Should I pull the trigger?

I'm thinking about getting the new aquaracer

but It seems there's no info about this rep yet.
Judging by the pictures it looks quite accurate (besides the plastic movement holder) but I need your opinions on this one first.

I have the predecessor in blue and I like it alot.

So what do you think?

I was waiting this since its release. Now I hope also newest IWC Ingenieur will be replicated! I would definetly consider this a buy, but i think there will not be many people that will buy it.

I bought this, still waiting for her arrival. U have to watch for the date wheel. They sent me some QC pics with a white date wheel. Had them replaced it. It should be black, not white..

Thanks guys, i will order one and carefully check the QC pics. A white date wheel? What are they thinking??

Hoping to see some pics from Jeran1mo after arrival.

Congrats on the purchase and thanks for the heads up! Have been dallying between this version or the old one! Just one question, do you think the pearl and it's cutout (on the bezel) are accurate. The website pictures are not very clear. I'm hoping your QC pics were clearer. Thanks!

Someone did a comparison to the Gen at another forum. Check out the link...

Thanks for the updates, looks like a great rep!!!

In that case I guess I shouldn't be complaining about it

Hi guys, new here.. are we talking about the grande date quartz or the auto in the picture? I saw a site, I'll try and see my browser history if someone reminds me to find it and it was a website with a nice grande date quartz black bezel 300m old model, but the repping wasn;t good but it was a reasonable price, unlike the current $300 for a frikin quartz tag !

you can get used tags for $600 ! insane.

so this rep, had a white date backdrop which should be black (all black face you see) I think the blue version uses white. I contacted a seller about this matter , and he'll get back to me after CNY . The other problem was the 6' Oclock circle dial, the numbers where totally wrong and should be on a different window ! good case for the price though.. but defies the point of a rep

Anyway, the site wasn't verified on here, (i.e. not a TD) but I believe there is a place I can ask to verify it or something ? I', not accustomed to the sites protocol and seems because of my difficulties with my email not going through it now has a read thing that says duplicate account or something? wtf !

So yeah, if anyone knows of some good tag quartz aquaracer REPS for less than $200 that would be Cool, as currently they are either expensive or bad reps and for Quartz they should be cheap !
