That's a beauty, Fred. Can definitely see the family resemblance and the color of that strap is a great fit with the watch. BTW, I don't hate croc, it just doesn't grab me. I feel like I should like it more but for some reason I don't...

Since you posted photos, I'll add another one. This shows off the strap better. I don't know why I didn't post it on Monday.

(Yes, I know, the minute hand is blocking the date. Sorry...)

I don't know the UK price but starting with the Swiss price and adjusting for taxes and currency conversion gives £4800...

Wow, now I REALLY like that, CH-dmath! It looks so much better in your pictures than in the publicity shots. Great pick-up! :thumbsup:

Thank you, Driver. It's surprising how many bad official photos there are. IWC's online photo of the new Spitfire is criminally bad -- it doesn't come close to showing off that gorgeous watch. Zenith did a little better but, Monsieur Dufour, if you're reading this, I'm available. :P

This watch does have great lume. I like the chrono second hand - disconnected and floating around the watch.
