Cant decide which one to go for

[bob_b 0]

Hi all,

 

I've been looking at getting a rep for a while and have found a couple of nice IWC watches which I like but cant decide which one to go for. I slightly prefer the first one (the "REGULATOR") one but don't know how reliable the modified 6498 movement is?

If anyone had any experience of these reps your advice would be most welcome.

 

The only other watch that I like at the moment (in this price bracket) is

THe 6498 is a solid reliable movement - no worries there

I like number 2. I would be concerned about number 3 just because the tourbillion would not be functional and would be a dead giveaway that its a rep.

Ya having a non-functioning tourbillon is sort of weird.

 

Anyways why are these watches so expensive, look at it: http://www.jomashop.com/iwc-mens-watch-iw544401.html

I wonder what gives it a 9k price tag, nice watches though.

I actually tried on a Gen Vintage Portugese not long back and it was one beautiful watch which was only let down by the lack of date for me. However of the 3 that is defo the best. As for a
