    I though I would take some photos of my new IWC. Please bare with the reflection on the dial and photo quality. I am no professional and was taking these at my office with my iPhone.

    I've worn it only for just over 24 hours now and I absolutely adore this timepiece. The simple design is elegant. The TOP GUN strap suites the watch wonderfully is its comfort suppresses other straps I've owned. I enjoy having a watch that displays both day and date. Just one pity is that IWC didn't create the date wheel to include both German & English settings (not to say it has any baring on my liking of this watch).

    Mechanically the watch so far has gained around 1 sec positive in its first 24 hours on my wrist. If it remains this way, it will be on par with what my OMEGA co-axial, before Swatch-service damaged the movement.

    I'm very pleased with my IWC.

    Very nice pictures indeed, of a very nice watch. I like your strap choice, in a way more fitting to a luxury tool watch than the crocodile strap. I recommended your choice to the husband of a colleague of mine who will buy this watch probably in three weeks time (nothing stops Facebook communication): who knows you will get a follower. Enjoy!

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    I'm also on facebook but not often as it is blocked at my office. I hang around the IWC facebook page. I will post someone photos and happy to accept IWC enthusiasts as friends. If anyone here sees my photos on Facebook feel free to add me (Sven is my first name).

    WOW, iPhone photos????? My Blackberry can never get pix looking that good, LOL!

    "Reflection" is one of the hardest issues to resolve with photography (even in my amateur attempts).

    Congrats on your new IWC!!!!!!!!

    Over the last years after seeing so many "371701" pilot chronos (one of my all time favourite watches and my first IWC watch) this is the first time I see on this strap.

    It looks really brilliant.

    Wow! Really nice choice for the strap. I've been considering the brown buffalo calfskin w/white stitching, but this really makes me reconsider now.
