Had one of these on today... a doctor at my hospital  started a conversation after seeing my Orange Beast. He asked if I could guess what IWC he had on...

 

I told him he was sporty so may be it might be an Aquatimer or perhaps a Spitfire. I told him I didn't know if he was a complications guys and he responded, "Complications? How about a Grande Complication?"

Holy fright show!! What a watch. simply amazing. Not my style but not my price range. He was kind enough to swap with me for a bit and how bad I felt giving him an Orient while I wore the IWC. Simply unbelievable in every aspect. And a perfect fit at 7.25.

I knew this was a pricey piece but I had no idea!! Check the link for the bottom line.

Hey, how come that didnt ever happen to me? :shock:  Must have been really cool to see that watch and hold it, then find out the price, wow.  What did he say about the Orient?  Did he have any other watches?
