Brief encounter with Le Petite Prince's Mark XVII

[chiewata]

Just a very brief encounter probably 10 minutes with the latest LPP Mark XVII at IWC Boutique in Hong Kong International Airport

The blue dial is so nice......









And a chance to try on my friend's Da Vincci over a coffee chat

Long time no hear bro 

Yes bro been busy bee, I finally found this for my wife , she is Le Petite Prince's fans

With the special seconds hand and unique etched case-back, how much more ($) was it from the basic IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVII?

[TheHobbit]

Very nice indeed. Congrats. I like Le Petite Prince as well.

I am in no mean to offend anyone, but sorry I may not want to discuss the price here merely because someone will come in n say he or she can get cheaper that kind of crap, or they know who n who can get this n that, the watch is merely for my wife because I promised her to get her something special so its beyond the dollar n cents as we had gone thru a lot for the last 2 years.

A lot of things is better to be appreciated without the dollar sign, its the love and appreciation of something is more important.

Technically the watch is not mine, I just go to HKIA pay and someone from IWC will deliver it to my wife as a special surprise.

But one little thing that I am not very happy with IWC is that, in US the same watch package will include a 70th anniversary LPP storybook n CD but over here in APAC there's none. If someone bought it with the same package as US in APAC region please let me know, I will make some noise.

Thank you for all who appreciate my sharing

You confirm some chatter I've heard about this non-completeness of the package, hence the reason for the question about the $. Best for you to make noise with IWC international (main HQ). The extra premium you pay should be inclusive of the story book and CD in a nice package. Otherwise they may just put it in a standard IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVII

Well thanks for the heads up will wrote to IWC on this matter but the premium for LPP Edition is much more then the book and CD if you care to study it carefully.

Wrote an email to IWC pertaining the "deluxe gift set" of 70th Anniversary LPP hardcover storybook and CD, below is the reply:

My affair with IWC is over, this is a deliberate discrimination between customers of different region.
