Thanks Silvers,

First saw it from Taiwanese watch magazine, and I grabbed this IWC the moment it was launched.

Cocobean,
Wow. Another great watch in your collection. I like the extent of modification done by IWC to the base Valjoux 7750 caliber. You can hardly tell that the ETA workhorse is ticking inside this watch.
And somehow I get the feeling that you prefer white dials.

I had checked again on my memory card, no clear picture of 'her' taken , camera setting was on closed-up mode all time. But she looks absolutely gorgeous , kind of korean - japs mixed . I took few quick shots on my watch with her as backdrop when my wife went to buy us coffee and pastry. Also, taking picture of a lady when go out with your wife is very bad idea, you know what womans will react LOL .

Thanks danny,

IWC even modified Valjoux 7750 and house in few of their 'Grand Complication' models. I remember reading from somewhere that this movement has among the largest room for add on complication and modification to suit diff design requirement. And due to its long established background, it is also well known for its stability except the movement doesn't look so great when expose with transparent caseback . My PAM00050 & ML Chrono also housed the same movement .

As for i prefer white dial, i will say it very much depends on the overall design . Gonna show my last collection in black dial .
