I'm with you Suvs - I'm thinking of a rose gold one with a dark face. Stunning watch.

I have the stainless steel with the black face - absolutely love it.

Go for it - you won't regret it!

Gay architects watch.

They`re lovely but hard to pull off without looking like a try-hard (IMHO etc etc).

Just thought I should mention that Dominic H offered me the exact same watch brand new at an excellent price.

As its a present I couldn't quite stretch to the extra few quid, but his service was great. Im not sure whether he would want me to say the offer on a public forum but have the email so PM me if you would like to know.

Cheers

Stunning, classic and with an in-house movement. Considering only those in the know would know what it is, how can this be a 'try-hards' watch?

You should, those green subs are really really minging. Are you still expecting over list for it?

TBH you should consider changing that showy tat for ANY watch.hehe

Dammit people, enough of the gloating and post some pictures! hehe

That does look very nice I have to say. I'm beginning to see what the fuss is about with IWC scratchchin

Anyway let's see some real world pics of this lovely watch. The different case and face combinations sound interesting!

ETA I don't think it looks particularly ghey... there are some watches out there that come with a salmon pink dial you know.....

Great watch. A mate has the blue dial as in the pics above. It is a very large watch however.

Slight aside did you look at the regulateur? Pure class ...
