Well Thomas my friend you are correct! I can say I don't have a favorite but I do have a favorite for each company I love!

Some superb & beautiful chronos, including a handful of excellent vintage pieces.

Though, I would like to add a special thanks to both Ken & Khalid for showing us their amazing pieces :)

Now has anyone, yet got the new Datograph?
I love the changes made to this amazing watch :)

The only watch Model I have bought and sold three times:Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1362089031.321359.jpg Views: 333 Size: 84.6 KB
In fact, I just sold a ref. 3704 (latest version) because I bought my grail non-chrono Nautilus.

I still look for them every now and again. I love the 7750 movement and no one does it up as nice as IWC.

Thanks and my wrist is 7 1/4 but the RB2 is not 46mm. Most people that list them list them with wrong size. FYI
