Mike777 80 Posted April 18, 2013 Anybody know where I can get this version of the Miramar? I have searched all TD's with no luck. http://www.lelong.com.my/schaffhausen-top-gun-miramar-chrono-stopwatch-kevlar-strap-goldenwatches-125889403-2013-03-Std-P.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ticktickboom 0 Posted April 23, 2013 Would love to see that Miramar repped to a good standard, was staring at some gens in a window today and they looked fantastic. Would be a nice casual wearer as well with some combats and a t-shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ticktickboom 0 Posted April 27, 2013 Indecently you could always grab a homage Parnis Pi100 to quash your needs... http://www.ebay.com/itm/PARNIS-Pi100-PVD-48MM-TO-CROWN-GREEN-DIAL-TOP-GUN-PILOT-QUARTZ-CHRONO-WATCH-/370626609936 Looking at both versions of the Miramar the IW501902 on left and IW388002 on right. Would it be safe to assume the more likely to be repped would be the 46mm IW388002 given the fact the 7750 movement is already being used on the other other Top Gun models with date at 3:00? A TD recently told me a factory should be working on this by now, if so do you think they will simply use the 44mm case already being used for the other Top Gun reps and change the colour of the face etc? not that 2mm makes a big difference, right?? Be nice to have an accurate version of the Miramar though as its such a nice piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedavidrush 0 Posted May 30, 2013 I would LOVE a 48mm version. This is the closest I have found... http://www.kuvarsit.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=32061 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mysterio 18 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) I would LOVE a 48mm version. This is the closest I have found... http://www.kuvarsit....roduct_id=32061 There is a closer rep, although of the 46mm one not the 48mm one. At least the datewheel is now black not white which bugged the heck out of me. I might just pull the trigger on this baby.

mysterio 18 Posted June 2, 2013 Talking about this ? http://www.azkronos....ian/iwc_279.htm That's the same as the watch on KW for 12$ less. Size is a bit smaller than the gen by 2mm (46 vs 48). Pity about the PR subdial, same as the Big Pilot. It works but the position is wrong and there's that DAYSI flaw. That and the datewheel is white instead of black.

gnollman 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Silix has one on their website; says it's 44?...$94 http://www.silix-prime.so/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_261&products_id=5326 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mysterio 18 Posted July 16, 2013 That is probably different from the one in Kuvarsit's website. Dial print quality is not the same. And the case is shiny, not matte like the one on KW's website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pratt 0 Posted March 16, 2015 no good rep for this piece so far. wrong size 44mm instead of 46mm wrong dial black color instead of grey wrong case pvd instead of ceramic black wrong date plate in white instead of black wrong movement quartz instead of auto Who knows where to get a closer one? This is GEN : for comparison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted March 16, 2015 Reg sold me the Quartz Microstepper, and it's very pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyMo 2 Posted March 16, 2015 Reg sold me the Quartz Microstepper, and it's very pretty. I got this watch from Reg also, awhile ago, it was one of my favorites, unfortunately the stem is stuck and you cant screw it back down without changing the time. Not sure for the cost its worth getting fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pratt 0 Posted March 17, 2015 Reg sold me the Quartz Microstepper, and it's very pretty. just hope there will be an updated case and dial for this watch.. i got one of this as well .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machiavegli 6 Posted March 17, 2015 The Quartz microstepper rep is solid, fantastic quality for the price. I bought mine from Kuvarsit. There are two, date at 3'oclock (same as the Reg one pictured above) and the date at 6 o'clock version which is less accurate with wrong date wheel color (black type on white). BTW the V2 rep is the correct gunmetal color case. Just the V1 was black case (I owned that too). -Mach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

higginsd 0 Posted March 17, 2015 Correct. This watch (gen) has a polished, black ceramic case. And no "gunmetal". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pratt 0 Posted March 18, 2015 Correct. This watch (gen) has a polished, black ceramic case. And no "gunmetal". yup its polished .. i have some pics of it. but the V2 just doesnt come close. Any confirmation.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
higginsd 0 Posted March 18, 2015 No, even the V2 doesn't come close. The gen case is very... "special". You'll understand after you tried one at an AD. The only chance to get this correct is the BigPilot Miramar with the ceramic case - if you find a method to polish a ceramic case or a PVDed one. After getting the case correct you need a gen dial because the color of both watches (Chrono or BP) is complete off. After all this is no good rep. And that's a shame because this watch is very beautiful and has some long back reaching roots to the WWII pilots of IWC. The dial is like the Beobachter-B watches, the case is brilliant and the watch is extreme light-weighted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
