    Hi all, I am looking to buy a discontinued IWC UTC watch into my collection.
    Between 3251-02 and 3251-06, which of the two is a better watch to get? Thanks
    in advance for all your advice.

    Between the two I would GO for the 3251-01, which is the pure classic pilot
    UTC. But... personaly I own the 3251-12 which is imho just perfect. The dial
    is just amazing.

    Hard to say one is "better" than the other, it is really a question of which
    dial you prefer. Which one is speaking to you?

    Thank you! I find both dial styles to be appealing equally lol. Very hard to
    choose; one is more classic while the other looks more elegance imo. There is
    a local dealer selling IW325101 near where I leave. Overall condition is
    good. However, the watch has some scratches on its glass (near number 6).
    Not sure if I have to replace it or not if I were to buy this one.

    Best regards,

    Kong

    That's a really nice watch on a fantastic bracelet, I would say go for it! A
    great way to jump into IWC. If the scratch on the crystal bothers you, you can
    have that changed out down the road.
