IWC: Totally Swiss in Design and Quality
With a deep connection to functionally thematic luxury sports watches, IWC rejected an approach to look at decisions which focuses on the shape in the course of the function. In recent years a survey, IWC, who is appointed for a price of Luxist, increased to take into account the brand of watches, top luxury among the rich Americans. Frequently observed on the wrists of athletes for the actors and bankers, the broad adoption of Watches IWC proves that love watch wants timepieces with the roots of the utilities.IWC Watches are divided between two major styles, with offers on the theme of activity such as pilot or Aquatimer diving watches and classical styles of "thinking person such as the mega popular timepieces of Portuguese or Ingeniuer".

3rd time's a charm
Courtesy of Davidsw, i just acquired a 15300 white in absolutely flawless condition. I've owned this reference twice in the past but flipped both times as they were in less than stellar shape. This one is immaculate. Will be a permanent member of my collection this time.

I can't seem to get accustomed to the small size
I'm used to 40mm+ watches.

The Kermit.. I want one , not sure why.
I have a two tone blue sub. Bought new. I never wear it. It attracts a bit much attention. Can anyone help me decide between a black bezel sub or the Kermit. I don’t care for the hulk. I saw an LV Kermit locally but passed on it. I shouldn’t have. Anyway, I welcome thoughts from Kermit owners. I might sell the blue sub outright in 10years. I’ll certainly make my money back and then some. I’m not sure why I like the Kermit. Is this anyone’s daily watch? Just asking thoughts. It’s subtle, different, durable, and flies under the radar. When I wear the bluesy sub, people look at it. It makes me uncomfortable because I keep thinking I’ll get robbed, plus I’m just not into vanity. What can I expect to pay, I wonder. The pre owned one I saw was 9200$ which I thought was insanely high. It had a few scratches , but it is before Xmas and it seems people have lost their minds paying 11k for Batman gmts. Reportedly..I find the Kermit beautiful . Real
