I happen to possess one of these puppies as well (the older Ceramic version) and it's quite a cool timepiece. I do enjoy that militaristic watch vibe. Did you know, Richard Habring was tapped by IWC to help design the Split-Seconds module of the movement?

Great looking tool watch, still blemish free after two months and a rare one to see in the wild! The rattrapante complication now warrantied for 8y by IWC-what confidence does that say?
