BP for CF4

I'm afraid it would not work without that extra rattrapante button ;)

It may be a little while, but this was encouraging:
"keep the ideas coming guys ;) You never know ..." - Tonny

Black dial version of the Jubilee?? Slim case, black dial, and wicked hand cranked movement? Yes, please!

To build on the Rattrapante idea from WHISTLERBC, I think something like this could be doable:

Absolutely yes! Classy, simple, represents a core IWC family and (hopefuly)affordable.

Hmmm maybe this one would be even better!

I fixed my rattrapante concept - I like the straps on the Portofino monopusher and I think they would work well in this design:

While I would love to see a Portuguese 8-day hand-wound to be the next CF, I am wondering...

how about a stainless steel Portofino Mono-pusher as CF4? People mentioned about affordability... currently, the monopusher is only available on precious metal. Releasing a stainless steel version of it, and limiting to say 250 pieces, would make it a good gift to the collectors. Wouldn't you agree?

I definitely agree it would be nice.

I don't want to be a spoilsport, and I don't have any insider information on this, but I do have two concerns. First, making an extra production batch of 250 stainless steel cases just for this watch might be a non-starter for IWC. Second, a 45 mm diameter might limit the number of prospective buyers too much.

Of course, my concerns may be just unnecessary fuss over non-issues...

Here's another take on the "CF4 - 50 Years of Aquatimers" theme: A slight patina look on dial and a matching rubber strap.

Hopefully it would be possible to have it with the new 42000 caliber movement.

Selecting an Aquatimer as a basis for the CF4 would have the benefits of smaller size at 42mm, and presumably lower cost. These factors should increase the number of prospective buyers.

Very nice! I'd love to see that design in a vintage series Aquatimer case.

OK, so this one may be an unlikely candidate, as it would be another Pilot's watch, a big one, and a bit more complex to create. Still, I sometimes wonder, why don't they just...

A Big Pilot "classic" created in three easy ( or so I believe ) steps
1. Remove the power reserve indicator
2. Remove the date indicator
3. Fix dial accordingly with appropriate arabics

Nice look!
But this is like putting x-drive technology for cars into a motorbike, unless you use another movement eg the 30110. But then it would not be a BP anymore but a Mark VIII ...

I don't think the modifications required to cal 51111 are that difficult, or radical.

Removing the date window does not necessarily require any modification at all to the movement. Just leave the date window out of the dial. IWC has done it at least once before for the MK XII EF limited edition. It will of course mean that there is an unused date-setting position on crown, but that does not bother me.

Also, removing the power reserve indicator from 51111 should not require any magic. As far as I know, it could be done by simply leaving out few parts.

hello someone could tell me that exact model is this watch iwc

I think it makes no sense to deface a 51111 movement - just my two cents ...
