Just popped in to town this morning and had a look in my local AD, Parkhouse. They now sell IWC and have an extensive range, I windowed shopped at least £50k in IWC's alone that I would add to my collection! Would have taken some photos but they have a fairly high level of security there and they might have thought I was scoping the place out as my regular contacts in there weren't around!!

They also had some very nice Breitlings in stock including the latest Chronomatic 1461 limited edition and again I think I blew an additional £50k virtual budget on Breitlings.

Some of the Bell & Ross models they have in are quite nice, still overall undecided about the brand................

One of my favourite combos! Have my black dial World on today, on the SS bracelet though but I love it on the black croc.

I haven't actually seen that particular combo but I know it would be deadly. :guns:

I think the white stitching combined with the little white on the world would look so nice.

Hey Stef I think Parkhouse have lost their Bentley franchise haven't they? Last time I was there they seemed to have no Bentleys at all. Didn't know they'd got an IWC franchise now. Cool! :D

Now you come to mention it, I don't recall seeing any B4B's. More than made up for it with the IWC collection, my other half particularly liked the Big Pilot.

Well your wife's obviously got good taste in that regard Stef! :wink:

I had a little look in Parkhouse's window today myself - quite a nice range of IWC's. I was surprised to see a BI and a BP there, especially as I was on a waiting list at Charles Fox in Bournemouth for almost a year before I found mine! :roll: Good to see the Top Gun Dopplechrono there too, although the list of 7950 GBP is a little step considering it's not an in-house movement or anything! :shock: Love the ceramic cases on those Top Gun pieces though.

talk about blowing a virtual budget - the Langematik Perpetual from Lang & Sohn would be the holy grail for me ... and it would well and truly blow any virtual or real budget to kingdom come. Just a beautiful beautiful watch.
