Amazing, This looks promising. No other issues, flaws or anything to worry about?
It feels good to know that I have the middle and the one to the right of that on order

Personally so far nothing I can report. Let's see tomorrow after 48 hours how they look!

With two such nice watches, you certainly need to invest in two quality straps. It will complete your purchases in the best way.
You got them all !??So here's my watches 24 hours after setting them all to the same time and all with fully wound Power Reserve. Don't forget this is just gone 10pm so all the dates are starting to move, they are normally perfectly aligned - don't be misled by how they look in the photo!
So far all 5 running sweet. And all showing the same amount of Power Reserve remaining. [emoji106]

Quite a noticeable difference from Rep sub dials @3-9 to Gen
Hopefully you can see from these 2 pics
S???R?I????? :sharrkey:
Looks like the gen subdials don't have concentric rings so don't contrast against the dial - is that the biggest difference Sharrkey?

Top one is gen dial, right? That's the better looking one, if you ask me. [emoji6]
Come for the watches, stay for the drama! [emoji12]
Lower one.
The concentric rings on the gen sub dials are finer and therefore reflect less light, this gives the dial a more even look but a small amount of contrast between the sub dials and main dial face.
Ok. Another silly question:
How do you wind this movement? I just got my Laureus but I can't get it to wind like a normal watch. The crown won't turn 360 degrees. Seems the only way to wind and make the PR needle move up is to crank the crown in a forward and backward motion. Is that correct or did I get a dud? [emoji15]

It seems the contrast with the sub dials is more evident with other dial colours. Looking at pics of the Ardoise gen the rep does look much closer to that. Maybe because the Ardoise has the anodised radial sunburst effect that the Black dial doesn't have.

Cibbe may i ask where you bought the straps from?
A few members bought samtoni straps, which is incredibly high in quality but the price is too much for me. Where did you get yours from?
I bought mine from VNHandcraft on Ebay.
So far I have absolutely No idea about the quality but from what I have seen here and considering the price is about US$ 35 it just cannot be wrong for a crock strap.
The only reason for me as a gen IWC owner is the sharp edge (red, below) of the rep clasp. Other then that the rep one is good. Specially as the 5001 uses the old styled clasp.
