I bought this one about a year and a half ago and have a hard time taking it off. When I first bought it, it was a gold color but the patina just keeps amazing me on how much it adds to the character of it. IWC did a fantastic job on the type of bronze used for this watch (more brown and yellow than copper looking). The green dial goes from a dark green to a bright olive green, depending on the light. This combined with the bronze, gold hands, and brown leather strap really makes it feel like it’s from another era. If anyone is looking to pull the trigger on one, you won’t regret it.
Notes:
- 6.5” wrist
- The picture is a few months old, but showcases the watch nicely with some patina.
- Strap is from The Strap Tailor —> highly recommend!

I had a boss that would constantly chase the new buzz-worthy tech rather than focusing on the tools and languages we already used and supported (which also had the capability of accomplishing the same objectives). My team spent a lot of resources on half ass implemented tools that created more gaps than what it was supposed to fill. In the end, the team (not him) were expected to fix the issues he created because he was always busy chasing the ‘next big thing’, brushing the issues he created for the team under the rug. Super frustrating and glad I’m not working in that environment anymore.
