I was hoping to let that slip ...
without anyone noticing. Yes I was considering the 85xx, 88xx at first then I saw crownprince's post by SJX about the new Vintage collection Aquatimer with the new update movement. My heart shifted abit.
However, they are very THICK and the works on the case are quite rough seem like they are half done then rush out to the market.
I notice even JLC seems to have this problem recently.
Back to the main topic since you brought it up, I am right to say that the cal. 5000 is the best of what cal. 89, cal. 85 and cal. 98/95 all combine together or there is a better way to interpret that?
Yours Truthfully,
Tyler
IWC Vintage Dilemma .... Cal 83 vs Cal 89

For me, I personally love the layout of the 83, however the 89 is probably a bit more sophisticated, just guessing from its extraordinary long production run (mid-1940s through early 1970s). Also, I would prefer both in their issued military form (WWW for...
Thanks Steve... but
you are not making this any easier especially with your pictures. Is hard enough to get th e decision made on these 2 movement. The issues of price will come in later then...
Don't ignore the automatics
If you have an interest in the Pellaton winding system (well worth the interest, for me) then the caliber 85 series (85, 852/8521, 853/8531, 854/8541, with each pair being without/with date) has been labelled as among the best automatic wristwatch caliber...

Hmm
Hi Tyler, You pose an interesting question. There are many fans of the cal 50xxx movements, and I think you accurately see them as the descendents of the great IWC movements of the past. Unusual in several ways, including their size (!), the Pellaton wind...
