Hi Stephen, the timing sounds good - and of course by then an entire new range of IWCs will also be at HK Flagship :)

@Felix -- interesting question. I am not a photographer and use the Auto setting on my Leica D-lux 5. I try to find a right spot* for a clear picture of the dial minimizing reflections. Not easy of late - I could be wrong but HK Flagship uses much yellow lighting (like many other dealers and boutiques of late - I think designed to accentuate the red and rose gold pieces) so finding a white light spot can prove a challenge -- certainly was the case during the Siderale sitting, and you will be able to tell later this week from the pics I took.
*Nad found a good spot next to the Yacht model at the Portuguese section, above the box of leather straps.
Hi Shing,
Thanks for your recommendation. I will try to take photos at the Portuguese section.

Great job, Shing. My favorite remains the now discontinued 3227, but the white dial time only and chronos both look amazing.
Totally agree.
This is based on my own opinion...
I've always believed that the classic IWC's that sell well or have iconic followings are the ones that are least cluttered from a design standpoint... Clean, legible and large masculine faces... (Portuguese Auto, the old aquatimers, Big Pilot, Mark 15 and 16, Portofino Moonphase) that exemplifies the identity and characteristics of IWC. The newer models are just too much with reference to colour usage, dial motifs, texts here and there... etc.
Keep the classic design DNA intact instead of overly refreshing the look with each product life cycle refresh... (Porsche and Apple do it so well... as with Rolex...) Its about subtle changes and not design overkill...
I hope some of you will see where I'm coming from...
