You can buy only half links? I saw just bundle watch + gift half linkThat's a V1. But don't worry, the dial difference is so small that you can hardly see it. I received my V1 yesterday and can barely read the IWC logo when the watch is on my arm.
As already reported by many, the bracelet fits very tightly on a 17.5 cm wrist. I have now ordered a half-link from Ixdao (Aliexpress)... I have a good feeling that it will fit.

Half links are also available individually.
search for ixdao on aliexpress.
i will report the result here, but it will take another 2 weeks
I don't think that the IXDAO links are compatible. IXDAO is using screw links, while IWC (and I think the rep manufacturers) use these push pin links.

i understand that these are different fixings (push pins cs srew pins), but it may still fit. it's worth a try

Yes, I just wanted to point out, that the fixings are different. I hope it fits with the rep bracelent. Would be a good option, if rep links are not available seperately.
Does anyone know details about the AR coating on the crystals of the V7 Ingenieur? If I'm not wrong, the gen has AR coating on the inside and the outside of the crystal Is it the same on the rep?
not sure if I have bad luck or these v7 just have really bad QCs
1st QC have a slanted marker at 3, I rejected.
2nd QC with updated dial didn't even have a 3 marker

you should go for the V2 anyway.not sure if I have bad luck or these v7 just have really bad QCs
1st QC have a slanted marker at 3, I rejected.
2nd QC with updated dial didn't even have a 3 marker
I assume they also fixed the slanted markers with the V2
my TD is pissed at me for rejecting 2 horrible QCs in a row, he asked me to accept the 2nd one without the marker at 3 or he'll just refund me....Wonder what issue the 3rd one will have

and that is why I don't deal with Hont anymore... those 2 rejections are well within your rights, the 1st QC that marker is drunk, that second one is just a huge defect
you said it...
I have been on this site for so long and I have always approved the first one sent to me, but lately I seem to have a string of bad luck with QCs

At least the 3 o clock looks the same.
And, what did you choose now? Refund or a Watch with missing Marker?
Funny enough, it is the first QC i received at all after all that time.
Lets see, if the next one is also horrible, and if so, if i also have to try another TD for that Watch.

If you are talking about Hont, I also requested a refund which he agreed on. Payed via wire transfer and he wants to PayPal the money back to me. Says it will take some time, let's see how long "some time" is and if it works out. Never had that issue with a TD before, but think everything will be fine.
of course refund lol, I can't believe he tried to talk me into taking a watch with a missing marker...At least the 3 o clock looks the same.

Also proves that this TD made zero effort to do his QC before going through the trouble of taking pics/videos and sending them to his customers
yes, it is him. This is only my second time dealing with him, safe to say this is my last time.

I bought mine from ToroBravo, not sure if he's a TD here, but I've been buying from him for many (maybe 10) years.
The watch arrived and I unfortunately missed the QC images where there was a crooked marker at 3:00 and the outer dial ring (swiss made) was not aligned with the last 's' in swiss under the 6:00
I had already taken the wrappers off so my options were only to return it for a replaced dial or get a dial sent to me to fix myself.
I sent it back for a dial replacement, so let's see how it goes... he received it on the 24th March.
