Do you know the model of this watch? Its color is extremely eye-catching – this Tiffany blue tone has been very popular over the past few years. In the replica watch market, there is currently only one factory producing this model, which is TW. Very few people online have done in-depth reviews of this factory, mainly because its reputation is far behind major players like Clean, VS, and others. The reason is simple: TW does not produce “super clone” level watches, but rather mid-tier quality. However, one thing they do very well is speed – whenever a brand releases a new model, TW is usually the first to replicate it.
Many people have asked whether there is already a super clone version of this IWC. Let me be clear: at this stage, there isn’t one yet. But there almost certainly will be in the future – very likely within this year. And the first factory to release a true super clone version will most likely be APS.
There is one major flaw with the TW version: the functions are incorrect. Take a look at the 9 o’clock subdial – you may notice the running seconds hand there. On the replica, this subdial functions as the small seconds. However, on the genuine watch, the 9 o’clock subdial is actually a 12-hour chronograph counter, while the real running seconds is located at 6 o’clock. Another issue is that the watch is too thick, although this is not a critical problem. If APS releases this model later this year, the thickness will likely be much closer to the genuine version.
In terms of color, TW has done a decent job – the shade is quite close to the original. The factory also provides the two straps shown in the picture, both with quick-release functionality. For those who have high standards when it comes to replica watches, the TW version may not be sufficient. That said, APS may not necessarily produce this model, since it isn’t considered a particularly high-demand piece.
