Jonnybaws 5,280 Posted August 27, 2015 Sit corrected.. Toro is advertising the Blue Dial version... hence the white back ground date wheel... But... the blue dial is a fantasy version?

Dr. Jimmy 29 Posted August 27, 2015 I'm no expert, but believe the blue is fantasy. AFAIK, the only blue dial gen is the Laureus which has different sub dials and closed case back. Experts please correct me if I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonnybaws 5,280 Posted August 27, 2015 Looks very promising! Thanks.. Don't know why the Factories never attempted to make Super-Reps of the "easier" to rep models... Next on the list I'd like to see a quality rep of the 5009... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted August 27, 2015 This, I v seen a real one at malaysia airport, i was inspecting the watch closely and cannot tell any differences between the real one and my rep. edges feel the same, sweeping hand, dials, general finish of the case etc, i m waiting for the gen strap arrive so I will have another super rep in my collecion. Oh now that is bloody beautiful! I have one of the first release MK-17s, the one that came out as Swiss ETA only and those who have seen it will tell you it's damn near perfect. Both the dial and case are works of art. Unfortunately there are not a lot of 'em about, they only ever made a couple of 1000 since the price was a rather steep $540 for a simple watch. Add close to 200 for a decent strap and it's a fairly big ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kennycoder 97 Posted September 14, 2015 From what I've read / heard, ZF is putting some serious effort into IWC models. They have bought 5 or 6 gens in the last half a year and the results are.. well take a look at the new IWC 5007. It's really well done, especially considering the limitations of the rep movements. I'm waiting for this Spitfire to be released so I can order both 5007 and the spitfire. Ah btw, the rumors about fixed secs@6 are getting me quite intrigued because it opens the door for the new Portuguese and Daytonas. Oh boy oh boy.. i really hope this becomes a reality.

Next on the list I'd like to see a quality rep of the 5009... the explanation i've heard is that if one factory makes a super rep of a 'basic' (read: inexpensive) watch, the other factories can easily rep their rep, further diluting the already miniscule margins. it's a business decision.
