I don't have the hall marks on my st/st version and haven't seen others with it. I hope they put a hall mark on the white gold ardoise version, that would be a bit plus.

This is the guy that's like $40 on EBay right ?Just fitted my Vietnamese croc strap. I know the light honey leather won't be to everyone's taste, but I absolutely love it.
Will be getting a black version of the same thing for more formal occasions.

Gold plated on the case & buckle. If accidentally scratches it does the gold plated comes off? Sorry I don't own a gold plated watch so I came to ask this stupid question. Forgive my stupidity.
Depends on micron of the plating. It will likely wear off over time. But plating back is possible provided you need to remove everything from casing, plate it and assemble back.

I think the movement will be gone first before the plating. Afterall these movements are not easily replaceable or serviceable like the eta clones

Blake at Scottwatch is a great guy. Have bought some parts from him. I think he's the only good source for gen IWC parts nowadays.
Anyway, that Laureus is tantalizing. [emoji7]

Yip that's the one. Best $40 strap I've ever bought.
I will be getting a black version from him too. (As soon as I get hold of him because I think RWI have been keeping him very busy recently!!)

I think the white dial with blue hands one is the most beautiful, but i dont know how accurate the blue color is and also black dial one matches both casual and dressy wear.
I will find that out in a couple of days and compare the white face/blue steeled hands with my gen and let u guys know if its any good.

I've been looking for 1:1 dress watch since ever (as the most of us I guess), and now I can't decide between this 5007 black dial, the 5001 ardoise dial (let's say the most incorrect, as for the engravings etc) and the newes JF AP 15400. The IWC maybe it's more classy?
I tried to read all the previous 133 pages but I still can't understand if the 5007 black dial is the one with less flaws among the three i mentioned. Ok, I know that everyone has a certain level of flaws that could accept, but I'd like to know if and how easier it is spottable as a fake, out of the box.
For sure, it will need a new crystal A/R, a decent strap and a gen crown. And, apart from these things, I saw that the gen 5007 has a different deployante buckle. The zf one seems to have the old 5001 fitted, am I wrong?

You are correct, basically i don't think it should be 5007 at all. It should be 5001 instead because of the Font, case and clasp. Also the strap is not curved therefore more closer to 5001, still don't know why TD called them 5007.
