"Sometimes you just want to strap on a badass watch"

Words of an IWC salesman. Fortunately for me I already had this one strapped
to my wrist:

Wow, the platinum 5005 - an absolutely fantastic "badass" watch! I had the
steel version on a steel bracelet but sold it some years ago because it was
just too big for my skinny wrists.

My current watch is certainly less badass but a rare bird as well:

Hi Lyles

Yes very "Badass" Indeed. I love the shape of your 70tes beauty. It seems to
be in immaculate condition.

Is there a story behind this watch?

thanks Cromagnonman

What a superb example of an integrated bracelet/case and how the Genta design
evolved. And a beautiful photo too, Lyles! The dial, the case and bracelet all
come together so perfectly.

Wow,! That gives new meaning to square case watches. Beautiful.

Wow, that certainly gives new meaning to the term square case watch!

Wow (again) guess I screwed up that comment. Pardon my ineptitude with the
system.
I was referring to Lyles comment.

One of those days.
