So, this happened...

Seems I forgot that I ordered IWC's latest "Collector's Forum" watch, which is based in the Spitfire, but with a matte black dial, single date window and solid case back with a full soft-iron inner case.

So, what do I sell to pay this one off? :shrug:

Regards,
Adam

Just wondering, as this is out of my league.... is that watch considered as bad ass as the Top Gun or the Perpetual Calendar?

She sure is a beauty. :salute:

Nice watch Adam. Paying for it, selling something? You have a couple of kids right? Couple of kidneys to right? You'll find something to sell :-)

Definitely not as badass as the Top Gun Perpetual, but I'd say that it trumps the Top Gun Chrono, if for no other reason than its relative rarity. Of course, the Top Guns are made out of ceramic, which is pretty cool.

I was on the list for this but had to decline. Now, seeing this, I'm bummed!

Yeah, saw that on IG.

Sell Pat you're DSSD
"30ish years of martial arts and I've actually had the honor of training lots of LEO, spec ops and even SEAL team 6 on base, fitness training, not martial arts, but still the coolest thing I've done.

Full on egg head corporate job and I fly quite a bit so I'm really looking forward to adding to my collection of TSA friendly self defense tools. I have amcouple tactical pens, but I want to up the game and get into some custom stuff. Been watch obsessed for a while but this seems more fun.

Thanks for letting me play! "

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
