BP for CF4

... I would love to have a Big Pilot for the next Collectors' Forum watch -
what would you prefer?

BP for me too

Portuguese!!

As much as I would love a CFBP something from one of the other lines would be great. Aquatimer?

I would love a CFBP, but wouldn't expect another pilot very soon.

Portuguese for me as well!

A Markus Buehler BP :):)

An Aquatimer would be excellent...with a special ocean blue color scheme.

As CF1 was an Inge, CF2 a Da Vinci, and CF3 a Pilot's watch, I'd say it's time for a Portugieser.

Considering that the price would have to remain at reasonable level to make it commercially viable to IWC, I think the candidates could be:
- Portugieser hand wound eight days
- Portugieser Automatic
- Portugieser Chronograph Classic

In somewhat wilder speculation: Maybe there could be a new version of a 3714 with a new two register version of the 69xxx caliber ;)

What I'd like to see is a Portugieser hand wound eight days with a white dial and blue arabics and hands.

Something similar to this?

Yes. Change the silver dial to lacquered white one, so it would be something like this:

Portugieser for me as well. Jiipee already suggested very good models.
My favorite: The recently relaunched 3712 rattranpante, but in steel, with the new caliber 69000. Delicious. ;-)

Hear ye!
Great ideas, gents, great ideas. I think the BP is more a wish than realistic possibility. The hand wound Portuguese looks great - like it! Also heard rumors about the bronze AT ... and nobody mentioned the Portofino line ... :-)

Here's another idea.

Since 2017 marks the 50th birthday of Aquatimer, and the introduction of new 42000 caliber movements, how about an Aquatimer with a caliber 42000 and a dial that's a homage to those old 812 ADs. Something like this:

JIIPEE I too love the idea of an Aquatimer CF4 to tie in with the 50th anniversary.

(My first forum post in many years :-)

Portuguese all the way. My suggestion would something more along the lines of the Jubilee - just clean, classic and gorgeous :-)

If IWC would make it possible for us to have a 4th Collectors Forum watch, I would be thrilled. There are many great ideas in this thread, so let's keep our fingers crossed.
