Greg and Jay,

I just swapped a mint IIIf BDST for a IWC Portuguese watch in stainless 
steel.  Was that a good deal? ;-)

today are the vintage Pilot watches and Ingenieur's with the 1963 version
(8521 movement) being my favorite. I don't really like IWC's current line of
large watches although they sell really well (to others).

with an unique look that is really timeless. The Lange is to dress watches
what the IWC Mark 11 is to pilot's watches.
