  1. Speaking of which I read somewhere that they used the movie logo not the real Tog Gun weapons school logo.. can anyone confirm or deny that??

    Yes, the logo on the watch is the one from the film (i.e. fictional).

    The other thing I don't like about the watch is the oversize date window, which I would find more distracting than useful. They could have used a regular day/date window and placed the IWC logo around it rather than placing it at the 9 o'clock position. Also, I wonder why they didn't go with raised hour markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 (like on the 3717). Are those hour markers still lumed?

  2. For me, the Top Gun logos ruin what is otherwise a great watch.

    And BTW, yet another reason why an ex-Blockbuster shopclerk like Tarantino, who acts like a two-year old on a sugar rush, is one of the most overrated directors in the world.

    Except for Reservoir Dogs, that is.

    Not sure how you reach that conclusion from the clip Pugwash posted. The Tarantino scene was from Sleep with Me, which was directed by someone called Rory Kelly.

  3. Those kind of jokes tend to erode whatever statesman-like qualities a candidate has. If a politician wants to be funny, one of the best ways of doing that is for him (or her) to make a witty retort to an opponent. That fits more within the typical boundaries of acceptable political behaviour (probably at the expense of addressing the point at hand though).
