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!

    Call me crazy, but I would put that on a black Nato with PVD rings. IMO it’s just too military/toolish to go with gator. Another nice option would be a Bund, which complements the aviation motif.
