IWC Roll Call: The Nicest IWC, those you own, those you dream of
OK, I Begin to play. Here are those I own, or owned: The Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Rattrapante in platinum: A very nice perpetual, 10 hands ( !!! ), plexy glass, solid case back, a burger on the wrist, but very lovely and sexy. The Minute Repeater Portu...

Nicolas, you broke my heart!
I wanted the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Rattrapante in RG but back luck - discontinued! I did not know the glass was plexy (not very good for wear&maintenance) but still... one of my dream watches. BR, Costin
I wrote about the Da Vinci re-issue in this year's Basel round-up: . . .
. . . " . . .of which the Da Vinci is my personal favorite novelty from I W C this year neither on technical merit nor historical grounds; I just flat out like the evocative hexagonal case that is so reminiscent of the funky cushion-case designs of the ea...

Wait for an answer...

My Past, Present, and hopeful Future......
IWC has to be one of my favorite brands, hopefully we get a forum here sooner rather than later! Here are some pieces of the past: I had this one twice, once on a strap and once on the bracelet. Split minute My currents, a Cousteau Aquatimer I've had the ...
I know a Friend who loved so much the Port Seven Days that
He owned the set of 3..SS, Rose Gold, and Platinum. There were the ref 5000, not the one with the Date at " 6 ", which is referenced 5001, if I'm not wrong. Did you see the Platinum 5000? A very sexy and elegant watch, the same than your dream watch but w...
Nicolas.........
Was that a set you could buy or did he have that box custom made? I really like the older Ports too! Thanks for posting. Tony

The nicest IWC i've owned is the limited edition of 25 pieces 42mm Cellini Portuguese Perpetual in stainless steel which is the 1st Portuguese Perpetual of the 42 & 44mm versions and the only version currently available in stainless steel. The IWC I own n...
Sole Survivor: IWC's first black watch
Ref. 3701 was one of the watches produced during the 10-year collaboration between IWC and Porsche Design. At one time I had more than a dozen of the historical Porsche Design watches and a handful of other IWCs, including a titanium Aquatimer that I thou...
Here are some of mine; actual and dreams!
I've had mostly GST watches, and there are a couple I can't find pictures of - they are long gone. That includes a mecha-quartz GST in ti, a alarm GST in ti, and a regular chrono GST, in ti (boring, eh?) Plus these three newer GSTs (and the fourth - a dop...
DREAMS DO COME TRUE
Here are two watches that I own. The big Pilot's watch in platinum and the Big Pilot's Perpetual Calendar 'Bucherer' Watch which is limited to just 30 pieces. A Big Pilot's perpetual Calendar Chronograph someday perhaps? One never knows with IWC IWC Big P...
Always dreaming…
Own Mark XV Classic Pilot, white dial, circa 2003 Dream Portuguese Perpetual Calendar - not many Perpetual’s show the correct moonphase for those living in the Southern hemisphere. I suppose I could also ‘make do’ with a Skeleton Repeater! Andrew...
A lovely Mark XV
This White dial is original, for a Pilot Watch, since Rolex and its 6542 made it, not a lot of brands followed this combo. Perfect on your wrist! Best. Nicolas
Thanks for the information
Hi Nicolas, The bracelet and quick release deployant make the Mark XV very comfortable to wear. I didn't know any of the Rolex 6542 history so it was interesting to go searching. The nicest thing to me about white or cream dials is the way blue hands are ...
Beautiful!
I love the shape of the lugs, and the thin bezel, too. May you tell us more about this lovely piece? Best. Nicolas
This is my favourite pair
Now that I own the Jubilee Portugieser, I guess the watch that I would dream of owning is the original Portuguese Ref 325. I also like the Squelette Repeater very much. Cheers, CS...

This is definately a sick wolf......
Hi Nicolas, If i am a wolf then a very sick one for sure LOLOLO. see you in patek forum.... Thanks. BHK9
Fernando, is there a watch you don't own? LOL
Your collection is impressive my friend. I appreciate a lot the IWC BP, but I already found my Pilot Watch....The GO Senator Navigator, LE for Rimowa. I Think that if I didn't find this rare bird, I'd finally end up catching this IWC! Best. Nicolas This m...
I can not say much here...
Because I have not yet bought any IWC. But my selection would be: - Vintage Collection: Pilot's Watch Automatic and Aquatimer. - Portuguese: I think that it´s a watch almost essential in a collection, a classic. I settle for any model. - Da Vinci: The Da ...
