Surprised no one else has posted this up yet. Looks like PT has a couple new releases...Ive been waiting to see a good 44mm Miramar rep for some time. Thoughts on this one?

Too bad for the sunken datewheel

For some reason I don't like these models. Unlike most people I am a fan of the triple date of the previous models like an altimeter. Also the little hands in the 12 subdial on these newer ones look weird if not ugly.. like a midget clock.. I would also guess one of them will be frozen on these..

Top subdial is wrong. Gen is sunken on the inner circle subdial while rep is embossed

The graininess of the olive dial looks too course compared to gen (based on internet pics), and the red circle looks 1) too dark 2) not embossed enough

The "new" running seconds @6 7750's ZF has developed are insane. I am wearing a ZF 3714 V3 on my wrist right now and the finish and precision of manufacturing of their 7750's is unlike anything we've had before. That being said, it is running +1 sec over the past 7 days. I has been adjusted over a year ago. My watch may be an exception, but this is beyond gen standards lol.
I wish ZF could find a better strap manufacturer though...

despite some minor flaws, i may pull the trigger on one of these.

V1 rep's are always not 100% anyways people

Be curious if you do. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the green one just to add variety to my collection.
 

bwoah!

Just received this from Intime. As others mentioned earlier it's not 100% accurate (Embossed inner dial at 12, should be sunken). The band is stiff and the clamp is not the easiest to close. Looking to replace the band with a Gen or other option. Considered an Alpina StarTimer or a Damasko DC56 (Not easy to find these days). But Iiked the looks of this IWC and for $400+ I'm happy for now. Other two mentioned maybe an option down the road if I can get a deal on them.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Looks like ZF improved on the strap compared to their previous 3880-01, which I have, and tossed its strap immediately. Chrono minute and hour counter work well?

Feel free to correct me gents, but I had assumed the 12oclock subdial was supposed to have sunken center as per gen. But as I googled "IWC389001" and went straight to pics , I'm seeing gen websites listing gen sales of this model with the "raised" subdial instead of sunken..could it possibly be a gen batch variation??

The minute counter at 6 sweeps, however, the hour at 12 I believe is faux, as it doesn't move. After wearing for a while I find the band fine. Movement is loud but has been keeping good time from what I see.
