IWC Top Gun Miramar

Got to try one on today,
Can't say that i was too impressed though

Preferred the matt finish on the previous model and pusher had looked better pvd or rubbered, Also the date disc should have had the fake patina color to match the dial better.

I've only seen pics of that one, but I don't care for it. Gimmicky with the Top Gun tie-in, and I really really dislike the ever so popular fake patina. I get that the date wheel is contructed to look like some kind of altitude display, but it just looks goofy.

in my honest opinion that is an ugly combo of colours.
