Bot this, hopefully will arrive soon. My first non-chronograph men UG 😜 the case back is quite a curious one for me though as it looks to be from a much later period.

Made an imprompt decision to give it to a young man who managed to make it to his top secondary school choice here in Singapore as a Christmas gift, so sorry I won't have a wrist shot for this. May be when the young man is older (11year old now with a 62 year old watch, I think I am making his life a bit more difficult 😜)

Got it a week or so ago, and posted initially here (with more pics there) :

Thought it fitting to do it justice here too 😜 mostly because it's my first 'proper' watch and a meaningful gift.

Not a purchase but an arrival 😀

Without wanting to sound as if i'm at an Oscar ceremony I must thank a very good friend on this forum for making the introduction that led to this purchase and of course to my current wife 😉 and daughters for contributing to the funds.

IWC calibre 89 dating to 1952. Couldn't be happier and I hope "Santa" is as good to all of you guys.

Did you have to swing for both daughters, or did you get it for one?🤔
