    Great photos Alan. The world timer strap and deployant look wider than the one on your BPP. Is that correct or is it a photo optical illusion? Thanks and keep the photos coming for all of us "at home"!

    Is Samoa now on the other side of the Date Line? Maybe a small lack of research by IWC there.

    I have a perhaps indelicate question. And if this is not permitted, Michael, please delete. Has the MSRP for the Spitfire Perpetual Calendar been released? Also, is there a plan to make it available in stainless steel so that it might be a bit more affordable? Thanks!

    Hey Alan, that Worldtimer looks great on your wrist! Is it heavy?

    The one thing I was not so fond of in my St-Ex UTC was that it 'wore' very light for a 44mm watch :-(

    Btw, that Sushi plate looks so familiar, hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Keep them coming!

    Nad, Yes that plate and setting look familiar - but Hey Who cares about that - when THE WATCHES ARE ALL NEW !!!

    I do believe that your will be pleasantly surprised by how the WorldTimer sits on the wrist.

    Best regards

    Alan, looking very dandy there might I add!

    ...and Nad is 100% correct, that watch does look good on your wrist.

    Best regards

    Alan (or anyone),

    could you please try on the Spitfire chrono and take some photos? I'm dying to see it. It appeals to me the most amongst the newly announced pilot watches.
    (The Spitfire PC appeals to me too, but it is totally out of my league).

    Thanks!

    Kevin says it wears a little heavier than the UTC.

    Alan, fantastic photos and report. It brings back wonderful memories. Tomorrow will be the challenge to get all the photos you want as the collector's rush to the table for the touch and feel session.

    What's on for tonight in Geneva?

    Yes, there is a price but it varies by market. Kindly contact your authorized dealer for that (price issues are not forum topics, in part due to market/currency differences).

    There are no plans now to release the watch in stainless steel.
