    Please help me find my first IWC...

    Anyway...

    I have been saving up for a couple of years for my first quality watch. I chose the Spitfire UTC (325112) because of the IWC reputation, its unique movement, perfect size, and outstanding good looks. After the first look I was smitten. So imagine my dismay when I go in to buy one and I find that they have been discontinued! Because of my extensive travel schedule I require the hour hand step setting and UTC second time zone, and the current World Timer is too big for my smaller wrists.

    So I ask if any of you know of a retailer that may have one of these left over or pre-loved please let me know. I have been searching to no avail. Please help me get in touch with my first love!

    Unique movement, not really, it's an ETA 2892.

    Of course you are right. I meant to say uncommon independent jump hour set feature.

    TY! However, I am looking for the model with the UTC window on the bottom. I appreciate it though.

    There are several dealers in HK. Best is probably the Flagship Boutique.
