My dream watch recently purchased

After months of hard searching, I finally bought myself a mint M serial 16610LV.
Thanks to all those who've helped me in my search, and of course, special thanks to Tony Geha for an awesome watch!

The watch is running about 3 seconds fast per day, which is well within COSC and amazing considering it was bought new nearly 4 years ago.

Here are some pics!

Congrats on obtaining your dream watch!!! There is no better feeling than finally obtaining something you've been dreaming to own..

My dream watch was the IWC Big Pilot! You couldn't remove the smile from my face the day that I could finally afford it and it arrived..

I understand that stupid grin you likely have on your face right now

I briefly considered the Sub-C, classic sub, and a watch from another swiss manufacturer
