I was so disappointed in that watch. I love the way it looks in photos, but it feels like a toy.
IWC's approach to TI and ceramic is so behind the curve. It's pretty embarrassing. This is a basic watch, but it's sold at a basic watch price by a basic watch brand.
Looks great. I always wore mine (the date version, but same case) on natos, so the longer lugs never presented a problem. In fact, I like the 48mm LTL, gives the watch a nice presence.Denizen wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 1:19 pmMine came in earlier today...keeping it on the original strap for now.
The watch lugs are a little longer than I expected...or the springbar holes are slightly further out, anyway. If anyone has plans to pair this with a standard strap, be prapared for a slightly wider gap. Of course, that means it can accept a thicker strap...not that it needs one.
True to size at 38mm, but the wrist presense is a touch bigger...it's perfect, I think. 29mm on the dial, 31mm on the crystal.
I never owned the original so can't compare it that way. Cheap fun as these go...comparatively.
Thanks JP. It's partly the picture, and also I think my wrist has gotten even smaller. It's 48mm LTL, so about the same as a Rolex Sub. Kind of long for a 38mm watch.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 9:15 amLook good on you. The lugs look a little long for me, but it could be the picture.
A little long, but pretty similar to my Mark XV if I remember correctly. How's the thickness?jswing wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 9:30 amThanks JP.

It lacks girth at 9.5mm thick.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 9:31 amA little long, but pretty similar to my Mark XV if I remember correctly.

Thanks! I only really like natos on certain watches, but this watch to me is made for them. I have a box full of Terry's natos, but this is my first "Shiznit", and it's very luxurious as natos go.
They are super sturdy as well. I wear my 42mm Khaki Field with them most days for work and even through they are softer, they just don’t fray like most NATOs do over time. I have yet to have to take a lighter to any of them.
Thanks! Some people have bought and sold them in the time it took to get mine.demer03 wrote:Dang! You really did have to wait! Congrats!
Great to hear that. I don't wear one strap long enough anymore. I just rotate them.Torrid wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 10:00 amThey are super sturdy as well.
