V7 makes some of the best IWC reps, they're well known for it unlike GH (which is very unknown) so my hopes are high.hopefully they turn out to be nicely done...
there is another thread where someone put pics of the ixdao. it looked really goodHave anyone of you seen the IXDAO one before?
Do you think the quality of V7's rep would be similar to IXDAO's(case, bracelet, finishing)?
The reason I'm asking is that the IXDAO one uses a cheap to replace movement meaning less stuff to worry about. Also their logo dial looks neat.
Thanks!
Yeah feedback and corrections would be very much appreciated for this I'm a newbie when it comes to movements and all that.So I did some looking up. The IXDAO uses the PT5000, SW200, or ETA 2824.
And the gen uses the IWC caliber 32111 which is based on IWC caliber 32110.
Now the 32111 is exactly the 32110 with a larger barrel, by this the 120 hours.
I've found that the caliber 32110 has the same dimension specs etc with the ETA 2892-A2.
Now all the ETA 28xx movements are similar, with mainly the only difference in thickness and quality. I belive the 2892 is just a bit thinner than 2824. And I've read that people had success replacing both movements.
So what this means is that the IXDAO has the potential to accept dial and hands from either the gen or the soon to be released v7 rep.
Is the PT5000 better / worse / same as usual run of the mill A2824?So I did some looking up. The IXDAO uses the PT5000, SW200, or ETA 2824.

The PT5000 is without a doubt better than a A2824 … but sw200 and eta 2824 are a bit better than PT5000 movements …Is the PT5000 better / worse / same as usual run of the mill A2824?
PT5000 over an a2824 anytimeThe PT5000 is without a doubt better than a A2824 … but sw200 and eta 2824 are a bit better than PT5000 movements …
Thats what i say!PT5000 over an a2824 anytime
putting a sw or gen eta is 3x 4x more expensive, so needs to be in a real keeper watch
