Let's see some more QC pics of the ardoise dial version. I thought I was settled on white/blue, but now I'm swerving in the ardoise direction.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a blue dial, the only one is the aureus? Because this one ( ZF version, 5001, it's not available in blue right? )

Thanks

Having a REALLY hard time deciding what stainless version to go after...
White w/ gold numbers
White w/ blue number
Gray dial
Black dial

Is there a better maker to go after? Like who's white/gold & black dial is better made/closest to gen? Trying to read all 1000 posts in this thread is rough LOL

[MENTION=12125]sharrkey[/MENTION] - is that a gen dial you have in yours? Did you happen to take side by side pics of the gen/rep dial so we can see the differences? I've been in love with this model IWC for the few occasions I do dress up, and was thinking maybe doing a Franken as well...if I did decide I love it on my wrist. Too many times I've loved a watch on pics but not on my wrist.

Mines away to Domi to get the dial fitted and whatever else he suggests, I didn't do a side by side because another member has done so.

They do have AR...the blue hue is as per every other IWC.
Ahhh. Didn't realize the AR was as per gen. Was hoping to get it to be a little less reflective when looking straight on the dial.

But if this is as per gen then im happy with it. Thanks man !

It's pretty good on the rep, it has the blue tint but slightly more reflective. It's close but not quite as good as a Sunnydale AR or Gen. I'm happy with it.

Hmm. Anyone know if this will accept a gen Crystal?

Sent from my Deco Stop

Don't get me wrong, I like to mod wherever I can but I'm not sure I would bother with a gen crystal. In my opinion the best bang for buck to improve the watch would be a gen or gen spec. strap.
A cheap strap makes a watch look cheap and quality strap makes the watch look quality. This is supposed to be a $9k watch so if you want it to look authentic put a top quality strap on it. Well that's my opinion anyway!

That's the plan. Was in the process of getting an orloff strap and he never got back to me. Also have a Vietnam on the way to tide me over.

Jeez I've looked at Gen crystals, hands, crown, and even deployant!
Gotta draw the line somewhere I guess as I know I'll just end up selling eventually.
Still would like a Gen deployant to go with my Oem strap
