IWC

Picked up my watch from IWC Boutique in Ginza this morning.  Over the year end the date jumped from 2017 to 2118 and had gone in for an overhaul... my papers are in storage but as far as I remember the Spitfire Perpetual Calendar Ref.3757-02 LE was purchased in 2005-06 (?).  Over 10 years and still +/- seconds per month... except for the century ; )

The IWC Boutique in Ginza presented a nice travel case, unexpected and a nice touch.

A big IWC fan so I Looked at the pilot watches... I prefer white / light dials but did not love the off white Mark XVIII... the blue face was nice (even blue-er would work IMHO) also the indigo (off black) face limited edition w/ ceramic case... 

Appreciation for the big pilot watch in SS, titanium, or bronze the latter two with indigo dial...

Such lovely pieces on offer... I was lucky to escape with a promise to visit again soon.

cshimokita,

It can jump 100 years in a blink: It's a time machine!

One of the better perpetual calendar watches that truly is for the next generation...they even give you future century discs to replace the old ones.

Is the IWC boutique in Namiki dori?

It's my daily wear watch... I was surprised by the new bracelets on the IWC pilot watches... mind you it's been awhile since I looked.

No message body

Not sure what the industry standard is for overhaul work but they slapped a two year warranty on the watch which I appreciated. Just happy to have it back on the wrist. Casey

Typically the service warranty is 1 year at least for IWC and Patek which I have experience with.
Rolex might be more now since their new watch warranty is 5 years witch is the longest in the industry.

Beautiful watch. Wear it in good health.

Good to see it's back!

Should be a hot summer and has to be a bracelet, so it's a toss up between the two... What to wear on the planned over seas trip, mmmm we'll see ; )

Would be a tough choice!

The joy of having a watch back from service is almost like having a new one.

and we were comparing service (overhaul) prices vs. original list price... the percentage is about the same in both locations. Re: non-photo forum post... hahaha... I do have a small collection and I understand that many of the watch guys also take photos ; )
