Added my second IWC today: Reference IW387804

Hi,

I added a Spitfire Chronograph (IW387804) to my Aquatimer 2000 (IW356809). Somehow at last year's SIHH I missed its release. I mistakenly thought all of the Pilots with 89xxx calibres were 46 mm, like the large Portuguese and Ingenieur references. I am delighted that IWC released this reference at a smaller size (43 mm) with an ardoise dial,that utilized a 89365 calibre with a bracelet with a micro-adjustment.

Here are my two IWCs:

Spitfire Chronograph IW387804

Aquatimer 2000 IW356809

Kudos IWC,

Bob

Here is a wrist shot...

Congrats! what a way to end 2012. How could you have missed it in the first place? it remains my favorite watch of the SIHH 2012 releases from IWC. Let's see what 2013 brings us...

Nice pickup!! A great pilot watch. Love the triple date.

Hi Bob,

Congratulation on the spitfire, nice ardoise dial and looks terrific on your wrist.

Looking forward to more pics....

Congrats! It is a beautiful watch. I'm also a fan of the triple date. Enjoy and wear in good health.

My congratulations with a nice piece!!

Beautiful! I am a fan of the croc strap one...

Congratulations - it was certainly a SIHH popular piece. Well done for choosing it - Ardoise with steel is a rare but beautiful combination.

Hey, congrats on your second IWC and cheers for the photo's. Great quality. Very nice watches.

Bob,

Congratulations on number two. Wear both in good health.

Happy new year and likely for number three to arrive in 2013 ?

Congratulations. A great way to congratulate yourself for a hard but great 2012. I love that Ardoise triple date. Enjoy it.

Congratulations Bob, that's a beautiful watch and a Forum favorite. Enjoy and wear it in good health.

Kind regards,

Never get tired of that one. That dial is near perfect. Congratulations.

Love it, and the Aquatimer, too.

The Spitfire chrono is a beauty, No wonder it has become a favorite from the 2012 releases. I hope you'll share more pictures.

The wrist shot was a candid iPhone shot while stopped at a traffic light.

Congrats, nice watch.
