Still hart to tell from this pic.

Could be dirt or a flake chipped out of dial.

If it's dirt you can open this watch easily and remove mov't and dial for cleaning.

Yes it is. But I figured out there is magnifying glass app for phones. Technology is great.
I do think it's clear film of some sort stuck and won't move. What I was hoping for is to know if the subdial is easily scratchable for those of you who is skilled enough to open and clean their own watches.

clear film will not scratch the dial

so if it's not touching the second hand there will be only an optical prob.

if this bothers you ask your watch smith to remove it.

From my experience if it is dirt it wouldn't move easy. You would really need to shake the watch correctly like you would drop it on floor but I would not recommend this to anyone.

This is something from the Dial. Please take a close look at the Dial all the way at the edge. I'll bet you there is something missing there. It's like a clear coat of paint, that "cracks" of, and get stuck on the Crystal. I have the same problem with my watch.

The Dial on these IWC's are wery bad, when it comes to the "paint-job".

I found a Crack of clear coat paint from the 9 o'clock dial and the pattern of Crack matches this anomaly stuck in my subdial and bothering the sh*t out of me. At least I know what it is now. Lol

first picture looks good:


but a closer look at the 6 marker: blue color peeled off the marker. I wonder where the fuk it went, nowhere to see on the dial.



It seems it just disappeared....into rep heaven.
Anybody has the same problem ?

 

[Hyjynx]

Maybe that's how it's always been, but you didn't notice until now. Maybe the QC photos will be helpful?

 

[karen36]

Is there blue color peeled off or is it just insufficient flame blued?

It was all blue when it arrived, I'm 100% sure.

 

[krissk]

Is it just the light or you have same problem at 5 o'clock just at the corner and 2 o'clock?

Making me unsure to order 500705. How much would it be to have a gen dial installed?

I just recently ordered from Watch Station (watch-station.co) the "IWC Portuguese Real PR RG IW500115 ZF 1:1 Best Edition Black Dial on Black Leather Strap A52010 V2". It's the 7-day IWC Portuguese rosegold. with a black face. Havent been able to find anything on this watch specifically. Any ideas of how this stacks up against the genuine? The dial, movement and strap? I've also read on the forums that it's usually best to stay away from rose gold rep's - that they look fake. Is this true?

Are there any modifications anyone would recommend once I get it?

And finally, which reps have the best version of this?


My apologies if these questions have already been asked somewhere else on the forum.

Thanks

Apologies accepted, but will not absolve you of searching for the answers yourself. Luckily, you can find most of them in this and a few other threads. Reading is (fun)damental on this forum. [emoji6]

Can anyone confirm that this is the V2? I am not knowledgeable in the IWC clones.

Thanks!
