With the date and day out of sync. When I called IWC, they told me that that could happen because the mechanism slipped due to it needing service, or if someone adjusted the day too quickly, too slowly, or during the danger zone (8pm-4am). I mean, with all the caveats, it doesn't sound that simple a

I have heard of others who have said the PC is a pain. I think the side of the mechanism that's not talked about being so simple to use, is that when it does slip up, you can't do anything to adjust it. It has to go back.

So I bought this watch at the end of October from WatchBox, which had it listed for a few thousand less than other sellers. Negotiated a bit of a discount on top of that.

Montblanc had a bit of help from Val Flerurier and their very talented acquired braintrust in Villeret to get them off the ground and running.
