I am parting with probably one of my favorite watches I've owned to date, evidenced by my having owned it for 2 years which is somewhat of a record for me. It is the perfect size at 41mm, bracelet is extremely comfortable and has a really slick microadjust system that can be adjusted without removing the watch. The bracelet has a subtle taper which I am quite fond of, and of course the incredible blue dial.
I am the original owner, purchased it from L'Oro feb 2022. It was my daily wear watch until the start of January so it had accumulated some dings here and there. I also had the bad habit of sometimes putting it on my desk face down on the crystal, as a result of this, I scratched the AR coating. I sent it into IWC service (Richemont in Mississauga), I asked them to adjust the timing (was running about 9-10 sec fast / 24 hr), to polish the watch and replace the crystal. I just got the watch back and it looks like new, it will remain unworn. I have not tested the timing of the watch since receiving it. There is only one ding that was not fully polished out as it was a bit deeper, it can be seen at 10 o'clock on the case. They also mentioned there was a 'jammed lever' and 'setting stem deformed', no idea what all that means, but it was addressed under warranty.
Watch comes with what you see in the photos, I do not believe anything is missing. Also 2 extra links were ordered when I bought the watch, but it looks like I only installed one of them. As you can see, the warranty was registered for the extension, which ends feb 6 2030.
Here is the link to this watch for the specs of this watch: https://www.iwc.com/en/watch-collections/pilot-watches/iw388102-pilot_s-watch-chronograph-41.html
Looking at the few listings of this watch, they are all listed over 8000$, therefore I believe this is listed at a competitive price considering the "partial service".
Looking for 7900$ shipped, no trades please. I am in Ottawa, willing to drive up to 2 hours (Montreal / Kingston) for an in person deal, which I prefer over shipping.
