It's a beautiful watch. Thank you for sharing your pictures, Kennycoder.

InTime website says that size is 44x16.5 mm. Is it really 44 or 46 mm?

Mine is also on the way along with a gen strap.
I plan on doing a ZF vs V6F comparison when I get mine - I hope I will not be disappointed because it looks like aside from the dial the ZF is identical. Let's see if the dial is worth the upgrade.

Ok.. Here's mine.. On a gen strap..

The watch looks really nice and it has a strong wrist appearance..

Just two things

1)the rotor is noisy...
2)the AR is at least mediocre

It definitely needs some work on these "issues"

It really is.. :)

You will definitely need a new strap..

Please check the noise of the rotor and let us know if it's loud as mine

The ZF AR is very good - at least on mine the rotor is also very silent.
Thinking about it maybe I should just swap the dials, if that is possible, when I get the V6F..

Well.. It seems that I was a little bit unlucky with the rotor.. It keeps a great time (so far) but it needs some lubricate

There was some confusion with the size of these. Is the original 44 or 46mm? and is the rep true to gen in terms of size?

I didn't have the chance to measure it , but the gen is 46mm and the rep , according to Chazingtime, Puretime and Toro , is also 46mm

Got mine today. I love it. Sweep is smooth and the rotor is pretty quite for a 7750.

Also strap is quite good after you spend about 15mins bending and flexing it. I dont think I need a new strap its quite soft now. When you first open it though you will think its a piece of shit

Here you go bud. One of the nicest IWCs available IMHO. Dial is stunning in the day. Also I can confirm this is a 60min counter for the chrono if we already havent confirmed that.

Panasol, try to put a dab of mobius on the rotor see if that helps. Tiny tiny bit......like use a needle to do it.

Unfortunately , I don't have the skills nor the tools to do it....:(

and I don't want to cause any damage....so it's better to let a pro do it...
