With the Navitimer with sub dials at 12,9,6, you dont get the recessed date problem, and yes the newer asian movement is better than the older one.
I have both layouts, and I like the 12,9,6 two tone version more than the other stainless steel one I own with 3,6,9 layout. It looks particularly good on the leather strap.
How about placing your IWC on a strap? Thats an elegant looking watch, would look very nice on the strap! Think Pug has posted some pics of this in the IWC area.
Leaving for Greece in 5 hours. To say I am lookin forward to it is an understatement. Being British, I could complain about the crappy weather we've had, but I will refrain, I am looking forward to some sunshine though!
The watch of choice, none other than the White steelfish on gen rubber!
Il make sure I get some decent photo's and put them up when I get back.
See you all soon!
You can buy a genuine for an AD, or you can get a replica ne from probably the same place as the Steelfish. I would personally recommend a genuine rubber strap, thye look incredible on the Steelfish!
Yes the TT version looks stunning!
We'll have to arrange a London get together at some point then, I know there are a few people that live fairly close to there.
I have the Breitling Chronomat, and i is a fantastic watch, but the new Costeau is gorgeous, and I am really growing to like IWC's at the moment! Have you seen the ordinary Chrono in the pipeline, that looks quite promising also?
When are you planning in coming over to the UK?
As CC says. If I am wearing a rep, I don't avoid the AD's like the plague. I do make sure that they don't get it from my wrist, or get a really good look at it. We have reps, they have gens. Flaunting a rep in the gen world is a big no no.
