Number 2 (I've had one) - And James May from BBC TOP GEAR has one I think..
Classic understated IWC although has a very common 7750 moment..

No 2 from your selection but if it was me I would look to either stretch to a pre-owned Daytona or save myself some cash and buy an Omega Speedmaster.

Hi, Shaun, would you mind to share your experience about this IWC watch (number 2)? of course the accuracy, thanks!

WHY DO PEOPLE REPLY JUST TO REPLY CONTRIBUTE NOTHING???????

The fact that people reply "none" makes me think they their time would have been better spent keeping their mouth shut. They joy of the hunt and peoples taste in watches is so different, if you don't like the choices, don't contribute to the thread.

You got replies like "maybe try to stretch and get a used Daytona", what a silly statement. This just goes to show you that most around these parts no nothing about watches, after all, the IWC 5001 has a MSRP of $12,400.00. You could get a new Daytona for that price but I would personally wear a G Shock before I wore a Daytona.

The IWC 500107 gets my vote. The blue hands against the white dial is just stunning in person. The movement is flat out beautiful, so is the overall detail of the watch.

I recently have been looking at a Baume & Mercier. They make some pretty sharp looking pieces. If I were you, I would go look at them and try them on. I have never had a Baume & Mercier on my wrist, so I cant comment on their quality, but I can say they have some very appealing designs and a nice price point.

I would select option #3. The dial on the other two make the watch appear too large for me. The daytona like dial on the B&M is more to my liking...

Yoo Funnie!

What I was thinking is #2 is nice but, as with all IWC watches, I would see it in person and change my mind. I've seen a couple IWC's in mags. or online and liked them but, in person, not so much.

That's just me, though.

Number 2 as well. That is pic is not even close to what it looks like in person. That white dial just "pops" with a nice dress shirt as well. Good luck!
