Already a classic watch ...
I had one, leather strap, and I don't remember why I let it go.
I believe that it was during my ETA less period.
I'm always hunting one but its hard to show up in good conditions.
Enjoy yours, as you stated, the last sub 40mm great flieger.
Cheers,

They dun make them like they used to !
Ah Steve! A piece that I am actively hunting, to complete the set. What u have is the very desirable earlier model with the T Dial! Yes, it does bulge from the case back as u said, therefore the bracelet for me is a must, since both are heavy watches, and...
I concur...but I humbly opine that they are "better" then before!!!
i think IWC cases have actually improved over the last 10 years!! we have a IWC GTG 2morrow, I will see if I can demonstrate my point of view. My favourite IWC of all time is still the 5251, I have also made sweeping statements that "they dont make them a...
Agree that it is a wonderful and very wearable watch, but...
I politely disagree that it was released in 2006/7. I think it was a full decade earlier. At least I bought mine in '98 :) I first bought it on the strap but upgraded to the bracelet after a couple of years and must say that I like the way it looks on a s...
Your are right !
It was first released in "T Dial" and subsequently in "L Dial". My only regret is that mine is an L, not T Dial. Yours makes me drool ... Thanks for weiging in, Nikolaj. Splendid backdrop of your wrist shot !
