Thanks Bill. You know my principle: condition, condition, condition. And this one (as my 1832) are in ....

Next to the two great watches on these pictures I particularly like two things: 1) they made 350 …

Collecting watches: main topics and sub-topics (part 2)

Another topic that - at one time of building my collection - built "itself" was to have the first four generations of IWC Ingenieur watches, all 1) in steel, 2) with steel bracelet and 3) black dial. They cover a time span from 1955 until 1992. The Ingeni
