what strap is that?

I nicked this croc off my FA Jones, but I've got a correct length one for the 5007 iwc deployant coming this week from Orloff, same croc strap, here's a photo he sent me when it was completed (holes not punched yet)

Refreshing mail every 5 minutes waiting for QC pics. [emoji51]

My QC pics finally came and I was about to say yes...but is it me or the "1" at 12 is really slanted? Or is it just the lighting?

Other than that I'm actually quite satisfied with this piece..


Imagination beyond imagination

The "1" in 12 does look slightly slanted to me

the font used on the back on the rotor still looks wrong. i believe they need to be in "BOLD".

Am I wrong or do they have just used the wrong clasp for this??

Gen:

They use clasp of 5001, not 5007

 

[rhc22]

They use clasp of 5001, not 5007

Thats because it is a rep of the 5001

 

[aligborat69]

They use clasp of 5001, not 5007

Hopefully they rep the new clasp, I imagine the gen one must be $400+

 

[elconquistador]

My QC pics are in

Now the wait.

Why? The rep model is correct according to the Gen

Because the factories are pushing these out as 5007 models but have 5001 clasps, but doesn't bother me much, but having the latest clasp design would be nice too

Gonna love it

My QC pics are in

Now the wait.

That and a Zenith type 20 on the way. Will be a long week.

 

[sharrkey]

Tell me about it, I've just bought a Gen dial and waiting on the Croc strap to arrive, plus I've a Pam 438 arriving tomorrow :cry2: Think it will be getting flipped:yawn:

The factories are calling it the 5007 but it is a rep of the 5001. From what I have seen the rep was copied from a gen 5001. I don't know if the case differs between the 5001 and 5007. The 5007 has a new movement but that matters little to us as the rep would never pass as gen to anyone who knows.
The way you can tell a 5007 from a 5001 is the schaffhaussen lettering below the IWC. On the 5007 it is small and the 5001 noticably bigger. Just search on google for both models and it is obvious.

What I'm saying in a long winded way is that the rep is a very good copy of the 5001. The fact they are listing it as a 5007 is incorrect.
