Hi James welcome to the forum. I was looking at the exact same watch as you before deciding on an IWC. My cousin has this watch and its a very good copy of the genuine. So much so when he took it to the local watchsmith they thought it was a gen. I might actually pick one up sometime in the future but have overspent recently so cant really afford to at the moment. Here are a couple of links to trusted dealers we use on this site:

http://www.asian7750.com/cn/product_show.asp?big_pid=&ps_id=92&P_id=311&ti=

I've never used asian7750 but hear he is very good and the price looks amazing for such a great rep. Puretime is a little more but I can vouch for their service. Both will be roughly the same in shipping costs. I don't know where you are based but to here in the UK a watch costs around $30 to ship.

Hope that helps

I believe all the dealers can pretty much source the same watches, and if they can't get you the watch you want, it might just not be available as a rep. :)

With regards to replica Carrera CV2010BA0794 's, (the Brad Pitt watch) I have yet to see one that has the correct water resistance engraved on the back. All of them read 50 meters when it should be 100 meters, other than that there are no other glaring differences. You can still tell it's fake because of the minor flaws in workmanship, (i.e. lettering, logo positioning, placement of numbers, etc..), most people won't notice though, specially with this particular design, since there is a lot less on the face to notice, unlike the Carrera Day Date's.

A friend of mine bought a replica Carrera Day Date for around $300 but you could tell it was fake on closer inspection because of minor imperfections in the markings. There's just too many markings and I guess quality assurance checking is a little low on replicas ;)

Funny thing is the cheap quartz imitations of the watch got the water resistance right. :facepalm:

If anyone knows where I can get a replica CV2010BA0794 with the correct water resistance markings let me know, been dying to get my hands on one of these and the real one is just too much buck and not enough bang. :biglaugh:
