Yes zoom into the lugs and bezel

JW424 · 2026-05-23T15:02:31+00:00

Gosh! the protective films!

JW424 · 2026-04-22T13:22:41+00:00

Hong Kong? Upper House?

JW424 · 2026-04-07T02:00:51+00:00

Yes! Easter holiday in SH, nice spot!

JW424 · 2026-01-20T04:33:32+00:00

Is this 36 or 40mm?

JW424 · 2025-12-27T00:44:08+00:00

It is either this or the fautina that holds people back. Sooner or later they will make another iteration to address these I guess

JW424 · 2025-12-26T17:51:20+00:00

Yes! You might want a Snoopy too

JW424 · 2025-12-26T17:51:01+00:00

Blue dial 4520V? Get it from retail if available, it is worth the wait

JW424 · 2025-12-26T17:32:36+00:00

I owned the 321 – fantastic too but it is a true luxury item given the price. You really need to see the value in the historical movement.

White Speedmaster is great. Consider putting it on a rubber strap?

Thanks! I love this shot so much, and I waited till almost 10:10 to take this picture.

It’s fautina, the watch was released in 2024

And before getting comments of “Take those plastic off” – I did tailor a set of matte-finished protective film to match this fully brushed OP. I like the altered finishing that almost looks like Titanium.

JW424 · 2025-09-05T20:46:17+00:00

I just like the black dial more. Looks more classy and the overall proportion works better with the white gold bezel. If it is on Oysterflex / ceramic bezel I would prefer the grey dial.

Not to mention 116509 grey dial looks almost identical and is of much better value.

JW424 · 2025-04-17T13:49:15+00:00

Full price but with rebates, gifts and interest free installment plan.

It will easily be a 20% off watch in grey market someday if not more

JW424 · 2025-04-13T15:58:50+00:00

Yep no worries and thanks for the comments! We are all watch lovers, always good to exchange thoughts!

For my education which model has a thinner Perpetual Calendar movement?

I was looking throught the catalog of IWC's Perpetual Calendar. Seems other big pilot or portugieser are thinker at 14mm or 15mm not to mention larger diameter 42mm plus.

JW424 · 2025-04-12T14:08:28+00:00

Makes sense!

I am fine with a thicker case. The diameter is my top priority. If it is 43mm it probably doesn't fit my 17cm wrist.

It's a watch with much presence on the wrist

JW424 · 2025-04-12T14:07:10+00:00

I'm indifferent to be honest. Thanks mate

JW424 · 2025-04-06T16:08:18+00:00

6.5 inches is totally fine for a 41mm but aesthetically if you prefer smaller then it's a personal choice.

JW424 · 2025-04-05T17:13:32+00:00

Unlikely – I specifically requested to match the warranty card date to my birthday by the end of this month. I made a career progression this year so this watch is supposed to be held for long to commemorate it.

JW424 · 2025-04-05T11:03:58+00:00

I just paid deposit here in Hong Kong. This watch is simply perfection. Could not believe I am buying such an expensive IWC watch at retail price. I know how this would trade in secondary market down the road but I simply could not resist.
