·I like the brand too but their prices are not justifiable, IMO. I think that is the Richemont ownership though.

I agree completely but everytime I handle or try one on it just captures me. There are some used Portofinos three hander that can be found for approx 2000-2500 Euro which I think is OK. However paying retail 15 000 Euro for a brand new Big Pilot is INSANE
Indeed it is and you can only imagine what the prices are like down under in rip-off Australia.
I have got my eye on an Pilot's Spitfire Chronograph (IW3878): https://www.chrono24.com.au/iwc/pil...let-and-stainless-steel-bezel--id11259068.htm, for example.

Congrats! Finally the blue you been talking about for so long 👍
Agree with that, and also the pricing. I fell in love with an IWC while sheltering in their store at Goodwood a couple of years ago, it was beautifully made, lightweight, anti-mag, every detail was perfect - one of the best executed watches I've seen, like the opposite of a tag pilots watch. The only issue was the £4k price, at half that I would have bought it on the spot.
Mark XVIII is antimagnetic ?
Jings that’s busy. I’d need a good instruction book for that. Congrats.
