Just took delivery of a 5001-12 I picked up on Chrono24. It’s stunning on the wrist. I did want the newer model for the upgraded movement, but the limited edition blue with white sub-dials was just too pretty.
Watch serves no purpose, cannot go to the beach in it, cant see it at night and the leather band will wear out eventually. I see no upside to owning this particular watch.
A lot of people don’t go to the beach. And there's generally enough light to see it. Is it the perfect all rounder? No. But as someone who owns a few watches, some that are like this, they are just fine for daily wear.
One of the iconic timepiece from IWC
I have the blue faced version, nice piece.
even though its 42mm watch, it looks very big, because of the big dial and the thick case
A great allrounder, except for night use, as no lume.

It's a dress watch, not a sports watch like the submariner or royal oak.
