opinion needed on IWC
Hi, I'm new to this forum. Any opinions on the IWC Mark XVI Spitfire? Thanks for your help!

Sector?
I have been looking for something to replace my G-Shock as my hiking/outdoor watch because I don't wear it often enough to remember how to set it, and it's a pain to pull out the manual every time I need to. I came across what looks like a good deal on two new Sectors. Both are quartz analog chronographs, one with alarm. They both have sapphire crystals, one is on a leather strap and the other a stainless bracelet. I was able to get both for right around $200 (that's for both, not $200 each). I am not too worried about whether they are mediocre, decent, or better watches since their intended use is for when they might get scratched up or dinged around a bit. Most of the areas my wife and I hike are rocky, so the possibility of scratches/dings/etc. is very real. I actually like the way they look quite a bit, which is a definite bonus. It'll be nice to wear a watch that I like while hiking, yet not really worry about babying it too much. One has a sand colored dial, and I anticipate it w

A couple new straps from Micah...
Just added a couple new straps from Micah. The 305 is a canvas desert camp pattern with stainless buckle. The 104PVD is baby croc. Really pleased with his quality and customer service.

Adding a Hacking feature to all movements?
I am a FREQUENT traveler.... flown on one airline, over 100,000 miles this year. I love my DJ41, (purchased earlier this year) but one thing I truly miss is the feature of moving just the hour hand when traveling through time zones. With my GMT, and then my EXII, it was so easy to simply ¡°click¡± the hour hands back or forth to accomodate the time change (I might have the term wrong calling it ¡°hacking¡± but you get what I mean). I know it doesn¡¯t seem like a big deal to pull out the stem to another click and manually move the minute hand ahead or behind two or three hours, but like a lot of things in life, you don¡¯t miss something until it¡¯s gone. I guess this is a question for Larry and the other smarter people on TRF then me (which pretty much covers everyone ) but is it such a big deal to offer that feature on all movements? I wouldn¡¯t think so. The 3235 is outstanding, but this is one function I would really like to see added. Rolex, are you listening?
