It's on it's way

It's a QC picture, yes, but I don't need any advice if I should accept it or not, just want to show how it looks like besides the sample pics the TD's have been showing.

The movement I posted was prototype so that was roughly 5 months ago.

Well all I can say is that you can see it on some of the images posted up here at certain angles. There's no point really highlighting it as it is not apparent on the wrist at normal size.
As I have said many times on here I think this rep is excellent, end of story. I've another two dial colours about to be sent and will buy more.

Bad thing is that the IWC rep scene doesn't have guys like tc or bk to correct this faulty datewheel...

 

[w0rn]

When talking about datewheel I feelt that I had to share a couple pics of the Ardoise date window of the watch that's on it's way.
In my mind, It's really good.

I was thinking about getting the ardoise one... your QC pics looks very good.

I'm looking forward to see your picture with natural light

 

[retrospex]

That ardoise dial does look beautiful. I too look forward to seeing it in natural lighting

The gold ardoise is finally out: http://www.puretime.watch/product/p...1-best-edition-on-brown-leather-strap-a52010/
I just love this combination.

If ZF made the existing strap from alligator it would be pretty good I would say. Only real problem with the existing strap is that it is embossed leather.

I just received mine and it is embossed plastic. The finish is peeling in places and it is plastic underneath. I have a gen alligator strap on it's way, so no big deal.

To pull it off with this one you would ultimately need a strap with curved ends and a 5007 rose gold clasp. I don't think IWC ever made the 5001 in rose gold with the ardoise dial. Can the experts confirm?

I love mine!! Vietnam strap has been put on as well and TBH his straps are f**kin awesome for the price - very soft and they look very good quality.

Before strap change.

After strap change.

5001 have this ardoise version which is white gold. I've posted picture before.

Guys, how's does the winding on these movements feel? Smooth? Still waiting for mine.

^ Winding is quite smooth. Also the movement is not noisy at all.

That date wheel is damn near perfect… so are the number markers on the dial. I thought that specifically with the ardoise dial these were major issues. Perhaps it was just the sample the TDs got to photograph? This version is the best of the bunch IMO, but I was holding off because of the clear issues. Looks like you either dodged a bullet or the issues have been addressed.

Which TD my friend?

 

[w0rn]

The TD is Ryan at Intime and had the same worries before order regarding the sample pics that was shown but it looks like that wont be a problem.

Oh, I just assumed it was leather, gen alligator on mine anyway. This deserves a good strap.
