    No, I didn't flinch and post that picture twice - it's double incoming day! Excuse the quick & dirty pics.

    First, I love gold.

    What I didn't know when I bought it is that the IWC has a gold dial. ::jumpy:: Well, not sure that it's metal is gold, but that's something to be checked out later.

    Slapped on a chocolate strap and broke out the chocolate Allen Edmunds cap toes for tomorrow!

    And the second is the Flagship with the most excellent medallion.

    It's a relief to receive it because it came from a tricky area - Croatia. Not exactly the Ukraine, but not downtown London either. Yep, luck is better than skill - there's less research involved. Or as one experienced vintage collector's signature says, "The harder I work, the luckier I get".

    That Flagship medallion is what earned the like, it's a pity it's always covered when you wear it.

    That IWC is really a great buy. Don't you love squirrels.

    Both the new arrivals look great. I really like the IWC.
