Hello everyone, was looking through old photos and came across these of my old 3536-01 ti. Miss the watch, but it reminded me of how much IWC has changed since being acquired by Richemont. Love the brand but have yet to find a modern IWC that really speaks to me...

 

How about IWC waaaayyyy back when they made all their own calibers in-house?

 

Two more: early 1940s cal 83, late 1940s-1950 cal 89 (poor man's) calatrava...

 

852
853
8531
8541

 

Stop that. You're killing me!

 

If it helps, I no longer own all of them.

 

I'm drooling over these. The no-date is on my wish-list.

 

Thanks; not at all easy to find (the ref. 866 no date).

 

I love the script branding on those.

 

Blue dial on an Ingenieur? Amazing, thanks for adding.

 

Thanks. It's grey, but mercurial, and changes from dark blue to near-black depending lighting.

 

Peach of a watch, even if it's on an apricot.

 

Damn, there’s that rose gold 89 again!!!

 

Coming to a WRUW thread near you soon!

 

I mean, I’d like to see that, sure, but MUCH more interested in seeing it come to the FS section!!!

 

Rose gold 88 from 1950

 

Same feeling here. I find the late models of the brand pretty dull.

I enjoy very often my late 90s UTC with tritium dial:

And I am still looking for a mint example of this one:

 

I’ve never owned an IWC...which is rather crazy when I think about it.
