Weight is on the light side. Strap is gen croc, printing on clasp I didn't look closely though... The engraving on the rotor and movement looked fantastic, better then the previous one . (Fa jones just launched few months back)
I got it from a great guy who is not a TD here. He actually takes videos of water proofing and leaves the watches to run for 12 hours before sending out . It was working fine in the videos and when he sent out. Had bought over 10 watches from him and 2 of my tourbys were from him. I had initially wanted to buy the Previous IWC instead of VC but none of the watches he tested were water proof. So I ended up with the VC.
In the videos this time, I Saw the power reserve on the video drop overnight from 7-5 before it was sent out. When it arrived the power reserve was at 3 , might have been damaged while transporting , though it was packed nicely. So blame it on my luck. My first DOA in 30 watches.
Can't wait for it to arrive.
