Nice work...
Have you got some news about gen dials?
Wich kind of crown on this one? Probus or fish?

 

[playak47]

once again I love this watch. I cant get enough of it. WOW Can I buy this in installments?

 

[takashi]

The gen has both fish logo and Probus Scafusia crown. The latter comes in newer model. I would suggest paying attention to the alignment of the pusher and the crown. On the genuine, the crown is slightly higher up. The genuine is also slightly thinner than the rep. After modification with genuine movement, it looks closer to the genuine due to thinner bezel. However, this does not change the position of the crown. It gets so close to the genuine that I am pretty sure very few will notice this "flaw".

Hello,

Where did you get this one? Wanna get the same!!

 

[DenfromNM]

Stunning piece, I really like IWC's. You do fine work.

 

[zimba]

it's great

 

[jiddy]

You might have a good suggestion where to find a decent black gator strap for the Portuguese?
Mine is pretty ugly and just destroys the amazing watch :facepalm:

Would really like a nice IWC strap, but damn hard to find...

Cheers,

/Jidd

jiddy, I find this fella on TZ has very nice bands for the Porto or any other watch that needs a good Croc band. These are handmade and wear well.

i love come to this thread...makes my day everytime. Its really hard to hold myself back to buying this.

 

[jiddy]

Thanks jtiis will have a look.

 

[hanuman]

which dealer did you buy this from?

 

[wachuko]

Beautiful watch. Job well done.

 

[wachuko]

Concepta, can you share a breakdown of the mods and the cost associated?

Do you provide a turnkey solution? Or would I have to buy a rep and send it to you for the mods?

If I have to buy the rep first, any recommendations as to where to get it from?

I am trying to see what the budget to replicate this watch is and compare that to a second hand gen.

PM Sent to Concepta. This will be my next watch.
