Dropped by the IWC boutique at Pavilion and met up with Sani. Had a nice little chat to introduce me into the exotic world of International Watch Co. Schaffhausen. :thumbsup:



By the way Sani, thanks for the few "racun" given :laugh:. I"ll try NOT to look at them.

To be honest, we're much of the time talking about the Inge only, so I didn't even ask him about that 8 days (nor do I pretend that I know much about that watch :D).

Been browsing through some of the literatures donated by Sani. Hmmmm ... bad idea! :HammerHead:

Was torn between this and the IWC AMG Inge. I guess the winner is clear to be seen.  ;D

Manburg,

Nice pair.

Thanks Hobbit! :Cheers:

Just wanted to point out a fact to the unsuspecting eyes. If you look at the GMT-Master, the numbers on the bezel (8 - 16) are all arranged upside down (when the bezel is at its natural position). And now look at the Exp. II bezel, whereby those same numbers are arranged normally. Underlying rationale (IMHO): one is rotatable whilst the other is fixed.
