IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph ��Ocean Racer��
Boat races and watches �C a weird and yet?seemingly ever-green combination. A few years ago, IWC joined the craze and has?chosen to sponsor the Volvo Ocean Race, a remarkably challenging, round-the-world race that starts this October in Alicante, Spain, and terminates in Gothenburg, Sweden, in June 2015. With regards to?IWC's role more specifically, the brand is?the event's Official Timekeeper, partner of?the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team, and sponsor of the 24-hour speed record.And while that does seem like a total overkill for someone not that?into the world of competitive sailing, this web of collaborations?does result in a surprisingly?restrained, yet sporty-looking chronograph that arguably makes a lot more sense than the sponsorship-frenzy behind it.

Blue AP RO?
SO I was in the AP dealer and they showed me a white SS 37mm RO that fit my small wrist perfectly. I said I wanted a blue, and she said there was a waiting list. I said fine.She then showed me another AP, the only blue in their store, and it was a very dark blue, almost a blue-black. That model was large and had complications. She said that was the actual color of AP blue so I should buy the white face.She gave me an AP catalog and when I got home and looked through it, the various APs, including the 37mm, were of the normal AP blue everyone knows and loves.Price of the one I want is 16K USD. Any thoughts on AP blue - has it changed or was she just using a sales technique to get me to buy the white dial?
