Corv99 2 Posted March 14, 2014 Phew!!! Bit of time in customs, causing arse to clench for a while, but finally here.. This was semi impulse, been after a pilot for a while, had very cheap one, in fact it was first one I bought after joining this board.. Ideally wanted dark grey dial, but not many around.. Been warming to these my ultimate would be the platinum version, but they were very limited run and not repped... I might as side project look to mod a rep dial, as main difference is raised markers but for me it transforms the watch.. Anyway onto this bad boy.. And it is a bad boy!! I've now blown recent funds from selling 5 watches and a load of straps buckles on 2 watches... If I'm honest I had to put a sizeable top up in there too! This is nice, it came from Malaysia , and was running when I unpacked it!!! Spec : Vac build Gen Dial fitted IWC gen strap Some ipad photos for now.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bighands 0 Posted March 14, 2014 Corv, that's really nice. Just received my 5002 a couple of days ago from Josh and its a pretty good rep on its own, but it could definitely use the gen dial upgrade. That gen strap is tempting too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That gen strap is tempting too. The Rep of this model is excellent mate.. And for me best upgrades are straps and bracelets for going gen.. Having said that aftermarkets on leather available for these are great too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
