    Today felt a strong urge to stray from Omega :cautious:
    Is it just an age thing or do others find this beautiful ?

    Oh yes. This one does routine duty as my stealth all-purpose watch. It is the one I most often take on my travels.

    High class!
    This is one of my favorite watch in my small collection. From 1965.

    And IWC certainly had it.

    IWC is a lot like Longines: underrated and just coming into the spotlight, and a brand that many collectors own a piece or two of but rarely make it their primary focus.

    My only vintage, which took me several months and, probably the imminent failure of an air conditioning unit to finally convince Dennis to flip...:D

    Damn! tomorrow is Tax day and just to think that the outgoing $$ from my checking account would have funded a nice watch make me feel::rant: yeah, yeah, I'm sure my contribution will help to improve schools, roads, and....... ::rant:

    Well, I'm hoping this other event will help in soothing my day :whistling:

    Nice one LouS. It looks like we have three different types of crown variants around here on our ribbon lugs...::confused2::
