V7 will release Ingenieur!

Thanks for all gen new pics here. From what we already know, the dial need an update for sure. But the screws are also in need to get improved. But I doubt they are going to fix the screw size…

might be my blurry vision today, but whats wrong with the screw size? Gen slighty bigger?

Keep in mind the screws are so small it is hard to notice a 0.01mm difference in size. They are even be smaller and harder to notice than the screws on a Royal Oak. I think the biggest flaw they should work on for a v2 is to maybe correct the IWC dial 'flaw' and make the dial even more metallic to include more sunburst in sunlight conditions. However, they've replicated the color of the aqua dial extremely well so that it appears generally green in most lighting conditions and blue in low light conditions.

We should be careful what we wish for. If they correct the texture under the logo but mess up the colour trying to make it more metallic, then where would we be? I think it would be wise to correct the details at the logo while leaving the colour and gleam the same.

Yup. The gens have a silver plating on the dial the rep factories will never spend money mimicking lol

Just use my „first comparison“ gen VS V7F. Screws are smaller on gen.

These are looking really good! I haven't been able to find these on any of the td websites. Where are you guys getting them?

Just contact any TD. They can source it all. Just wait for CN.

Looks very nice. Thanks for photos. I’m looking forward to get one as well. Couple of days ago I widowed AD to try GEN. Here are real-life GEN pictures- for comparison.

thank you for sharing those pictures from the gen. honestly i was a bit underwhelmed by the rep dial so far, but seeing that the gen dial does not look that shiny when pictures are not made by iwcs marketing department now brings the rep dials much closer to the gen...

Definitely white dial is more shiny due to silver hue. Black is not reflective too much.

Looking better than the first iteration for sure!
I wonder if they'll make the grey dial out of titanium!

Was there an iteration prior to this?

Was there an iteration prior to this?

I’m guessing he means the other factory before v7 release

Friendly advice - if you have 7.5+ inch wrist like me, make sure to request at least to extra links from your TD, otherwise you can’t wear it.
The rep is coming with default 9+9 links as gen does - but unfortunately this is not enough.

That wrist doesn’t look like 7.5 TBH

Bro has a wrist and hand like Hulk ! watch must look like a 36mm on him!
Pls share some pics too!

Ouch, that must have hurt!
Hopefully you can get some spare links from your TD for free

As someone mention before, this genta design - so wears and feels larger.

Thanks to that, watch sits perfect even on a larger wrists like mine.

V7 factory has been informed already about this issue, so they will start to supply extra end links after 15th - dont know whether free or not.

Info from my dealer in Shanghai.

A comment about first impression - watch is super firm. Dial color appear sometimes shiny and sometimes matte, and dial texture is always plays, responding to different light conditions, very nice feeling.

I saw gen IRL already, and V7 dial is 95% gen-like imo. Only lume little weak, but it's a peanuts.

Lastly, it looks VERY thin on the wrist, just little larger than Nautilus. Watch's "bottom-belly" is fully hidden within the wrist, and therefore the thin look.

Pics for the reference:

One more thing - maybe it's only me slowpoking hehe, but only now I've noticed that black/white/grey versions come with brushed middle links, and green one - with polished. Keep in mind
