, 2013 Yes, they are 2% more accurate, but dead subdial is no-no for me. But again - it's my personal opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted February 25, 2013 Doesn't the faux power reserve have movement without the button for the date progress on the side what is more accurate ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stunnaon 0 Posted February 25, 2013 Aren't the faux PR models more accurate looking? I am waiting for QC pics for same model. I looked at all options and this seemed best to me. I bought a IWC Portofino with a working power reserve dial. I noticed later on that the 12 and 6 markings were not at all accurate...BUT...i would still accept a few flaws rather than have a faux PR (I'm probably going to fix the markings on my own as soon as I find some time)...

Luthier 1 Posted February 25, 2013 Depend on the movement. If it's genuine Seagull - there is the button, and it's designed with power reserve module. If it's modified DG-2813 - I'd stay away from such a watch, doesn't matter, how good it looks. Here's mine with Seagull: PR subdial is in correct place, by the way.

A sunken DW is a killer for me. how many times the PR is not on full when on wrist ? I think all always wind the watch to max and rotor keeps them fully wind no ?
