Suggestions on this left handed?

Yesterday I was proposed this watch. Looks like it is a limited edition and wanted to know if some of you already have one. 

Only thing is a bit expensive considering the type of watch...any thoughts?

cheers and thanks

So for me the right hander is an interesting proposition that solves this problem. I haven't seen it in person but looks good in pictures, similar to a Swiss air force limited edition IWC did a while back (if my memory serves me correctly). As for the pri...

I agree that some panerais have this and called “Destros” but for a BP I believe it looks ugly and weird. Just my humble opinion of course! Best, Laurent

Seems to be another one of those limited editions that appears to be too widely available in too many places. I was offered one as well and it seemed like they needed to make the sale...

Don't fall for IWC's limited editions game. In the same shop the limited Tribute to Mark XI was also readily available. Sought after limited editions don't sit in the shop for years after they were released... With all of that being said, I want to make i...
