Having the same dillema. Ardoise looks great, but I've noticed a visible flaw / date is not centered - it sits too high in the date window.

This is such a tough decision. What's the verdict on white/blue? Does the black one have the same "pop" or wow factor as the others?

Rhc22, you are absolutely correct in stating that if i was looking for a rep to be of the same quality as a 15k watch that would be missing the point of this hobby. All a was pointing out was that i noticed that the gold version had the medallions added (as opposed to the ss version) which is quite a small detail so i assumed the were trying to make this watch the next supper rep paying so much attention to even subtle details. And thats why i was confused as to why they wouldn't ad the correct wording on clasp (also a minor detail to fix, assuming its lazer engraved).. But you're right this rep game is more of a hobby then trying to fake out the world with a 400$ rep. i have many reps that have obviously flaws like the breitling b01 (recessed date wheel) noob sub v3 (wrong color bezel font) and i love them all:)

Congratulations to all who have bought this IWC rep. It is probably the most accurate replica in the last few months. It is a real sign of passion to want to Franken this watch, as it is so close to gen already. I would only want to replace the hands and the crown, if I hade one. But a gen dial (esp for the black dial) would be the last 5% for sure. Good luck Sharrkey in your parts quest. I just found all the parts for my Rolex GMT2 Franken after a long search, so I know what you are going through.

Thanks bud, but I'm kinda flying in the dark with this build, and don't know how far I want to go! Rep is actually very very good out of the box, so I'm not gonna go mad!!

Qc pics in for the black, Now where is my bloody Gen dial!!!!! Fecking snail mail[emoji30]

I do agree I wish they had done the clasp as well. Maybe they will later, well I hope so also!

Placed an order for the Lareus version. To me the open caseback and plain movement is a bigger tell than less pronounce sunburst effect.

Now I hope these movements are stable and dont crap out in couple of months.

I ordered the white dial ZF and the Zenith Type 20, can't wait for the Zenith to arrive so I can C&R it and get the blue one.

Shame, I asked about the blue and they said it was far off just a few days ago.
