That is nice. Not many chronos have a day window as well as date, which is a feature I always like.

I also really like the double chrono in satin black, but I tried one on and it's really thick.

Most IWC watches are v expensive - well out of my acceptable range anyway - but they do hold value quite well.

IWC do also tend to need servicing a lot. I get to see so many top quality watches every week for sale. The rare ones are "tudors" and This type IWC. IWC dress watches are easier to buy .
