Incoming IWC

Never even considered a pilot watch due to most being ginormous until I saw the Petit Prince (40mm) in blue. I feel a bit like a lemming off a cliff given the popularity of this model recently (which I always avoid like the plague as I only own one watch of 30+ that's still in production), but was mesmerized. It's entry level IWC, but still....

Other folks' wrist shots.

Great watch, its got a classic dial and those hands are excellent.
Its good to see this in 40mm as for so many years the predecessors were on the small side.

After a few days on the wrist, recommend it highly. Also, Jomashop still has it $400 off so it's under $3K. I ordered it 2-day for a few dollars more and it showed up the next day. Perfect, new in box. It's running +.3 on the wrist.

Now my wrist shots from the beach instead of the prior borrowed ones.
