    I love that I can pick up my BP after nearly a week of not wearing it and it's still ticking..

    The 7-Day movement may not be the most accurate in the world, but, I sure do appreciate it...

    Lets see your 7-Day watches :)

    @ Adam - super photo of a truly handsome watch there!

    Here's a previous photo of my "7 Day wonder" :~)

    Here is mine in soft focus, but on a special moment. Love it, but it is in the box right now, with the new Spitfire Chrono on my wrist constantly: less power reserve but apparently a bit more accurate.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    With a 5001 at the top of my "to do" list, I have to ask... A couple of the posts in this thread have mentioned the accuracy of the 7-day movement. What are the numbers? I assume that it must be within IWC specs. At least I hope so.

    You're right. The 7-day innovation is a great feature. This 5021 clearly does not get enough wrist time...

    In my opinion there is nothing to worry about. Mine runs a bit fast, about 10 seconds a day. That is, after adjustment a few years ago, where the watch ran with quite some variation.

    As long as the abberation is less than a minute a week, I don't complain. When you have several watches and you wear them in circulation, chances are that you have to wind and set them anyway, so accuracy becomes less of an issue. But, truth be told, my watch probably will never get the 30110 accuracy of a Mark XVII. Having several additional complications, that is no surprise to me.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    My trio. I am not keen on big watches with little movements.
