Hi everyone. My brother wants to sell all his reps. They have been in a box for some time, and he bought most of them before the rwi crash. So I'm helping him checking the watches on the value.
This big pilot almost certainly has a gen dial and hands but looking for confirmation.

Who can say or help indentify version and gen hands and dial?

This is an IWC 5002.

The dial is possibly gen because the "DAYSI" flaw is not there.

Ok, good start. Dial gen almost certainly. What about the hands?

Gen 5002 hans for comparison. The PR hands looks different imho. Hour / Minute hands look very good, but I can’t tell by 100 % if they are gen.

The pr hand has a little flake in the lume.
But could still be gen.
Also made a movement shot. I don't recognize the movement.

This is the old movement without working power reserve, standard for rep 5002.

Without a gen dial proof the watch is worth 150-180€, sorry to say.

The dial can be proofed by showing the back side of it, because the gen watch has the dial mounting stems at another position than the rep. So there should be marks of the gen stem positions and the new stems should be soldered to their positions.

A watchmaker should open the watch and take a picture of the dial backside. Otherwise it's nearly impossible to proof, only by side to side inspection with a gen watch.

Well even if the hands are slightly different to the gen it looks stunningly authentic in general!
