...I've always thought that IWC were a bit rougher...not as well finished. And the modern IWCs are just too thick. Of these choices, I like the numerals compared to the markers.
IWC... I prefer frankly not to talk about that specific model
Among other things, the date of the IWC is not so well integrated (eaten markers). Best, E.
Far more refined watch, much better execution.
