That is integrity. Makes you feel confident in the whole process and the seller. If he cannot find them will you still go ahead with it Roger, assuming he would knock a bit off for the lack of those things?

I can't believe that watch is still available after almost 7 months!
That's crazy.

MSRP is around $4500, so even with a 20% off offer on new, it's be outside my budget with the current watch fund. |

Congrats Roger, that's a classy looking watch.
Going by the dimensions I thought you were getting half a DSSD lol
Enjoy the IWC mate

Very sorry to hear about the issue with the B&P. I think, though, either way it goes you will get a beautiful watch.
I took a close look at the white dial version via the link you provided. Unusual for me to say, as I'm not a big fan usually of white dials, but in this case I have to make an exception. Not just saying that to placate you but it really is a great looking watch on that dial.
Guess you have to play the "Wait and see" game for a while. I will be very interested to see how it turns out!
Cheers,
Carl

A little bump in the road this morning. The seller issued me a refund because he can't find the B&Ps. He thinks they are his parent's place out in the suburbs, but didn't want to hold my money while he looked this weekend. They guy is not a power seller, but I like his integrity. Hopefully he can get out there this weekend and round up the rest of the kit. Or maybe someone offered him a little more money for it! |

Its still listed FS so I doubt it and I tend to believe in the general good that others have as opposed to believe the worst. If he did, I'm out nothing and it was not meant to be. |

Well...I finally have one on the way! It's been a bit of a journey, but ended well.  The first guy with the best price couldn't find the B&Ps. The second guy didn't want to budge much on price and was pretty spending for a LNIB.  Called an AD I had purchased from before and they offered a small discount, but not enough. So, I put out feelers with two power sellers I have purchased from before and VIOLA - pay dirt! BNIB from an AD at a great price!!!  Depending on when the AD ships it, it should be here Monday or Tuesday!

Did you stick with the black dial, Roger?

Nope. After looking at my collection, which is mostly black, I decided on white. It has a pearl effect on it and looked really nice. I think it will still look great with a suit because I usually wear charcoal grey with a white shirt.
