    Hi Forum Friends,

    Sorry no historical significance in this post, besides sharing the joy of staring at this timeless beauty in the morning sun. And isn't that domed crystal fantastic looking too:

    Every time I see your watch my knees buckle. The combination of the a-magnetic property, the outstanding movement and the beautiful sigma midnight blue sunburst dial make it one of the perfectest IWCs of all time.

    Thank you Antonio, and the white gold hour markers on the 'aprior' dial of course ;-)

    I agree, it is one of my favorite IWC's posted here. The blue sunburst dial is "the best of the blues" IMHO!

    Tony said it so well. Bob, your always wonderful pictures of your beautiful watches are works of art in themselves.

    Bob, I honestly believed that I would see that fantastic watch on the 17th June...but now I need to wait. But wait I will as it's one of the most exquisite of timepieces we have seen here!

    Enjoy, and above all wear in good health.
