    Congratulations - the pure classic is beautiful. Not quite as beautiful as the subject of your "Nad shot" but still quite nice. :) Seriously, that watch demonstrates the appeal of simplicity. Enjoy.

    Thanks Vishal.
    Have been eyeing the 500107 for a while now. Next trip, and I will get it.
    Problem is I have a thin wrist, anything above 40mm looks a bit odd on me
    (trying to build them, hopefully soon).
    Was lucky to get an IWC Portofino last year (40mm).
    Thanks for sharing, and a good collection.
    Cheers.

    I am so glad that my intuition was correct and that you had a reveal to make and that it was a " classic ". That is a really magnificemt watch and such a memorable trip too. Congratulations !

    I thought I read somewhere in the forum that it is 1 in 500 Black Dial and 1 500 White dial watches ? Correct me if I am wrong please.

    Hi Vishal,

    Congratulations!

    Thank you for the photos of HK and for sharing your new and very beautiful watch with us.

    This is a late comment but I've been unable to log in for some time and only now saw your post.

    I do hope you enjoyed HK, it's definitely one of my favorite places to visit.

    Cheers!

    Vishal, what an excellent posting, and fantastic reveal!

    MF, I and a select few lucky others welcome you to the Pure Classic owners club :~)

    Only discussion point is that Nad shot. I trust that you have complied by the rules (revision B - release I) of taking Nad Shots.....all photos' to be taken at RED LIGHTS onlymeaning stop all other activity - LOL

    @ Cinq - that cable-way is another bit of Swiss Precision there. It was an amazing project to build it and the Swiss cable-way engineers faced a number of challenges when building it.

    Are we all not oh so happy at Swiss mechanical engineering prowess!
