..... when a fellow WIS calls or texts you. It will probably cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars - ain't that right @gatorcpa?

Minding my own business at work when the first text comes through at 6:37, and in less than an hour I own another stainless steel funky 70's automatic IWC.



(more pics in the "What Did You Buy Today (Watches)?" thread)

I'm seriously considering going into my iPhone settings to block Evan, Kyle, and Steve. Kyle tempted me with a Rolex Zephyr that I passed to another member who asked me about them so hopefully that works out. This one.... well, let's just say the price was right.

I'm weak in all the best ways.

 

Yay! Dennis is buying again!

Love the bracelet.

 

IWC is always a correct choice.

 

I have this "problem" with OF members as well! Must have shiny things!

 

Gorgeous! I like how the case accommodates the ends of the bracelet so tidily.

 

It was impossible to pass on this. I'll be very selective for the next couple years.

Thanks! It's rare that I do too. I learned my lesson about IWC bracelets with my Spitfire Mark XV - should NEVER have parted with that watch OR bracelet.

It Wears Comfortably. Doesn't hurt that they have world class automatics inside either.

Yeah, but this time it cost me WAY more than fifty bucks.

So noted. It has flat end links from the looks of it though.

IWC apparently made several different end links, from 18mm to 20mm, for this bracelet.

 

Nice! ...but don't you think is a bit thick for your liking? and since Gator called dibs on the bracelet, I'll call dibs on the remaining hardware.

 

Nah, it's not going to be worn with a long sleeve shirt. Remember I'm anal about dress shirt = strap. (besides, I know your just planting a seed of doubt so I'll sell it faster)

Also noted.

 

That IWC bracelet that came on the Spitfire, and the corresponding chronograph is an absolute work of art. I've wanted one for a decade, and just never have had the funds at the right time.

Here you go Dennis - there is one on Watchnet right now:

Not the exact model I had - mine was this:

 

me??? naaaa I'd never engage in such tactics... but gosh! it does look a lot thicker than most of your favorite watches!

 

I figured it wasn't since it has the UTC. I like yours better, or the corresponding silver dialed one.
