Fits under the shirt cuff!! And you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get a classic men's dress watch :)

I love it! Do you have any movement shots of the cal 89?
If you haven't seen it already the IWC app magazine has a great article on the calibre.

Of this particular watch, I do yea - I did a decent amount of research before pulling the trigger on this one. Good workhorse movement.

Is the IWC magazine available online for free? I've read a few older articles on the Cal 89, but nothing recent.

I've sold my expensive watch(es) recently and have been looking for variety and value, which this certainly has compared to the prices of modern gold dress watches (ouch!) But it has the Calatrava look that I love in a 35mm size. Anything smaller than that is too small for me. Poor man's Calatrava :)

Love it. Looks like a porcelain dial.

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't believe (??) it's a porcelain dial - doesn't appear to be that way in person and I don't think any of these came with porcelain dials, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi! Got any pics? I've seen these with the Dauphine hands as well as the more pointed sword/dagger hands, and numerous case styles. Curious what yours looks like.
