IWC 5035 Annual Calendar Comparison, teardown and Review

[Patsanchik]

Look at this post: https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...ual-calendar-on-puretime.376394/#post-3425920

That was one wonky specimen. Take another look at the opening post of this thread. You'll notice the 2 looks nothing like that.

Good to know there is progress. Now they just need to take care of the remaining flaws.

guys,

sunken date windows are always a problem and never nice to have! it something that is obvious to tell as a replica. now you will have 3 sunken windows:
date, day, month
see pics, all sunken. i think this will be a no-go for me for this watch, sadly.

Great! May be in 5 years we will see reps with minute repeater

The Genuine has also sunken windows. The disc for date, month and day are not at the same level.

 

[Variatio Delectat]

OMG of course they are not at the same level. Simply impossible.

Sorry but it doesn't look that way. This seems to have all the flaws from the blue dial version.
Though I would definately buy either of these two versions over the 5035-02 as the subdials look better in that they are white and don't reflect the light as heavily as the blue dialed version did.

Thanks for sharing though Repworld

 

[Variatio Delectat]

If it's white, then it is wrong anyway. The dial of the gen is silver.

Hey guys

The 5035-01 and 5035-04 are up on dtime. No videos yet but high res pictures. There is also an SS with gold numerals which I believe is fantasy?

We know nothing about the 'Internation BR' flaw as they've strategically got the rotor blocking it in every picture! Anyways chances are good it's still there as nothing else seems to have been fixed (hour markers, subdial spacing, 'swiss tech', bold font).

Anyways, quick comparison of gen vs rep. Is the dial smaller on the rep? Looking at the spacing between rails and edge

According to Francis (Puretime) no improvements have been made, so each and every flaw is still present.

Thanks for the links, however dtime is not a TD.
