Actually, the C11 Monaco McQueen is by far the most owned on the forum (47)

The 60th Panda is 2nd (24) and the Silver 160th is likely 3rd (14 or so). There's also many Hodinkee Dato owners (11 or so). I'd guess there are probably more H02 Heritage Autavia "Rindt" owners than BB58s too, but they're not discussed much these days (except for @Albert-AMG).

However, if we're talking about the number of posts about Tudor and the BB58, it's certainly up there!

I'm amazed the McQueen Monaco is the most common, they aren't posted that often. Maybe it's a watch you buy and don't wear?

Can we add some rainforest green too? Like a rainforest green ceramic case that will push our boundaries

More likely the owners simply don't post pics that often in the "what are you wearing" thread or don't even frequent the forum that much.

This made me laugh.

I thought that before purchasing my Black one, but now feel the opposite as it’s an integral part of the function of the design and would feel weird not to have it there now.

For me the earlier SMP (ceramic bezel gloss dial) and the gen 1 & 2 POs have a smaller HEV which I could live with and have been close to purchasing previously.

IMHO the new Seamaster, I cannot unsee Reeces Peanut Cup on them.

It’s fair enough if you can’t see past it. For me, after enjoying my Seamaster for 18 months, it would be odd not to see it now, that’s all.

We all have things that we must draw the line at.

IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN CELEBRATES ITS RETURN TO MIAMI IN VIBRANT PINK


Schaffhausen/Miami: On the occasion of the second Miami Grand PrixTM, IWC Schaffhausen presents a dedicated version of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula OneTM Team with an eye-catching Miami Pink rubber strap. In keeping with Miami’s sun-kissed lifestyle and reflecting the vibrant colors of Ocean Drive, the color pink will accompany the team’s appearance at the upcoming race. In addition, IWC will mark its comeback to Miami with a takeover of Jungle Plaza in the Miami Design District ahead of the race weekend from 3rd – 5th May.


IWC Schaffhausen became the official engineering partner of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula OneTM Team in 2013. This year, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer celebrates ten years of partnership. As the motorsport’s elite gathers in Florida for the second Miami Grand PrixTM this weekend, IWC proudly presents the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula OneTM Team watch with a Miami Pink rubber strap. The chronograph is the first official team watch IWC has produced for its partner and pays tribute to the passion and determination of the team’s designers, aerodynamicists, race engineers, strategists and mechanics. The pink strap perfectly matches the team’s appearance at the Miami International Autodrome, where eye-catching pink details will be featured on the gloves and shoes of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. The team watch on the pink strap will also be worn by team members present at the race in Miami.

A CHRONOGRAPH IN
A MOTORSPORT-INSPIRED MATERIAL

Introduced at the first Miami Grand PrixTM a year ago, the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula OneTM Team is crafted from remarkably rigid grade 5 titanium. IWC pioneered this material in the watch industry during the 1980s, when the company introduced the first wristwatch with a titanium case and bracelet. Offering the highest strength-to- density ratio of any metal, titanium is about 45 percent lighter than steel. It is also widely used in automotive engineering to manufacture components subject to extreme stains, such as engine valves. In addition, titanium impresses with its corrosion-resistance and skin- friendliness. A black dial with printing and luminescence in the team’s signature PETRONAS green complements the striking design. The chronograph is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre movement. This robust chronograph movement in a column-wheel design comprises 242 parts and can be viewed through the sapphire glass back. Its bi-directional pawl winding system builds up a power reserve of 46 hours in the mainspring.


The existing version of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula OneTM Team (Ref. IW388108) on a green rubber strap comes in a bundle with a black calfskin strap and will continue to be available online. The new reference on the Miami Pink rubber strap (Ref. IW388114) comes in a bundle with the green strap and can only be purchased online on IWC.com and in the Miami boutique for a limited time. Thanks to the integrated EasX-CHANGE® system, the straps can be exchanged quickly and easily, without needing additional tools.


In addition, both timepieces are eligible for registration under the My IWC care program and can benefit from a 6-year extension to the standard 2-year International Limited Warranty.

Looks red to me rather than pink? At least the dial matches LH’s shirt.😉

Yes, it looks more pink in this other picture. I guess it depends on the light:

Took the sub off my wrist on Sunday evening, must have been around 11pm. Just picked it up again, been wearing the Monacourt all week, and it’s still running, pretty much on the second. That’s a little over 90h reserve.

Colour of the ball looks bleached out too. The ball we had for dog was a deeper red brick colour, no matter really, not in the market for one of those.

All you have to do is ride 19.6km for a free Tudor. He annihilated the competition in fairness.

Seems like a good deal!
