Moved out of the Rolex GD area, and into its appropriate sub-forum......

Congrats on the crono. A simple and classy dial!

Thanks fellas. The wife actually picked this one out and green lighted me. Her only condition was no more Rolex! Inhouse movement and display back and something different from what I already have.

I really like that chrono with the sub dials at 12 and 6. Is the size of the watch 40mm...?

It's 42mm. Unfortunately, they did make it thicker and it is now 14.5mm.

The iwc has a nicely balanced and tasteful dial, quite in a similar style to the patek, you can see some of the similarities

Very nice model.

I like the dial showing full numerals on both sides and leaving out the 6 & 12 (and of course the 3).

Much better than chopping out parts of the numerals as on some IWC dials.

Update: two weeks after purchasing and it's back at the AD. Flyback feature wasn't working and the watch crapped out. Very disappointing, but I'm hoping IWC and he AD do the right thing..l
