Hi
I'm doing some research for my first IWC rep and short list as follows.
1) IW3777 (ZF factory): In fact, I’m not a fan of chrono watch but this one is listed in the consensus as NWBIG, so this is so interesting for a newbie like me. However I got info from several comments in this IWC sub forum and it seems that the QC of ZF factory remains unpredictable. There is another option from V6 factory (Version 2), which is cheaper too, but the questions are:
• Is 3777 from V6 (Version 2) as good as that from VF? Is there any cosmetic defect in 3777 V6 (Version 2) as per gen?
• 3777 from V6 (Version 2) is not listed as NWBIG. Is there any defect?
• How reliable is Asian 7750 movement? Some said that it will need service just after 1-2 year.
2) IW500901 Big Pilot (ZF factory): I like its big, simple, and clean dial, but again not sure about ZF factory quality control. Are there other options?
3) IW502003 (ZF factory), Boutique Rodeo Drive: Its shiny ceramic body is so gorgeous, but I never seen any discussion or review thread about this model.
4) IW500906 Big Pilot Father: Shinny silver dial looks so nice, but when comparing to its gen, unfortunately I think cosmetic flaw is too obvious since the gen silver dial is more shiny and reflective due to rhodium-plated.
Any feedbacks, comments or advice please?
