    It appears that IWC has been listening to us. The variations on the new Pilots are terrific. The use of ceramic and titanium is important and answers many of our requests.
    I can just imagine all of the limited editions which will derive from these Pilots over the next few years. SC will need to buy another watch box for sure. LOL
    The new Miramar pieces, the world timer and the gold big date Spitfire are very interesting. Check out the plane rotor on the Spitfire. Awesome.
    Looking forward to trying these on this Thursday.

    Alan, you are spot on. This collection will spawn I am sure, many fantastic Limited Editions!

    ...and just maybe in one of those, there will also be some BLUE on the dial, especially for you.

    But for now, WOW - we have so much here that's new and indeed seems like IWC have been listening to the wishes of it's customers and collectors.

    Roll on Thursday!

    Best regards
    Mark

    Kudos to IWC for getting the information on the new watches online and in great detail. Very informative.
    Now it seems that the only thing to do is get some wrist time.

    I understand that many of these pieces will start rolling in to AD's beginning in April. Which means that there is less time to wait and decisions on purchases can be made soon.

    Interesting new line-up.

    Question on the new reference for the "regular" Big Pilot. Can Michael or anyone else with more knowledge comment on the new 5009 reference vs the 5004 reference?

    Any new changes to the movement/case or ?

    Cheers

    I'm looking forward to your wristshots and impressions when you try them on. I love this new lineup! I'm glad I'm home today so I can keep checking in on a frequent basis. Have a great time, Alan!

    Please see my reply to Nad earlier today on this very question.
