If it's the one Sharrkey just sold then probably a gen strap as well. Awesome specimen non the less!!

It is Sharrkeys, in wearing it right now at a wedding.

It had the gen strap on it but is standard length and just a tad too short for me, so I have a custom black croc by Orloff on it now.

I will put the gen croc strap on the sales section soon!

I actually prefer the orloff, a little thicker than gen.

The dial is amazing.

BUT, should I try do some 2x AR on the glass... The dial will look even more WOW!

Thanks to Sharrkey for the work he had done on it. Does it class as a Franken then?

I would say so as the dial is a major part of the watch and apart from a gen movement is the most significant upgrade.

Domi did an amazing job on the dial.

Woohoo, my first Franken [emoji106]

I have a sunnydale crystal on a 3714 black dial and it is better than the 5001 rep crystal but not massively, colour is the same but the rep is very slightly more reflective. Sunnys AR is about as close to gen IWC as you can get. I have gen also for comparison.
I'm not too fussed about getting my 5001s done unless Sunnydale's arm can be twisted to do another run then I would!

I'll look him up, see if I might do my 5001's

[EdenResident]

Any chance for a rose gold version any time soon?

The rose gold has been available for a while. Which rose gold version do you mean?

 

[aligborat69]

Go back some pages, I've pasted lots of rose gold photos [emoji6]

amazing photos

 

[Ruski91]

Thanks guys! They were quick shots mostly unedited. I will do a proper photo shoot when the custom brown strap comes in. I promise

The blue panda one is so nice I am going to have to go gen. Now have to get someone on WUS to buy my gen GMTc.

How's the reliability of this movement?

VN crocs arrived today. Quality is pretty impressive. Not hard and stiff at all like the rep ones. Like other members have said, any strap is better than the rep one.

At the same time, my French crocs straps from titi arrived as well. They are better made than the VN's ones, stitches are done more properly, tiny bit firmer. They dont look much like 'Santoni' kind of style but do look very well made and beautiful.

Would totally recommend titistraps. Quality and customer service is top notch!
