Great review, great move by IWC to reduce size to 41 mm, put in the updated "in-house/in-group" movement and increased WR. The only downgrade for me personally was the omission of the soft iron cage, which was a big miss. While it allows IWC to open up the case back to view the movement, I think it is a big compromise for such an iconic "Pilot" watch. This is the reason I went with the older LPP 43 mm. One other thing was the fact that you don't get the all satin finished bracelet anymore, which is still around for the older 3777 reference. Completely agree on the customer service, absolutely top notch stuff, Rolex take note that's how you treat your customers!

Interesting perspective on omitting the soft iron cage - I really like the open case back but appreciate your point. Thanks for giving your take and for watching the video! I agree that Rolex could learn a few things from IWC.
@instirahul2 күн бұрын
@@bonvivantlifestyle Yes, I say that because of my experience of having managed to magnetize pretty much every mechanical watch I have owned! Ofcourse nothing like being able to see the movement, especially a fantastic one like the one in the 41 chrono with the level of finishing and column wheel and all! Perhaps IWC and the Richmont group will start implementing complete Silicon components since the patents should have expired.

You stir as to not bruise it, not to keep from watering down. Gin requires more water than vodka to release botanicals, vodka is shake. To get very cold fast

I made the mistake of using a tin foil dish for lasagna once and one thing is for sure: It does not hold temperature as well as a ceramic or Le Creuset dish, hence the extra time you needed. I was inspired to buy the book, though! Thank you for a great shared experience and I am looking forward to other ones in the future!

How do you recommend getting around with a two toddlers and a stroller? What type of transportation is best? Taxi? Subway?
@bonvivantlifestyle22 күн бұрын
Two toddlers and a stroller? Taxi or uber. Subway would be too stressful and not all have elevators (ones that do are not always clean). No taxi or uber driver is going to care if you don’t have car seats, but you have to be comfortable with that risk. We’ve never had an issue and while it’s more expensive, it’s by far the most efficient and stress free way to navigate the city with kids.

I’m from Ireland and typically cringe at this carry on… but this looks really good! The pub seems great, the museum is something I would love to see… the church can do one to be honest though, we’ve heard they’ve a hand in excluding queer people from Patrick’s Day celebrations and that’s just not what we’re about here in Ireland - social exclusion is a colonial mechanism and we’ve put really hard work into getting rid of that here. Hoping that more of our Irish cousins to the same, this island collectively shudders when the likes of Mitch McConnell comes out with some bigotry or the likes of Joe Biden sends tonnes of weapons or billions of dollars to fuel genocide.

I did consider blue! Ultimately went with black because I thought it was more versatile, but blue is fairly versatile too. As my first watch, I’ve been wearing it regularly with all outfits and black matches best in my view, but very much a personal preference. Still loving the watch! Good luck on your decision - you really can’t go wrong.
