IWC 3239 - New to me

I have been wanting a Genta design with a white dial for some time and found this recently on DSW site. At 40mm it solved the problem I had being in between sizes of the AP RO. Really glad I love it since it saves me a lot of coin now that I am able to stop thinking AP...

Love it! It’s a shame they went away from the Genta design!

Congratulations. I personally like the looks of it better than the Royal Oak.

Agreed. They killed the essence of the watch with the new release.

3239 is a nice looking watch.

I do have a question though. Is it a Genta design? Or Genta-inspired design?

Good question, I think this watch borrows heavily from the original Genta designed watch. But I could be wrong

One of the best designs out there. Soon to be a major classic, as IWC decided to drop this wonderful option from the collection...

Already? It has not been in production long.

Edit: I just visited their site, the new version looks pretty generic.
