Yes but not with me at the moment. Off it went for servicing in Switzerland [emoji6]
Ah well hopefully it will be back soon for some gen to rep comparisons. How do you find the thickness of it? Does it tend to wear bigger than the 42mm size suggests?

I sure hope so. How long do they usually take? It's the first time i sent it off.
It wears similar to 42mm Panerai and slightly bigger than 42mm AP ROO. But the lugs taper nicely to the contours of the wrist that basically only the dial shows. It's really comfortable to wear.
But gen croc strap is too expensive at over $800.

Found a photo i took while ago. Sorry about the poor quality photo



Damn son. Very nice. Hopefully the rep is well made. Stoked to see it. I've been torn on going with a gen IWC. I think I'd go gen on a pilot chrono though

Whatever you choose, you can't go with gen IWC ;-)

You can't go wrong with gen IWC. [emoji23] [emoji23]

Haha I was going to comment on that but assumed what you meant.

Do you think you'll get the black dial rep or try a different combo ?

Haha thanks for understanding. [emoji23]

I think i'll get black dial as a default. It's a must-have. Then add another color.

Just found out about this watch ... nicely done so far.

The white (with blue numbers) is the most common one, followed by the white dial with gold numbers ... and that will be my choice.

Can somone tell us about strap size? 22/18mm or 21/18 or 22/20???

Looks like a vast improvement so far! Black would be my first choice but based on the photos, the AR looks pretty weak plus the datewheel is the wrong color

Dr Theo - strap needs to be 22/18

I believe that was the first run model. Apparently the ZF version will have addressed those issues. Should see it in a month or so from what I've read.

Just got word we should expect ZF in 20 days to a month. Not sure if that was mentioned elsewhere but I figured I would confirm what I was just told.
