Thanks George
It was fun. Did a total double-take when I saw it in the window! 'That looks a lot like....oh my it is!' hahahaha.
It's a hard to find watch. The LE numbers go xxx/500, but the special Asian batch is only 300-399, and excudes all numbers with a four in it. Sort of controversial I guess, but the watch is just so sweet.
Anyway, so 80 pieces only if I have my facts straight.

80110 from JLC?
Hi Dean, I'd love to hear more too. It's been a while since I followed the story of IWC's 80110 movement, but I seem to recall it was an inhouse development project, and not built by JLC from cal 875 (Autotractor). I also thought that the winding systems ...
That's what I remember too, Tom
This is the first I've heard of a JLC connection. And aren't the layouts of the two movements, JLC 97X and IWC 80110, quite distinct, along with their winding systems, etc.? Are the sizes similar? DJK
