I have been a big fan of IWC watches for quite a long time. But due to the financial limit, I can not afford to collect genuine IWC watch. I turn to collect replica iwc watches instead. And three months after the IWC minute repeater was released, I found a replica version was listed from sale on one site. I immediately placed an order and became a happy owner of the watch, though it is a replica. Here comes my review of this watch.

Front:Not like the gen, my replica does not have AR coating on both sides. Luckily, it has white dial, so it is not a big issue. And it has a mineral crystal rather than a sapphire crystal, which makes it get scatches easily.Like most IWC replicas, the replica has slightly thinner The IWC logo lettering On the dial. With the help of a magnifier, you will find that the hour markers is a bit longer than the gen.

As with the Portuguese Chrono,the shapes of Arabic numerals are not the same. The replica numerals are a bit long. The genuine numerals looks slightly rounder as they are more squat.

Overall, the subdial is quite well copied. The only regret is that the hand on the rep is too long. It reaches the outer circle of the subdial, while the hand on the just just touched the inner circel.

Last but not least, the crown on the rep has different teeth with that on the gen. But the crown still looks good, so that is a big issue.

Back:We all know that replica watches always pale before genuine pices when it comes to movement comparison. The movement on the gen is normally finished and assemble by the best technician. So if you hope the rep have the same high quality movement as the gen. You must disappoint in the end. The case on this replica IWC minute repeater is not an exception. The movement inside it looks totally different from the genuine. However, it bears correct engravings.

Conclusion: Though with some flaws, this IWC replica watch minute repeater is still a good substitute of the genuine, especially for common people who hard to save a fortune to afford the gen. It is in fact very good with a price tag at just $98-just a very very small fraction of the real thing.
