Courtesy of another forum member, I'm pleased to show you the first image --at least to my knowledge-- of IWC's calibre 62060. This rare calibre, used in only 1000 IWC watches, is an ultra-thin movement, and special in its own right. It is made for IWC by Piaget. If you'd like a huge copy of this image, you can download it directly by going to http://www.iwcforum.com/Movements/Cal62060.jpg
I'm very impressed with the finishing on the movement. You can easily see the Geneva stripes on the bridges and cocks, and also note the perlage on the plate near the balance wheel at the bottom. What especially strikes me is the finishing of the edges: note the Anglage, and how they're chamfered and polished. This really is traditional high quality Swiss movement finishing.

@ Alan, you said it ... Quote:" you know you want it" - LOL.
Actually, I had returned the Pure Classic to the AD earlier in the week. Then, the debate burst lose on the forum in my post Under the Influence.., and the itch cycle started all over again.
My leanings are IWC legacy, and that Jubilee with my name on it is out there somewhere, but although the counter arguments and opinions were there too ( and I appreciated all inputs" MF's take on things was spot on. For someone like me who still dons a suit most days for work, it's a very dressy And classic watch which will get wrist time.
So today I returned to the AD - and made him an offer he could not refuse....I agreed to discuss the price of the watch with him, conditional to his watchmaker opening it up and allowing us to see the mysterious 62060! i actually showed him the debate / forum pages on my ipad, and we went upstairs to the workshops.

The rest is History!

So finally Mark made his choice and he was so (healthily) crazy to open the case-back of a new watch!
This forum makes it to surprise me everyday, fantastic!

Roberto

I didn't think you were crazy enough to open up the watch back. That's why I thought you were kidding.

I had the same reaction. Congratulations. Now we can wait with anticipation the arrival of a Jubilee.

Great watch, Mark. Congratulations on an excellent choice from a pair on which you could not go wrong. I'm looking forward to more pictures!
