Haha, So it is true.. I heard that nowadays it is harder to obtain a "original" BP than a limited edition. Great that you got one. Wear it in health. Cheers Bas Dekkers (wearing his AT 3568) " alt="image" />

Welcome to the slow beat 5002 club. Mine is the slow beat as well, but I have the probus crown installed and the fish crown as a souvenir. I happen to be wearing mine today by coincidence. It's a worth addition to your significant BP collection.

The slow beat in action...five beats per second:
Hi Bill
Why are the 5 beats not distributed symmetrically. I.e, in 5 equal portions. Is this a phenomena of the watch beat or the camera ? I presume it was a 1 second period that the shutter of the camera was open - but please correct me.

I asked the same question of the IWC watch experts and one explanation is the there is some wiggle in the very long seconds hand. The other option is there is a bit of play in the seconds gear. If you put the 5002 on a Witschi, it clocks at 5 beats per second.
