Just to clarify that NONE of these photos are mine, I don't own this watch either so don't ask me about anything in detail.

Some flaws

Gen's 9 o'clock sub-dial is not as close to the edge

the rep's date window a bit too big, you can see a tiny bit of next date peaking in

The most worried 2 font problem turned out not being a problem, not a easy tell

Here's the original link if anyone's interested

Thanks for the photos
You're welcome.

I definitely agree that this is a beautiful watch, and I think I can bear with the few minor errors.

Only concern now is the movement, whether it is long lasting

I bet it's pretty decent honestly. The IWC movements I've had have really held up. Granted I've purchased more than two broken ones from others and had them fixed :) but they work great once a smith lays hands on them

I don't know if that can be the case for this one, since it's a new movement, it would be hard for watchsmith to figure it out

Thanks for the pics.
Looks like a great watch overall. Yes some small tells but nothing major imo. I just hope they'll fix the internation br on the movement.
From what I've heard, the movement is a modded 23J so it shouldn't be too hard to get fixed.

odd, on the photos above, the 9 subdial appears closer to the chapter ring than does the one at 3, but the dial on PT's sample appears to show them evenly spaced...

Has anyone already gained hands-on-experience in which way the annual calendar works?

I think it's a QC issue. Notice how PT's photo the 2 is more crooked than the on hand photo as well?

I think anyone who would want to buy this need to do hard work on their QC checking

The bigged issue is the INTERNATION WATCH BR. Engraving on the movt. ... they just ruined a almost perfect watch .
