Got mine today. When I look at the watch from side on the seconds hand looks like it's bent down. I'm trying to work out of it is bent or just an illusion from the crystal. Anyone else noticed the same?

Hi everibody, i am new of the forum. I'd want to by a ZF IWC 5009, it's an amazing rep and i'd like to know if it's very very similar to gen. Could someone discover my rep when i'm walking?
Thank you

I would consider this a super rep and highly doubt anyone would call you out on it if you dressed like you could own a $10k watch.

Mine says hi!

Thank you. And what about the powerwind? Could you tell me something more. Polonius some posts before at page 26 soustain that it doesn't work in a correct way. Is it true?

Interesting. I honestly had no idea.. I just manually wound the watch before I wear it. Power reserve is around 3-4 days, so that's more than enough for me before I switch it out to wear something else. Didn't even realize it was an automatic. ha!

It's meant to be bent? I compared it to a gen 5004 which isn't bent, hence why I asked

^ All IWC's have bent hands. Its to reduce the effects of the crystal.

I just got my BP from the mail man 30 minutes ago, and I can tell you the rep strap looks kinda similar to the gen (which I have), until you put it on your wrist.

Because the gen strap is really soft, the whole watch sits on the wrist really well, and that is a big factor for the on-wrist effect. The threading is also different, gen is much much nicer.

Get a buffalo pilot strap. I highly recommend it.

The rep strap is getting better by looking "used" after a couple of days or weeks. Gets some "patina".
