    Just got my first IWC timepiece last week for my birthday. A surprise gift
    from my wife and daughter.

    Got the beautiful Pilot's Chrono Top Gun ref. IW388007 with the lovely 89365
    movement. I've been wanting to buy an IWC watch for years now after a good
    friend of mine who's a huge IWC fan got me into watches ha! My dream is still
    a Big Pilot but this was an incredible surprise. The watch wears and feels
    just incredible. I look at it at times and just stare like an idiot at the
    seconds hand moving.

    The best part for me is the date window. My oh my, the date window is just
    gorgeous. Also the lume! Love how it lights up like a torch.

    Anyway, enough of that. Wanted to share this with everyone here because not
    many of the people around me understand what this watch means to me.

    Waiting to see if IWC launches a special edition of the BP next year for the
    20th anniversary. If so, I'm getting that. Otherwise, just the simple and
    slick classic BP will be next.

    Hello Edo and welcome to the forum.

    Your post is a perfect example of the moment adding value to a watch. The
    watch is special but the moment makes it unique. Congrats and wear it in good
    health.

    Thank you! And yes, it will always be a nice memento of a great birthday
    celebration in the middle of a global pandemic in which we've all stayed
    healthy and well. The watch definitely represents something unique :)
