New IWC

I had recently come to the conclusion that I would never be able to afford a PP 5078P ( a true Grail? ), so I opted for the "common man's" minute repeater. Without further ado...



And of course...

Great value repeater for sure. You can get 10 for the price of the PP!

Wow, this is a fabolous timepiece in its own right. I hope you will be able to enjoy it in full regardless of the existence of the PP. unfortunately it is easy to get carried away but the PP grand complication really get into another dimension which becomes almost pointless (as if any watch above $200 is not already pointless anyway)

Thanks, and I will for certain enjoy this piece. I won't have to worry as much as wearing a several 100-k timepiece.

Nice but I'm surprised the sub dial's hand doesn't have an end cap on the gear as my Stowa does.
