I was an IWC fan when I bought my first IWC Solid Gold Little second hand from Kiu Tai Yu in 1986. That watch never steal a second a day from me. a beautiful, accurate and Classic watch… Stupid that I sold to my school fellow with just HKD$2,000.
This particular IWC is now for sales at HKD$26,000 with Cert. Box and everything.

No, It is not new, but used a bit only. It was sold at HKD$25,000 yesterday. is is not mine watch. But friend of mine.
List price of this is about HKD%54000 and we can get it new at HKD$45,000. Normally we can get about less 12-15% for IWC. Well, this is rough figure only as I seldom buy new IWC at all.
I will take note on the Portuguese for you.
I think that is in hourse Movement!

hello,
I came across your website by chance. After reading some of your articles, I found them very interesting and good information. I'm a fan of IWC and saw this- in IWC 37170 pilot chrono. "This is a Iconic watch of IWC and has been one of the top seller models for IWC, IWC fans should have at least one watch of this type "

I cant agree more with you. This is my 2nd watch after Mark XV. I'm very interested in IWC big pilot watch, but its leather strap is holding me back. I also a fan of bracelet. AS I stay in SPore due to humidity, sweat, washing hands etc..I find leather takes a long time to dry. It stinks and many other more reasons. Haha.

You have a good day!
