initiates a conversation amongst those principals, as to why, whatever its genesis, the fantastic design of this pilot's watch, so much more appealing to me, and many others [based on the views of this thread] [and that is only amongst those who visit/read WatchProSite, not the world watch buyers writ large], why such great [and not Herculean] designs are not produced on a wider scale for those, like me, who would buy one in a heartbeat. Should anyone from the leadership team at IWC care to discuss this with me, I am here and would be thrilled to hear from them!
