IWC Roll Call: The Nicest IWC, those you own, those you dream of

OK, I Begin to play.

Here are those I own, or owned:

The Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Rattrapante in platinum:



A very nice perpetual, 10 hands ( !!! ), plexy glass, solid case back, a burger on the wrist, but very lovely and sexy.

The Minute Repeater Portuguese in WG:





Here's a Masterpiece, timeless with its sober dial, a nice movement, a good sound, even if a bit too weak, ideal proportions,
Well, a Classic, and a bargain!

The Regulateur in platinum for Wempe...





More elegant than the current Regulator, nice painted numbers, great FA Jones Movement.

The Deep One:



The First modern Depht Meter, launched in 1999.

Original, mechanically intersting, and quite a rare bird, as less than 1000 were made by IWC, too complicated to produce, and too expensive, too.

The Aquatimer Cousteau Divers, launched in 2004:



Lovely, without any retention, reliable, a Holidays Daily Beater!

And the sexier for the end, my absolute favourite, the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve:





Pure IWC DNA!

Those I dream about:

The Portuguese Perpetual Calendar in platinum LE form year 2003:



Awesome dial, with these particular 2 moon phases, very nice combo of colors, great movement, a Dream Watch!

And the IWC Ref 812, the Vintage Aquatimer.

Quite small ( 37mm, if I'm not wrong ), but a lot of charm, and if you're on building a Vintage diver Collection, this is a Lust Have...LOL

Here's a pic I found on the net, don't know who to credit:



It's up to you, now, feel free to share!

Best.
