Bought this a fortnight or so ago. Very much been on "the list" to get at some point.
Its a big lump, but I do like a bigger watch generally.
Amazing! How long did you have to wait for that?Its a big lump, but I do like a bigger watch generally.
Is the silver blob on the minute hand actually there or is it a trick of the light in that photo?
The 'blob: must have been something on the crystal. Made me panic for a minute....

Ha Ha, sorry didn’t mean to get your heart rate up! Yeah must’ve been a speck of dust or something.
Great watch.

A pop-up IWC boutique at Goodwood MM facilitated an unplanned (but very pleasing) purchase last weekend:
(My penance has been a week spent in airports, and seemingly endless underground carparks of Luxembourg).
That's a great looking thing. I popped in there just in case they brought the new portugieser eternal calendar and had a chat. I came out wondering how many people bought a significant watch on a whim in such a pop up.... You've answered my question!

I'm as surprised as anyone that I went shopping last weekend! I have always liked IWC Pilot's watches (in particular the ceramic (1)) ones and am increaisngly uncomfortable wearing a Rolex in London (had a few experiences recently when it was made quite clear people were watching what I was wearing which is quite unnerving even, for a 120kg (okay, ++) 1.93m lump, such as I am, in a populated and public space).I blame my wife for suggesting we had a look in the pop-up...and after the most gentle and sensible retail experience, all concatenated into shopping.
(1) ..and most people will think, as it's blue, it's a Moonswatch or similar which delights me.

Well done her! My financial controller would have done exactly the opposite and I would probably have been walking home if I had done the same.
