The BP Marcus Bühler has an A6498 inside. That is the "farm tractor" of the movements, extreme robust and nearly undestroyable. So be cool and enjoy this watch!

The 5009 has the new A52010 movement inside (also called Liaoning Peacock SL6601). Domi (a german rep modder) already serviced one of this movements. Also the german user chris3007 has already complete disassembled and assembled again this movement. He told us this is a very solid movement, easy to service, no complicated parts inside, but hard to find spare parts: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...e-the-clone-A52010-movement-a-full-break-down

My opinion is: this movement isn't bad, although some users here speak negative about ZF using this movement for their BPs and the QC of ZF. My two 52010 are running fine, one of them since months now. You can give this movement to a local watch smith for service/oiling after receiving the watch. Just to be assured there is no problem with the movement and/or the QC of ZF. A normal watch smith should be able to do this.

Oh, I see, you are german: just give it to chris3007 (mod of the german subforum) and let him do a service on it. That's easy and cheap.

Pal, does ZF BP 5008 use the same movement A52010?

There are reps with 21600: the old versions of the BPs with non working PR. But I think it's better to have a working PR than a "slower" ticking seconds hand. It's 8 ticks per second against 6 ticks per second. Not easy to spot.

[MENTION=121094]timnic54[/MENTION]. What do you think about your iwc 500916 ? The movement is similar to 500901? Tell me sth about this wonderful watch and about the diameter (smaller tha 500901). Thank you very much.
And at least the original strap ZF is good quality? I read in an another post that if you wear for a long time the original ZF strap it feels good and obtain a patina similar tothe original one.

AFAIK the 500901 is the same as the 500916 except that the 916 has the blue dial and the 901 has a black dial. They aare both the same diameter I think. Supplied strap was pretty good. I have not worn it so not sure how it will wear. I never wear the supplied strap on Reps I always replace with a Gen quality strap.

Guys I noticed the other day that there's a 'new' 5009 on different sites. For example: http://chazingtime.com/product/big-...dition-black-dial-black-leather-strap-a51111/

Is there a difference between this one and the ZF that we've been discussing? I can't discover a difference and don't want to buy an old version if this one turns out to be improved.

Yes , IWC updated the 5009 adding the "9" back to the dial, moving the 12 o'clock triangle marker down and adding an indie above it. The rep you've referenced reflects these updates. FWIW I prefer the older version, but both are excellent reps
