BP 5004 on new HK Tan Nubuck Gator

[TESLA760]

I've posted pics before of my Vac Modded 5004 on OEM Straps. I ordered a Nubuck Gator from HK Tan. Took a while to get here, but it's better than what I expected. You be the judge. :cheers:

That is beautiful. I know nothing about IWC's but the pics in this thread is getting me hooked.

 

[TESLA760]

That's how I got hooked.

Nice..I did the same thing... I ended up with one of them...

What's your take vs OEM?

 

[TESLA760]

Tough call. Both are great. But the HK is 1/3 of the price.

[DVNE]

Love the simplicity of the face and the classic big crown.

Yeah, I thought the same...the biggest problem with me was the rivets...There's just nothing like the gen rivets.

I sold the HK...(wait, I didn't sell it to you did I? haha!) anyway...I'm kinda obsessed with straps...IWC in general. I'm weird.

I like the gloss...I feel like my Gen BP is getting a little less glossy...it bothers me...ugh, i need help.

is the HKTan one purplish in color? can't really tell on my screen

 

[TESLA760]

No. Not purplish at all.

 

[evilmonk]

so what color is it? lol

 

[TESLA760]

It's Black. I've had a few Nubuck Gator straps, and none are deep dark solid black. They may take on a slight hue depending on what light they are in. But they are Black.

nice thanks for the info. poisoned by your pics and just might get one from HKTan myself.

It was supoposed to come with " Stealth " rivets. He sent it with regular ones. The Stealth rivets are darker and blend in with the Nubuck. I waited so long for it, that I have no intention of returning it. Just make sure you get a straight answer from him on how long it will take to receive. I personally don't mind waiting, but I don't like being lied to.
