: Great looking watch, and I have always loved IWCs bracelets.

: But, David -- let's see a full straight on shot of the watch . . .

Dead on about the crystal, Sam. I played with the camera for a couple of hours, and did not get one acceptable photo. The bracelet
is really well constructed, but I've got some problems with it. This is a dive watch, right? So where is the divers extension? Doesn't
have one, which doesn't bother me, cause I don't dive. The next little jewel is the fact that it doesn't have any micro adjustment. Now
I know a lot of bracelets don't have this type of adjustment, but one would think that a bracelet and watch at this price level would
feature some sort of fine adjustment. It's a full link in, or a full link out, no in between. Not a deal breaker, but somewhat aggravating.
Don't know about the timekeeping yet, but if I'm not really late, or really early for the next couple of weeks, I'm in good shape...........David
