I had no idea there was a homage of this watch, thank youHave to say their Serica homage looks really great
It looks like a pretty decent watch too, people in user review section seem to love it and compare quality to San Martin. V7F should give it a try, that would be awesome 
Ciao guys
Today I went to AD again
Here for reference
And then the lady came out with the new arrival
Definitely more sporty
They also had the micro adjustable butterfly clasp for around additional 370eur/400usd ..
The original bracelet is tight on me.
I definitely need one or two additional links
After 3-4 times I went to try the gen I think the black is my favourite and the rep aqua does not look like the gen colour in picture
So if I m able to get extra 2 links I LL buy the black
And then someone who can 100% remember how dark the aqua was and is then aware of reps of this and how that color is? Id say 0% haha
Haha it might probably bother me too but I've learnt to care less about my reps. Especially knowing that it's a watch rarer than Subs and DJs where I'm at.
I went to the AD yesterday to check it out in person. Unfortunately, they said IWC didn't want a spot in their new flagship store and hence, they aren't dealers anymore. Sucks because I guess I have to go to Chicago, which is the closest and like 1.5 hours way. When I get my aqua, I'll pay them a visit and see if I can get pics of both watches. Or at least see if the difference is obvious to an untrained eye like mine.
Jesus. To my untrained eye, that looks exactly like the boutique photo a few posts above. Man Wednesday can't come soon enough!Life is too short to worry about such things.
Buy a rep and be happy wearing it.
Else buy a Gen and be happy wearing it.
A shot to chase the Monday blues away. This is a good example of how the dial will change color. The dial became more like black while the date dial remain aqua
Have received my watch too and have to agree with all your points. Its my first rep ss bracelet watch so dont know if this is good for reps or not.
It's a good watch. I'm not very happy with the feel of the bracelet. Does feel cheap. I have VSF/ZF/BP/GF reps (Sub, Omega WT, SMP300, Breitling Navitimer World, SOH etc). They all have better bracelets. I'm hoping an oil bath will help reduce the jangly feel. I'll also try and smoothen the edges.
Keep us updated bout ur works on the bracelet! Ill maybe ask my local watchmaker if he can do something like that for my watch too.It's a good watch. I'm not very happy with the feel of the bracelet.

And I wish the clasp had micro adjust. I removed two links and it's a little tight. If I only remove one link, it's a little loose. I can't seem to get the perfect fit without the micro adjust clasp.
It also wears much smaller than the dimensions suggest. It's a very comfortable watch. Wrist shots make it look big on my small wrists. Mirror shots make it look small.
