Very happy with my new IWC!!!

Hy everybody!

Though I don't write too much in this impressing forum, I always enjoy reading through the interesting articles or admiring timepieces from IWC-collectors from all over the world.

Since a while, I was looking for a IWC for daily use, because at the moment I own the RG Portuguese 7 Days and a Portofino from the 90's. So I thought about the Mark XVI /XVII, the pilot chronos 3717/3777 and about the different UTC models.

In the end, I decided for the Spitfire UTC Ref. 3251, because of its 3-dimensional dial and the second timezone complication which makes the dial balanced very well.

No more words, here it is:

regards Philippe

Congratulations, that's a great and very comfortable watch. I have the older version, where the UTC display is on the upper half of the watch:

The bracelet looks great, maybe I should start searching for one too! For now, I have a black croco, brown buffalo and original tan croco strap for this watch :-)

Enjoy your new beauty and wear it in good health.

Kind regards,

Clemens

Congratulations, Philippe, an excellent choice, great watch on a perfect bracelet. I love mine as well and you are right, the 3-D dial gives that extra kick. Not to mention the legibility at night...

Congrats on your new watch.
Just an info. This was the first version of the Spit.

Congratulations, very nice watch indeed! Enjoy it.

Clemens, yours would have almost been my first IWC. I went for the Spitfire Doppel then, but still like the design of yours...

No more words - the picture says it all.

Great watch to add to your collection.

A great addition... congrats Philippe - wear it in good health!

Congratulations Phillipe ! The spitfire UTC is a beauty & it is nice to see someone on the forum acquiring it. Great shots.

Vishal.

nicely done. big congratulations and enjoy it. I am eyeing for a 325105 UTC (black dial) myself. I find the 24-hour date wheel to be the best travel companion there is.

Great addition. Congratulation.

thank you for all the kind words!

@cinq: Your "older" UTC Spitfire looks great on your brown strap!!

Congratulations and enjoy!

Congrats, one of my favorites...

Congrats - the detail in that dial does look fantastic and the bracelet is beautiful as well.

In a similar style, I have the St Ex UTC and I love the placement of the dial with the second time zone in the lower half. As Shing said, that layout makes for a great travel companion.

Very nice with the silver dial!

My black dialed cousin says hallo:D

Greta watch with THE best complication and as only iwc can simplify it!

Hello IWC folks, been trying to post a comment with my new IWC UTC picture. Sounds silly but how can I attach a picture - struggling to get it right?

Many thanks,
