Horological Meandering

I was out this weekend enjoying the last rays of the summer sun. Sadly the summer here in Sweden are comming to an end, it has already started to get chilly in the evenings and soon the leafs on the trees will start to turn into autumn colours... I know t...  

... wow very nice dial under the sun, Blomman. here is mine to come after you :-) btw, what is the caliber number, 8521 or 8531, mine is 8521 and hour indices are slightly different with yours? stefan ...  

Interesting to see is that it is often the more unusual like this 666 and S58... :) Mine is Cal 8531, serial 1.7 mil which puts it 1962/63. But it was not sold untill 24 of May 1969, in a small city called Karlstad here in Sweden. BWT, did you receive my ... 

... haha, Blomman, it is very kind of you to say, we only share some pieces, mine can't beat yours actually :-))) mine, serial is 1.3 mil which means mine is earlier that yours as it housed 8521 instead of 8531! mine i brought it from Zurich when i stoppe... 

Memo Parking, Ref 3072, AMVOX I, E872, ... The list goes on! ;) Best Blomman PS. PM sent.

... yes, you are right, there are more watches that share the same :-) just PM sent you, please check this time again! stefan

Way better than the current IWC pieces. Wishing you a warm autumn in Sweden! Best, -- Richard.

Thank you, my friend! :) Hope you will enjoy, now when summer are heading your way. Best Blomman

It's been a long hot summer here, nearly 32 °C everyday :-( Best! -- Richard.

What can I say... This is a beautiful example, with a superb dial, which fits your amagnetic theme so well! Yes, I see a black sister in your future. And one without date. Bravo, my friend. All the best. Nicolas

And you are all welcome to "store" your watches here! ;) Well, yes a black dial would make me very happy! With or without date, I am not that picky... But honestly, I would rather see my next IWC to be a early Aquatimer... Black, no applied logo! Mmmmm...... 

i prefer this dial as well. Best, CaliforniaJed

But this one is hard to resist! :) Thank you, Jed! Best Blomman

the white dial really stands out with the end of summer light! Matt

I just wished the summer was not ending so soon... Best Blomman

The light dial surely has a lot of wrist presence. I'm impressed by the way you captured it photographically.

no need for photo skills! ;) Thank you, yes - it is a lovely watch! Best Blomman

thats sods law as we say over here. if its something you really want then you cant afford it. thats what i find anyway :) Enjoy G

Yes, I had that a lot lately... :( Hope you get you 64! :) Best Blomman

... piece that is. And excellent photographs to boot. Sorry the weather is changing for you in the land of cold, but think of this... you've got an absolutely beautiful IWC 666 to wear whatever the weather. best, - Scott

That is a very small comfort when it will be 1 meter of snow outside... ;) Best Blomman

What a lovely 'tool-watch' - it's gorgeous. In my humble opinion the silver dial looks really good on this watch. Best wishes, Vernon

But some references - the white/silver dial is more appealing, IMO. This is one, the other would be Rolex 1019.... :) Thank you, Vernon! Best Blomman

I am so hunting for a ref 666 or 866 silver dial as well. my other cal 85xx says hello...with a couple sunbursting back :) ...  

Yes, a 666 or a 866 would fit right in to your collection! :) Best Blomman

... I probably would prefer the white for the black Best Hans

Yes, the sunburst dial really adds something extra! :) Best Blomman

... I wished to tell you that I can well understand your fondness for this watch. Mine got a bad plexi, and couldn t find an original replacement yet. Not in such a good shape as yours, I enjoy wearing it so much anyway! Have a nice week my friend! ...  

Thank you for joining the 666 post! :) Always a pleasure to see a fellow Ingenieur! Best Blomman
