Hello all,

I have long wanted to scratch an itch for a blue dialled IWC chrono, it ticks all the boxes I have set for myself, well it almost did until now, let me explain..
I love the look of the IW377714 (Pilots Chrono, blue dial) but despite several chances I never pulled the trigger because of the solid caseback and ‘Le Petit Prince’ theme, now IWC are launching the IW388101 this month; identical looking on the face of it but a better size (41mm vs 43mm), new movement, clear caseback and a new quick-change system for the strap, all in all its become the perfect watch for me.
The only downside however is that the price has ‘evolved’ too, to £5850, however if discounts can be had then im still in, so what is your experience with IWC at all the usual suspects/retailers? How much can I realistically expect to pay on this watch, bearing in mind its a new model due out this month.

Many thank all, heres some pics
