It’s way too thick imho

Just got mine yesterday. Also 6.75 wrist. Like you, I was a bit unsure about the size, but it really looks great. Super cool watch, I think you’ll enjoy it.

BTW, I think the dimensions of the Tahoe/Woodlands are the same as the Mercedes one.

They’re not the same dimensions.

The Mercedes Petronas is 41mm at 14.5mm thick.

The Lake Tahoe is 44.5mm at 15.7 thick. Quite a significant difference.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. That is a significant diff indeed.

Awesome and unique piece!!!

Just got notice today I’ve been cleared to order one! This piece isn’t as good as most divers when it come to water resistance. But, if I get mine in time it’ll do some beach duty this summer. Come winter, I’ll do some winter activities as well..

yes, it's on waiting list here in Singapore and usually IWC Clients are getting dibs over other non-client

i am probably getting mine in JUL/AUG

I like this piece, and at 41mm, it's right for me size-wise. But I already have a Spitfire Chrono in 41 (3879-04), and if I'm being honest, IWC really has to get more original.

Either shake up their other model lines, or find another paradigm for a pilot's watch chrono.
