Historical Perspectives: The IWC Ceramic Fliegerchronograph Reference 3705, A Look Back At A Rare Mo
One of the rarest and most interesting IWC watches of the last few decades is one that a lot of newer IWC clients and fans might not even have heard of: the long out-of-production reference 3705, ceramic cased “Fliegerchronograph” or Pilot’s Chronograph. The Fliegerchronograph was first introduced by IWC in 1994 (a follow-on from an almost completely forgotten hybrid quartz-mechanical watch, the 36 mm “Pilot’s Watch Chronograph,” which debuted at the Dübendorf Airfield, near Zurich, all the way back in 1988). The ceramic cased "Fliegerchronograph Keramik" 3705 was introduced in the same year as the standard stainless steel version, reference 3706. We covered 3705 in a comparison with a modern ceramic IWC pilot's chrono almost four years ago, so we thought it might be time to take another look. 1 OF 7 3705 was not the first ceramic cased watch made by IWC. The company had experimented with zirconium oxide ceramic as ea

Need your valued opinions!
Hello all, new here to the forum but a long time lurker. Always been into rolex (sub 14060M, Explorer II, both gone), now a DJII fluted bezel blue dial and a sub 114060, but....recently contemplating an AP 15400 blue dial. As many I do have some doubts about the size so I would like to hear your opinionsOfcourse, at the end of the day I should buy the watch if I like it, but would like to hear your thoughts anyway! (and btw, I think the 15450 dial is too small, and 15300 you can't get new anymore..)The pictures are of a rosegold version a tried on at the AD.

PP Clock
I was wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these PP clocks in person and if they have any opinion. They look nice and was thinking of trying to find one. I have been wanting a mechanical table clock and thought perhaps a Patek?

Gold Daytona owners ... Lend me your ears!
I'm intrigued by the PM Daytonas as the prices of SS climbs and the PM price stays relatively static.My question, for you owners, if you bought one of the models on leather (116519 or 116518) do you regret not getting a bracelet model?Thanks

2018 Rolex Submariner with Tungsten Carbide Case and bracelet?
Tungsten has a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale. It is very difficult to machine. Some are doing it though in making watches, rings, and jewelry.I wonder if Rolex would consider this for a Submariner? It is virtually scratch proof and it is my understanding that it weighs about the same as gold.Using Tungsten would ensure the watch would not get all beat up -- ever. This might not be so good for a company that probably wants their products to be somewhat consumable in that they show signs of wear and tear and eventually a Rolex owner might say This one is looking too beat up. Time to get a new one.In my opinion, Tungsten would be an amazing step forward in Rolex case and bracelet construction. But I doubt we will see it anytime soon.
