I guess if by selling it to their AD means sold out, I have no shadow of doubt that they have hit their target every year. Afterall, 19,000 pieces per year is way lesser than its arch rival, AP and PP.

A friend of mine has been asking me to go for a limited edition two tone overseas dual time since early this year. Last week when we went to the boutique, we still managed to see the piece there. as i said, VC used to be mainland chinese only love (beside piaget) last time. But PP and Rollie have been going strong. More and more mainlanders reckon that PP is a 'better watch' and 'more high class' than VC. I have no shadow of doubt that VC is making impeccable watch. However, I for one believe in market force and i wont get too happy if i know my watch has very low resell value. I think VC has to stride harder if it wants to stay competitive among the holy trilogy.

I've actually been saving up since I started my collection with omega Seamasters and planet oceans. Gradually bought a bell & Ross just to find out that FJ Benjamin inflated their damned prices in Malaysia.

After that I just thought it was time that I joined the IWC club. My first purchase was this

Now I've graduated to my dream watch

thanks ! not much photo taken last time, sad to let go but i would say its the best IWC dressy watch i ever owned, it stands out the most i can see people keep starring at my wrist. IWC are well known in making finest dressy watch especially the holy trilogy you have there

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing these, David. I just can't get enough of all the IWC dna in there. The size is also just nice. It's not just the case and name which they retain for this classic model, but they displayed all the technical aspect of IWC in this watch, from the shock-absorbers to the pellaton winding system which are uniquely. It's IWC in and out.

There's something very fundamental about his calibre and this package as whole that is disturbingly attractive, and as you put it, seems to have its own attraction. Anyone can do a 3 hand watch but what a 3 hand watch this is! Cheers!

you were right sidesteaker, even their entry Portofino are very detail in every single aspect

sunburst dial

highly polished hand

never owned a aquatimer, should be easy to remove spring bar and change any other 3rd party leather/rubber strap, bracelet should be harder..

i'd recomm isofrane rubber strap
