I'm more excited than when mine arrived! So glad it finally is in your hands (and on your wrist). Looks great on several of those straps. Kudos to Ed for making sure this got sorted.

Thank you for all your kind words everybody!

the watch is so special to me.. it is the first IWL project watch and it set the bar so high! i'm very satisfied with it and can confirm it will get lots of wrist time in the future.. i luv this forum, and IWL is our little community that take special part in my heart.. this watch is a great memorabilia and reminder whenever i wear it on my wrist..

i will put extra care to it and will wear it with pride (and brag about it to my friends).. hope it last me a while since i like it so much..

i'm amazed that it wear so well on the wrist.. its combination of long lugs, case thickness despite the classic size seem odd -- but wear like magic! on my wrist it sits like an old faithful.. pure classic. i would say it is a great watch no matter the price tag..

i know it is considered small by today BIG size standard.. but it doesn't wear small.. it simply -- just right. very pleasing in on my eyes..

this would be my last watch for 2016.. and i'm so happy it is a perfect one.. (i hope i could purchase a different style of this watch next year though.. need Ed recommendation for that though.. )


for those who is on the fence with this IWL Watch.. i highly recommend it.. it is a high quality and superbly made watch with a stunning IWL design team signature.. you'll love it!
