Lately I’ve been primarily collecting Panerai, but I decided to venture out and try another brand to spice things up. I used to have the 44mm IWC Top Gun chronograph 3789-01, but only for a brief period of time. For some reason the 44mm version just didn’t quite have the wrist presence that I wanted.

As you can see, this version with the thicker, and 2mm wider case has no issues in the wrist presence department.

The OEM kevlar strap is great, but like any Paneristi worth his ammo leather, I’m already looking for other strap options. I’m thinking that an OEM black gator Big Pilot strap would look mean on this one. Stay tuned for more photos!

Here’s the last shots that I have of my Tiffany Mark T-57 Automatic Chronograph. I loved this watch, but ultimately had to get rid of it because of fit issues with the bracelet, and the lack of a half link to fine tune the fit.

This is an unbelievably good looking watch. It photographs very well.
