Incoming - SARB017 arrival
I received this last week and have just now gotten around to snapping a few pics and after wearing it for a day or two this weekend. First off, pictures do not do this watch justice. The face is really beautiful in person and looks great on the wrist. It has a sportier look to it than my SARB035, as such it goes well jeans a nice shirt to jeans and a t-shirt. You can look up the stats online if you wish so I won't re-hash here. The strap does look nice, but the quality is sub-par in my opinion. This will be the first change I make to a more suitable high quality dark leather strap. The watch reads easily with the great snowflake(?) hands in white on the green and gold dial. Very unique look. The compass around the inside bezel is subtle enough, though I am a little confused on how one would use it?Lum is great and t looks smashing on the wrist, I love this watch A few quick pics, this dial is seriously difficult to photograph properly but I will try to get some proper shots up here soo

The search is over, but i have a IWC Question .......
I just picked up a new pilots chrono that i had been lusting over since the make-over and sizing to 42mm. But my question is ..anybody know how long an IWC XL long croc strap is? The AD is going to order me a long to replace the regular size but they didnt know the size of the IWC XL's. I have searched the IWC web site and come up empty. I know Panerai XL's are 115mm/95mm. Any ideas guys???Here is a quick pic at the AD's before they packed it up to be shipped home.

It's been a rough three weeks since my heart surgery but today I felt good enough to return some phone calls that had come in while I've been out.One of those was Jim at Continental. When we had talked pre-hospital, his wife of 52+ years had just died. He and June were more than husband and wife, they were business partners. Anyone who had ever called Continental most likely had the call answered by June. Needless to say, Jim could not visualize continuing without her. He had decided to hang it up. When we talked today, Jim had done a 180. What changed? It was all the calls, emails, and cards from friends and customers expressing condolences and urging him not to close down. So it's back to business as usual. He's eliminating the office overhead and 800 number (which may in turn be reflected in his pricing). The Continental direct phone line will still be good with rollover and voicemail.Everyone needs a reason for getting up each morning and this will be good for Jim. Thanks everyone.
