Yes but i think the dail in real life will still be off with the gen.... (the chrono area)

Always the same problem with the subdials... So easy to fix, but the factories are stupid.

The problem I see with such a special version: it will be very hard to source a gen dial for frankening. Easy to source for the normal 3714 white dial.

I recently got hold on three gen dials of the 150 Years edition if anybody is in need.

I’m interested in this model the color scheme is very nice but does it wear small? The specifications say 41mm is there that much of a difference with the 44mm IWC
Before I take the plunge thanks

I got the dials from a gen watch dealer who must have access to an authorized IWC service center or to the gen dial supplier. I also got some of the blue dials of the 150 years edition which hasn’t been repped yet.

Can you share a pic?
Would it fit the A7750? I know that the sub-dials are not exactly in the same position, right?

Interesting. Also BP dials?

I've got 6.5ish inch wrists and the gen wears fine on me.

Having seen both sizes in person I find that there is a big difference but that may also be because going from 41 to 44 means going from just right to far too large.

IWC seems to have ADs everywhere - best bet if you're worried is just to give one a try

A requested a picture of the gen dials of the blue 150 years edition. The dials / hands position are 1:1 interchangeable with the normal IW3714 with the ETA7750 or A7750. (The movement layout of the IWC 69355 caliber used in the gen, although "developed in-house", is based on the Valjoux 7750 architecture).
I also got a Mark XVI dial. However, no gen BP dials available from my source.



Do anyone know, if ZF is also working on the IW3716-01 Progutgieser 150 Year blue dial?

Does anyone still have any of the gen dials for the white 3716?
