If your a fan of the EWC I think you'd really like the Big Ingenieur. I've always liked the sleek Ingenieur design of the previous models, the red part on the power reserve is a really nice touch on the dial. Add the 7 day movement along with a comfortabl...
I think you are spot on, Tony

As you know, I AM a fan of the EWC, so this Big Ingenieur is right up my alley. Perhaps one day...and I really would like another daily wear piece. My two other IWC dreams are the 5251 Portofino and the Portuguese 2000. The Portofino would be especially n...
Respo, Respo, RESPO!

What, what, what, my friend???? Did I miss something, a train, a train station? You wanted to hide us this Beauty, my friend? Do you how how I'm called? VLAD!! So, Mr Respo just got a Portuguese Jubilé, and he kept it for it, in a very silencious way... T...
Thanks for the kind words, Vlad

Apologies for keeping this one under wraps for a bit. I had been hunting the Jubilee for a while and had the opportunity to acquire this one not too long ago under very pleasant circumstances. I feel very fortunate to have found it. So, you mentioned it i...
Wahuu Respo!

Lovely, lovely piece! An icon of style and simplicity and moreover a rare bird. I am so very happy for you (and the watch in fact) that you have found this. Such a piece deserves a caring owner. It never seizes to amaze me how often I share your taste in ...
My 2 current IWCs

I have only ever owned 2 IWCs and here they are: Spitfire XVI Portuguese 7 days I think this is a nice sample of the IWC range. It is not my current plan to trade or sell either. I think I would regret it too much if I did. Regards, Richard....
I had several

My first IWC was this one , or should I say " Deep One ": Then, I got the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Rattrapante, too : And ... The Portuguese Minute Repeater: Now, I only kept 2 IWCs: One is sentimental, as it is a gift from a close person, my Aquatimer...
Nice thread

.. I'm glad we're giving IWC some attention, as it was my means of entry into this crazy, crazy world This is my only one, but I also love some of the others in this thread such as the Portuguese Minute Repeater, and the vintage Aquatimer pictured in Nico...
Past and present IWCs ...

Here's my first IWC, the one that started it all for me: A Porsche Design Ultra Sportivo - titanium on rubber, quartz and tiny by today's standards at 33 mm diameter. The only watch I ever sold, which I still regret. Since then I have accumulated an embar...
thanks, Arthur...

... yes, actually my vintage watch collection is not only focusing on particular brand, as long as eye-catching, within my budget, the piece has interesting history, then i will hunt for it. by the way, would like to ask you advice, will PM you shortly af...
Past for me...

...The new IWCs since around 2000 haven't really appealed. Ref 866 Ingenieur is one of my favourites: I think the original Yacht Clubs are not given the respect they deserve. Lots of innovative features built on a rock solid movement: And the rattrapantes...
