Monday pictures - IWC 3878-02
Team,
Last Saturday, a dear friend decided that this one was a tad bigger for his wrist.
It's big, 43mm, but I'm a sucker for an "in house" IWC (makes a nice pairs with my Portuguese Classic chronograph), in special with this gorgeous dial.
Let's see it, on four quick shots that I took this morning:

A dial close up. Love this radial reflexes:
A great week to all,
Nilo
Note: All pictures made with a Canon EOS M, using the night feature (it takes 4 pictures and merges)

If you live here ...
In Brazil your surprises will be much more. The simple buying of a watch strap is a lottery in terms of time and taxes. Our customs makes almost an impossible proposition for an individual the shipping to/from any complete watch to/from overseas and even ...
I was referring to parts availability from . . .
. . . independent suppliers, Steve. There's a golden opportunity to produce critical components for vintage movements. Here's hoping someone takes up the challenge. Art

Great photos! Best, -- Richard.
The radial brushed dial and ...
... the affixed markers are something special about this IWC. Great photos as usual, and the Naval binoculars look very interesting. Thanks for sharing them. Andrew
These are great!
Thanks for showing us how it's done! :)
