bowtiefanatc 18 Posted May 31, 2013 It is very slightly domed. I just received mine and I absolutely love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mirage 0 Posted June 3, 2013 Gorgeaous Watch! Just received one from Tony: I was very surprised how smooth was the movement! For those wondering, the strap is from www.thewatchboys.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mappe 0 Posted June 3, 2013 Great buy! Just love the strap, great colour! Thinking about buying this watch. Is it to big to wear as a dress watch? One thing that I wonder about this watch is about the front glass, how is the front glass? When I have seen the geen it seems like the front glass is a bit elevated at the edges. How is the glass of the rep? If possible could you please take a picture of the edge of the front glass Many thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prancuzas 0 Posted June 4, 2013 Crystal is domed as per gen and goes really well with the whole set. Dont hesitate and buy this lovely timepiece And it does not wear too big as for a dress watch IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arancini 0 Posted June 4, 2013 That's a really sensational looking IWC. Been on my radar for a while now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mirage 0 Posted June 4, 2013 Btw is it a gator strap? Yes it is an alligator strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted June 4, 2013 The caseback is the only thing holding me back from buying this, as the blue sunburst-dial is just plain stunning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prancuzas 0 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Kleen , what's wrong with the case back? Edited June 4, 2013 by Prancuzas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yawn 122 Posted June 4, 2013 this is the few super rep i can pass with modding. stunning piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted June 4, 2013 Kleen , what's wrong with the case back? From an accuracy POV: Practically nothing, as it is extremely close to gen. From a design POV: Everything, as it is a hapless kids drawing on a 15K watch (being very close to gen:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phanto 0 Posted July 6, 2013 any updates on this? how does the Asian movement compare with the SW Also- how big is the watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iceman767 0 Posted January 22, 2014 what a sensational piece of watch - I still marvel at mine more than a year on after receiving it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghoststar 0 Posted February 1, 2014 It is a great watch, but there is a bit of a plasticky look to the polished portions of the steel bezel and the steel hour markers. As for the dome of the crystal, one of you mentioned that the gen had a "glow" to it. The rep certainly does not have any such glow. It almost looks like it doesn't even have any AR on it (although it does, a little). The one thing that bothers me most about this watch (and this, as far as I know, is something that is the same on the gen) is how low the holes are on the lugs so that the strap sits really low on the watch. This causes for a lot of the area between the lugs to be exposes, making the strap look like it is too thin for the watch, and making the watch proper look like it is sitting too high on the wrist. And yes, the watch is a bit high, so it is not really an ideal dress watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

webking185 9 Posted September 26, 2014 can anyone tell me the strap size for this watch? i was also looking at watchboys too for a new strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryaku 3 Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah..not bad at all, but I would have preferred a slimmer case easier to match with leather straps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
