There seems to be some 'variation' in the font on the gens as well. Here is another - the difference is so small it would probably be hard to notice on the wrist. Off the wrist one look at the movement says it's not gen so... :)

Cant ant wait to get mine back from being serviced (movement was flawless but I'm trying to make sure it'll last as long as possible)

Thanks for your reply. Lol i guess if the gen varies i can't really blame zf. For me i wasnt as concerned as not being able to pass it off as gen, bec like u said if someone takes a look at the movement they will see its not gen. I was just confused/concerned it wasnt a zf and it was actually a ylf (which i dont want) since i had never seen a zf with this font in any of its versions.

Haha yes looks like their DW supplier gets things messed up too :p

No fear not mine is a ZF too and it has the 'updated' font.

I think the font is fine... You can research 5007 on web chrono24.. It looks almost same as ZF one

Yours has the bolder font as well? Can you please post a pic?


I'll take some clearer pictures when mine comes back from service from ado213.

For the record apparently mine is clean and well lubricated already according to him and doesn't really need a service, must be the only one! Getting it serviced anyway. Apparently the Miyota watch I sent with it is gummed up and was in need of one so you can't make any guarantees in this game even with "reliable" movements.

Quick question for you guys with a 5001/7 - if anyone has an extra dark brown vietnamese croc strap and are willing to part ways with it, please PM me. I have a 5007 Laureus coming in for a friend and i am trying to get one without the wait. If anyone can help, please let me know. Thanks guys. (Sorry for posting this in multiple locations, but figured i would get this out to as many 5007 fans as possible. Thanks again.

[MENTION=52234]Ruski91[/MENTION] Do you know 5001 and 5007 strap are slightly different? 5007 is curved and lug holes are closer to case, 5001 use straight bar and lug holes are further from case.

Yes i understand - i guess mine would be straight as its the V2. Here is a approved QC picture of the watch i am getting. I believe i would need a straight strap.

Why is the iwc Portuguese Real PR RG IW500702 ZF 1:1 Best Edition On Brown Leather Strap A52010 V2 is 10$ more than V3 version on Ryan and Ken website ? I saw all the RG PR models the V2 is 10 usd more than V3. What's the difference.

Different dealers = different prices! Buy a dealer first, then the watch!
