Texski Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have been sworn to secrecy, but it is public now. I think these pictures are from a Schaffhausen Newspaper. I will get more details as they become available, but it looks like this version is Seconds @ 6 with a datewheel. This is purely speculation on my part, and based on this picture only. I do not have the details at this time. There is also a Mark XVII, which will be 2mm larger. This will bring it to 41mm, if I am not mistaken. No pictures yet. Anticipate!

HartDoc Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I could really go for a bigger Mark XVII(I).Does it also mean the gen parts for the BP are going to be impossible to get ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchiHH Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 This is the new Top Gun Miramar, named after the former location of the US Navy Fighter Weapons School (aka TOPGUN) http://www.watchesbysjx.com/2011/12/iwc-remakes-its-pilot-watches-for-sihh.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Beautiful watch. Finally some refinements for Topgun. I just wish they'd stop using the Topgun name and would release this watch without these childish engravings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchiHH Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 That sounds interesting too for me: "Alongside the chronograph, the Top Gun Miramar range will also have a Big Pilot with a similar design."

Bardamu Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I don't like so much the color of the hands and indexes. Looks nice at first glance, but I'm afraid this doesn't last for long, and after a while it becomes boring. I really prefer white hands. Maybe I'm too classical or old fashion...

Watchmeister Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Life in the IWC rep world is going to get a lot harder if they have in fact moved to an in house movement. I do like that latest top gun version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Looks like they got rid of the silly Top Gun on the case side which has always been a deal breaker for me. I reallay like the new design and coloring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I bet the first rep we see will have an unreliable running seconds at 6 and a 30 min counter at 12 where it should be a 60 min counter, all based on the A7750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Looks like that intense Forum breakdown last night prevented my post from going through .. Im glad they got rid of the awful Top Gun sticker on the caseback and went for a very attractive engraving instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I think they should have printed the DW in the same colur as the dial lume, and sat back anda waited to see how long it took to rep it, being as we still struggle to get a decent DW if it is any different to a standard ETA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
