... When your wife gives you this for your b'day:
-
Congratulations, looks great on you.
-
julywest - yep, the loaner is head only. the OEM NATO is woven and not printed and is much nicer, imho. ottovonn - thank you - cheers, mate
-
Please update on the accuracy.
-
Damn you. This picture is doing nothing for my Pepsi obsession. Love it!
-
thats my concern. Those lugs are pretty big and I'm not a fan of the gap between the case and strap on any watch so this is going to test me. I've ordered a fairly cheap one as a test. Shame there aren't more curved lug straps around. Be interested to see the BB with an isofrane.

Thinking of trying a 116200 but not too keen on the polished finish of the case and centre links. Should be easy enough to have a jeweller put a matt finish on these parts in the manner of a Sub or Explorer...but what will it look like?? Anyone out there tried it?ThanksRD
-
Great decision! Congrats on your Submariner!

1 vote for the 377704. Especially since I just bought one myself. I was actually tossing up between the IWC and the Breitling Transocean. In the end the IWC won out because it was really the watch that I wanted. I have had Breitlings and Omegas in the past and have to say that, if you have not had an IWC before, I highly recommend getting one. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend trying them both on and seeing which is a better fit or which appeals to you more. The IWC pilots bracelet is very comfortable and link removal is very easy with the tools provided. I have a 7.5" wrist and like the 43mm size of the IWC. I went from a Breitling Avenger Skyland which was too big for me at 45mm. The Omega is a very big watch. In terms of movement, I think that the Co-axial movement is better (someone else might be better informed on this than me) however when are you going to notice a difference in movement?

The AT2000 is actually quite an impressive piece in person. The case is really beautifully made and the lumed bezel is very cool. I really liked the Bremont Alt1-c in pictures but was very disappointed in the watch in the metal. It really left me cold. I'm not anti-Bremont but I feel they are way overpriced given what they are and where they are in their history. The secondary market seems to agree, with the watches selling at around 1/2 of their MSRP not long after they're originally sold. IWCs are expensive. But at a decent discount from an AD (20%) or second hand they are pretty reasonable value, if that can be said of any high-end mechanical timepiece.

Too big for my wrist is the main reason... And the fact that everyone has one (or will eventually get one) is kind of a turn off.
-
What's the general consensus on the JLC movement equipped 3741? I've recently acquired one and have sent it in for service.
-
Thanks. Very interesting. Hopefully IWC will have some data on it.

Woot congrats! It looks great :)
