Introducing: The IWC Mark XVIII (40mm, Anti-Magnetic, And Just Right)
You asked for it, you got it. Here is the IWC Pilots watch you've been waiting for – if you thought these were too big and this was too small. This is the brand new IWC Mark XVIII – the heir apparent to THE most important and iconic pilots line in the world. And, it's been dropped down in size to 40 mm, the dial's been cleaned up, and it's been given a brand new pair of (way more fitting) shoes. This one you're gonna like. 1 OF 3 The new IWC Mark XVIII is 40 mm in diameter. Up until today, the Mark Pilots Watch – the XVII – was 41 mm in diameter, featured an altimeter style date display, and came on an exotic strap. You could say that those three things have been remedied in the new Mark XVIII. The case size is now 40 mm, four larger than the Pilots Watch 36 and four smaller than the new Big Pilot.

Ploprof vs. Sub
I recently switched from a date sub to a Ploprof 600. Ever since I havnt been able to release a feeling of remorse (or regret?) .. Will Ploprof grow on me, or will this feeling endure?I know its a deeply personal question, but was the trade bueno/no bueno?

First Rolex - OP 36 or Sub?
I'm finally in a position to purchase my first Rolex and I'm having a hard time picking between the 36 mm Oyster Perpetual and the no-date Sub. I love both for different reasons (the OP's simplicity and the Sub's classic look), but I suppose the choice really comes down to whether the Sub is worth the extra 2K over the OP. If anyone owns either of these watches I'd love to hear your thoughts on using it as a daily timepiece. Thanks!
