What's your budget?

And what type of strap?

Kaput eye, I guess.

No lah. The lighting and the reflection made it looked blue.

what do those numbers 2 - 24 mean? I'm assuming it's something to do with the 24 hour clock but I can't seem to understand it leh

It's a GMT watch. It can tell time from 2 different time zones.

There's a white hand with red arrow (half hidden) pointing at 9 o'clock (also 18 mark). This means that it's 1720 hrs. The hour hand can be separately adjusted without adjusting the red arrow hand.

Red arrow - home time
Hour hand - local time

Maybe cos of AR? Unless that model don't have.

They were 1 of the 5 watchmakers (the others were German) to supply German airforce
They are the only major Swiss watchmaker based in German speaking part of Switzerland

IWC maybe the largest swiss watchmaker based out of German speaking part of Swiss, but U have Oris there too.
http://www.timezone.com/2002/09/25/is-iwc-the-only-brand-made-in-the-german-part-of-switzerland-698/

IWC volume ~90K watches a yr, Oris ~60K

if supply to German in WWII makes it a little more German then Omega is alittle more American since it supply to NASA.

Longines in french part, founded by french speaking swiss ppl on the forum call them faking french with a fake french name LOL..

 

[cyrenic]

no leh u asked him nia
