IWC

This new Le Petit Prince edition in 36 mm is quite intriguing. Unlike IWC's other 36 mm iterations it has no date and gets the 120 hours (5 days) power reserve 32102 movement. And, you probably don't have to rob a bank... $5300... 😉 ...  

...OK, it looks nice but probably something I would buy for a lady...

My main reason for not getting it was they didn't have the bracelet available for it yet and I wanted option available at time of purchase. ...

That's likely why it doesn't have the EasX-CHANGE® strap system either.

...but I have never tried one on at that size. I have only worn the larger ones, and wished they were 38-39mm instead.

and, yes, a bracelet would be nice too.

Would have even been better without 'Automatic' on the dial especially as it is a smaller dial.
