Looks like the factory has updated the engraving / hallmarks. My gold ones don't have the "IWC Au750" in the opposite side.

Interesting.
Thanks for the quick response. I saw someone else posted and instead if the letters IWC it has an IWC logo. Not sure which is accurate to gen.

No matter if this is true or not, a so-called 1:1 rep should of course have correct engravings.
Exactly. I understand that we are getting reps but if they are putting on engravings anyway, I'd prefer it to be a replica of the original, not a random engraving that the gen does not have.

On another note, I haven't ordered a Vietnam strap yet to have to compare to say Orloff, but I have one of his money clip wallets, here it is with my RG Ardoise

So that's the orloff strap on the watch?
I phoned 2 IWC dealers today. None of them have santoni straps in stock. :(

How long have you had this wallet already? Any good?
Was also thinking of getting them to custom make a croc belt until I received my straps...

Only a few weeks. Feels nice and it's so cheap, worth the money.

I have an Orloff belt, not croc, ask him too, he may do croc ones

Hi all, first time poster long time reader. I ordered an Ardoise ZF from a TD, and the QC pics came in today. I noticed that the "seventy hours" on the back is something like "thirty two" in my pic. Any one else have something similar/have more info? Will be asking the TD as well. I'm hoping that it's not an indicator of the power reserve!

EDIT: Answered my own question by looking at previous page (5-6 pages get added everyday!) It appears to be "thirty two jewels" and not hours. Cheers for noob mistake!

If the factory updated engravings on case, i wonder if they updated clasp as well.. It used to say stainless steel without correct gold hallmarks.. Did your td happen to send u a qc pic of clasp?
