Yes the bezel is horrible, much too wide and not chamfered
it's too thick, the chamfer is quite a ways of from gen. on gen the bezel holes are almost the entire width of the top brushed surface of the bezel, with a bit of a border before the chamfer. on the GH there is a lot of space between the edge of the screw holes and the bezel.
There are some good aspects to this rep, but the bezel is just a dead giveaway. the IXDAO does this much better.

Honestly waiting for this to be released with the better bezel and attention to detail with the links, etc. Tired of the flood of PP, Rolex and APs flooding the market. Need some fresh brands and references. This would be an amazing and practical daily wear.

Being French, I don't mind at all.
Usually it's written in my language and now in yours, no problem.

The value for money is really incredible, I paid 248 euros for it,french too.

it's only a tiny flaw.
I wonder if the IWC rep dial would fit the movement/case of the IXDAO. If so, would probably not be a difficult swap. Hopefully the bracelet or at least the portion with IWC logo can be installed as well.
That would make things easier. Anybody know when this is anticipated to hit the TDs’ sites?

As others have mentioned, the IXDAO has nearly nailed many of the details of this model. I am not sure much more work it would be for a factory just to make a custom dial and branded bracelet. IXDAO also seems to possibly have the Pelagos 39 in a full titanium bracelet as well. If you can put up with the annoying branding, it definitely is a darn good deal. Are people going for the Chinese 2824 ETA clone (PT5000) or the SW or ETA from these Chinese brands?
The two models many people are waiting for, yet not being released.
