Plane has landed

A few weeks back I posted a thread as I was contemplating between a 233 vs. 2016 IWC BP. I currently own a 557 and 425. After further assessment I pulled the trigger on the new 2016 IWC BP with the number "9" and original location of the index triangle. My PAMs have a different feel but this BP is in another level. It feels nostalgic watching the second hand sweeps and a pure bliss to wear on your wrist. Don't get me wrong I love my PAMs but to be honest its tends to get boring when they have numerous iterations of the same watch. Please enjoy the pics and thanks again for all your feedback.

Congrats! Great watch (not that the BP isn't pretty similar from iteration to iteration).

I love the BP, I've yet to add one myself but I always thought it would be a good fit alongside my Panerai.
