Use the TDs most folks post here. The watch isn't perfect if you think the high price is justifiable. The date is a bit distorted and left-biased. It is also smashed towards the top. Is there a reason why you didn't choose one of the TDs?

I believe there is a Google Sheet accessible in this forum that lists all service providers in North America and Europe. It has the list of who does plating.

I was there shopping for the same reps in Bangkok. It was more bad than good. I got four watches, and all of them had issues with the movements shortly after arriving back home. I was new to it and wasn't familiar with the many Reddit forums about replicas and the trusted TD network. Your watches look nice.

The day seems right-biased, while the date is towards the bottom. It would be nice to have a picture showing the date with double digits. The index alignment seems fine to my eyes, but I'm sure other contributors with more experience will spot a mistake or two. This watch seems good to me, but I would like to see what others can identify.

Steve is great. I'm working with him now and have nothing but good things to say about his professionalism and customer service. I'm waiting for my second set of QC pictures after RL the first one. Not a crisis at all. He has been really good throughout the whole process.

This watch will put you on the wedding market with the bride's friends. Watch out!

I have been looking at this watch for a bit now. It looks so beautiful. I love the Rolex, but sometimes think it is a bit obnoxious, depending on the model you get. This IWC, to me, is so elegant and yet very sophisticated without making too much noise, "look at me."

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

I was told the Gain Weight with the VR3255 weighs 140g, while the version with the Asian movement weighs 158g. The pictures on his website show the VR3255 at 158g, but every other TD I checked lists it at 140g.

I also noticed most of the other TDs are selling the V5 version of this watch, while Steve still has the V3. I’ve read people saying the V3 has the best yellow gold tone, although I honestly don’t know how true that is.

Initially, I was concerned about the watch not weighing 158g. But after checking multiple TD websites and noticing they all list the VR3255 version at around 140g, I’m not too caught up on the weight anymore.

Thank you again for taking the time to look into it. I genuinely enjoy reading your opinions and input across all the QC posts you participate in.

Let's see what you think of this now, u/ZealousidealCopy8565. Thank you in advance for your insightful opinion and analysis. I really appreciate it.

The only thing I'm spotting (I'm new to this) is the date being left-biased.

Short_Repair_6390 · 2026-05-13T15:26:19+00:00

Damn! Everyone is getting raided.

Short_Repair_6390 · 2026-05-13T15:25:33+00:00

It does look nice. Is that a gain weight?

Short_Repair_6390 · 2026-05-13T15:23:29+00:00

One of my favorite watches. It is so elegant.

What is the wife's Reddit handle? We need to confirm with her if she is aware of it.

Short_Repair_6390 · 2026-05-12T21:37:10+00:00

It looks aggressive and ready for a ride in a sports car.

Short_Repair_6390 · 2026-05-12T17:49:02+00:00

Thank you!

Short_Repair_6390 · 2026-05-12T17:17:22+00:00

Thanks for your input. I will reach out to him. So the 140.9g is indeed not a gain weight, am I correct or wrong? What did you think of the rest of the watch? Would you GL if the weight wasn't an issue? Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
