Hi all,

I'm strongly considering buying the IWC Pilot's Chronograph 41mm announced at Watches and Wonders:

I've always liked IWC pilots and the new size should work much better for me. The tool free link removal and micro adjustment on the tapering bracelet are great improvements, I think.

I wanted to ask if any members have experience of the in house chronograph movement used (69385 Calibre)? I'd be grateful for any feedback on its reliability. I read on another forum that there have been problems and I'd be interested to know if that's widespread. I think the same movement was used in the 41mm Spitfire models so hopefully IWC have had a chance to fix the issues by now.

I've been burned before with a problem with an in house chronograph which the service centre struggled to fix - I'd be keen to avoid a similar problem here! Thanks very much for any help.
