I'm considering these two from IWC. The Top Gun ceramic chrono and the ss pilot chrono. This is the blue but I'm also liking the black and the green face.
Also, tried on, but didn't take pics of the BP 43 and the BP 43 Top Gun. I was a little uncertain if they were a little too simple? I really like the layout of the larger BPs with the subdial but that's way too big for my wrist.

This weekend they're having a sale "up to" 10% off some IWC models. But I'm hopeful I can talk the SA into getting the 10% off one of these.

My heart is pulling me toward the Top Gun. It's badass and stealth, something I like. Especially nowadays, I like people not noticing the bling on my wrist a block away. But not certain of the IWC ceramic, as the display model already had little scuff marks on it.

But I also really like this blue dial. It's cheaper as well. But will I regret not spending a bit more for the TG? Maybe, or maybe not!

Does anyone have experience with IWC ceramics and how they have held up? Price isn't too big a factor as much as which one I'd be happier with.

Do they not discount these anymore typically??

I don’t know, are they typically discounted? Should I expect 10 or more percent off?

I have always loved the look of the Top Gun, and if they ever make it in the 41 mm size I am in. My wrist is too small to pull off the current one, but it is fantastic!

I typically got 15% but no idea the market for them the last few years

If you are leaning towards the blue dials/SS, I'd get the newer model.

Yes, if I went blue chrono, would be the newer model.

But I'm thinking I go ceramic. I will shop around more and see if I can get a bigger discount as these models seem readily available as opposed to Rolex.

Check out the new ceratanium chrono 41. It’s an incredible watch but unfortunately quite a bit more $
