IWC Gets Bored; Rebrands A Top Gun Automatic Chronograph Watch To A Limited Edition For the German National Football Team
Lets not use the term recycling, but that is pretty much what IWC is doing right here. But this happens a lot, and if there was a watch to release, this would be the one. The IWC Pilots Watch? Chronograph Automatic Top Gun Edition was a really nice, and really desirable watch. Forget the movie tie in for a moment, and look at its handsome instrumental good looks, nice color contrast, and complex functions with the double chronograph. Apparently it did not matter to IWC that Top Gun actually game over 20 years prior to releasing the watch, there could be NO OTHER military plane related movie that would suffice. It was, and still is a very nice watch, and the world is ready for some derivatives!Well, the IWC Ref. IW371803 is a newish version of the IWC Top Gun. Its actually not fair to call it an exact copy.

Green vs dark brown original box
I have noticed that some AP's come with a green box and some with a dark brown box... what is the difference? Is one an older style box and one newer?

This is a First
Well it was a first for me anyways. It came in a dark brown plastic wrapper and it was delivered just today. It was my first issue of the Patek Philippe The International Magazine.Looks like I've got some reading to do.Oh, the last page says that theree will be a new portion on the website dedicated to owners this fall. It will be located at: patek/owners.

Did someone say Oysterflex?
I got a text from the guy at my AD that they had recently received a WG Oysterflex Daytona, and that I should come and check it out.They had all 3 of the gold Oysterflex Daytonas in the showcase today:Love the dial on the WG:YG is also very attractive, and I typically hate YG watches:RG also has a totally different personality, it manages to look very elegant on rubber. Shame about the dial legibility.Between the three, the WG was my favourite by far, with the RG a distant last. I didn't walk out with either of the three, but I think the WG is on my shortlist for one day. Which one do you like the most?

Deepsea blue
Anyone know an AD that has one in stock right now? I'm trying to buy for my brother, it's a birthday gift and want it from AD... thanks in advance.
