Icon12 Back In The Fold

Well, after some "soul searching," I got another one back that should have never left the stable. Here she is and I couldn't be happier.

Superb watch

The BP along with the Portugese range are my favourite IWC's.

Excellent decision bringing it back into your fold.

NICE
Missing my 5004 BP lots. I do see another (perhaps the 5002) in my future though

I don't know if I'm in the minority, but I have no issues going from a 39mm AP RO to this 46.2mm BP. I like the way they all fit!

Congrats on getting the BP back in your collection. I miss my 5002 lots as well, and hopefully I can get it back into my collection some day as well.

Enjoy the BP!!

Cheers,
James
