Have been eyeing a piece from IWC for several years and as of last October they released a fairly limited timepiece which I fell in love with. Was en route to Tokyo when I stopped by the IWC boutique store and saw it in person. Didn't have a lot of time as I wanted to head into the lounge to freshen up and to also grab some food. After about a week in Tokyo, we flew back into HKIA and decided to take a closer look at the piece again. Was pleasantly greeted by Nelson who pulled the piece out from the display case and presented it to me while wearing black gloves. Though the watch was completely covered with plastic, I love the fact that they still take care to make sure all pieces are properly handled to ensure each and every piece is mint upon purchasing. I did end up spending nearly an hour discussing the subtleties of this limited edition and eventually pulled the trigger. I really did appreciate Nelson's patience in dealing with my credit card company who kept denying the charge thinking that it was a fraudulent purchase though I placed a call before the initial swipe.
I love my new piece from IWC and couldn't have been happier with the purchase.
