I don't think the movement is made as a specific replica of an IWC movement. Just a base movement than can be used and adapted for various configurations. I believe the movement maker has made it 'like' an IWC movement but different enough to keep them ligitimate? You notice they have engraved 'Swiss Technology' not 'Swiss Made' a play on words. The Caliber number is also different. The rotor is obviously supplied from a different source hence the difference between the ZF and YL. As a movement maker I would think they are keeping clear of the direct 'fake' market. If you look at the first ever pictures of the movement it had a gold coloured IWC logo pressed into a hole near the balance wheel. All the images now don't have that logo just the hole. There is no reason to for them to engrave it differently unless they intended to. Anyway what would be the point in engraving it the same, if anyone knows what the engravings should be will see way before that it is not an 51010/51011.
With this movement I would suspect they can sell this ligitimately in the open market and this would be where they can make their money, not in the replica market.

Agee with you, I am sure that movement is modded from rep iwc tourbillon, and the tourbillon was modes from some Chinese tourbillon movement, you can't lie this, because the movement is just look same movement from rep iwc tourbillon. I don't know why the ZF boss here tell me I think too much.

Looks great! Date wheel seems spot on! What do you think of the gold hands & numeral in terms of color accuracy and a does it looks silver in certain angles? Please advice.
