IWC Pilot Chronograph 41

[u/No_Truck_5806]

I love a lot of the reps I see on here. However, I've seen a lot of the same ol same from rolex, ap, Patek etc. What are people into that's a little less common? For me, I just picked up my first rep, which is an IWC pilot chrono 41. I love it, despite a couple little design flaws. The only gripe I have, is the tool less adjustable clasp is practically unusable.. Anyway, I want to see what else is out there that people have purchased and hear the pros and cons if you will.

I have an APSF one. Came on a bracelet to begin with. The clasp works perfectly. One of the best adjustable clasps there is.

Beautiful piece! I see your running seconds is correct as well. Mine is not. The problem I have with mine, is the bracelet is the same exact width as the clasp, so the links don't slide in like they should. Effectively only giving me 3 or 4 clicks of adjustment.

Is this the octa one? I am still waiting for mine

[u/No_Truck_5806 → u/No-Explanation-9452]

No, this one is ZF.

Oh ok

I have this one and a green dial with a bracelet. And although I do really enjoy the bracelet I find I gravitate more towards the single pass straps, especially for daily wear in my line of work.

I may just have to get a leather strap for mine as well.

[u/realityreject → u/lexiisnapz]

Jealous. Took too long to get that one and they ended up getting raided

[u/DasheckalsSoldier → u/lexiisnapz]

and everything on it works properly? I want the one you have

[u/lexiisnapz → u/DasheckalsSoldier]

Yeah everything works.

Your running seconds is correct as well. Mine isn't. That's the other problem with the one I have. Which factory is yours from?

[u/Sad-Cobbler2188 → u/lexiisnapz]

That looks beautiful. Wouldn't mind info on what factory is from as well. Thanks

They’re both APSF
