IWC Deserves better ....
Hi I read the entire thread relating to the vintage watches being launched by IWC for the 140th anniversary and was troubled by the fact the many members were critical of the use of ETA movements by IWC and expressed that they would rather prefer a watchm...
Wow, Narsi,that's a great defense!
