Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend.
Yes IWC was such an interesting rand once. I once read that the collaboration with Porsche Design became a problem for them in the way that it became too popular.
This one is absolutely mint. I have the full set and I don’t believe the previous owner wore it either. It’s just full of creativity and very well executed. I find it inspiring.

WS challenge is on! Weekend of 14th-16th of September - “Safe Queens”
WS challenge for the weekend of the 14 th -16th of September “Safe Queens” Ladies and gentlemen! We are now ready to see your ”Safe Queens” on stage. Please post in one of the three categories to be judged: Best static shot Best Wrist Scan Watch of the We...
Another reason it might be stuck with you
the same reason several of mine are stuck with me! A very sad note from IWC saying "Don't send it to us, we don't want it either!" Cazalea ...
Oh dear. This one runs well though, since it seems never to really have been used.
Do you have any of the IWC pieces, Mike?
I have some watches, yes
I do have some of the IWC / PD - yes. but no spare parts for this I do have a number of catalogs from back then and my friend Martin has this remake of yours which he lets me wear ...
It was an interesting epoch for IWC
I am surprised there is a remake. I wasn’t aware! By IWC ? It seems I’m not the only one in the world who find the model interesting. The remake is a bit different in that you see your arm trough the compass. Thanks for posting this!
Hello dear Christian! You choose a great watch to open the thread as an example of what a "Queen Safe" can mean to a watch aficionado. This is a most interesting
... timepiece with a very unusual design which brings you much pleasure owning even if you actually never wear it. And this is enough motive to keep it in your collection! Will come back later with some pictures of a few Safe Queens from my own watch box....
My kingdom for a safe queen
My queen outside its kingdom To be honest it is too much money on the wrist. I commute everyday and don’t want to over expose it... sad world ...
Now, that is one beautiful watch!
I agree the world is becoming dangerous to watch collectors, sadly. The hobby has become more mainstream and with that much more attention on your wrist from criminals.
I just cannot believe it, for sure this is a superb safe queen ;)
I did not know you have this sleeping beauty in your safe jut WOW !!!
This is a most beautiful timepiece Psfparis! It happens the same with my own 6238: value has increased so much lately that the fear to have it robbed or damaged makes me use it less...
... and less, but the pleasure to have it on my wrist is so high! Agree that we live in a sad world! Hagwe! Abel
Superb watch in amazing condition
That seconc pic is absolutely stunning !!! Huge congrats ! You are right you must be careful and make sure you wear it in safe conditions
True story as relayed by my pal Scott, who posts here . . .
. . . occasionally under the log-in sdd7820: Scott was shepherding a group of new employees at a company function when he noticed a young lady wearing what appeared to be a Paul Newman. Figuring it had to be fake, he angled for a closer look. Sure enough,...
Thanks you my friend! My all-time favorite reference.
I know I was lucky to find this one which is the second one I’ve had
Thank you so much, Abel :-)
I am very excited about what we will see this weekend. I look forward to see what you find for us warm regards Christian
Just a spectacular lineup, my friend!
My favorites are the Geomatic and that stunning 5402!
Super Queens Nico, really superb ! I vote for the MN and...
that superb AP RO 5402 !!!
A rose gold watch? Now, that is a surprise
I would never had thought that the Breitling is a military watch: it looks so playful, fresh and light 👌
Great theme my friend .
Here a watch i bought 15+years ago because it looks great with my RR . Still i never wear it . My Corum RR . Looks small on my wrist imo but still i do like it . Hagwe my friends🤗 ...
Oh, my gosh- we have a winner here.
I absolutely love it!!! It was hoping this kind of stuff would come out. And you have the car as well. I tip my hat to you, Sir! 👍😊 Thank you, my friend for this 😍
Thanks for the kind words my friend .
I have to admit its also the first time i shot some pics from the watch. 😬 i dont think i will ever wear it but happy i have got it 🤗
Yes i still have the RR .
Its a car with a nice history and its in the fam for more then 20 years now . Such a great car imo
Hello dear Christian! I already told about my concept of what...
... a Safe Queen means so I will show here two watches I almost never wear because of their size but which give me a high enjoyment just to view them. As a matter of fact I don’t keep them in a safe but on my desk at home and I find a lot of pleasure view...
Thank you, my friend
This one I bought new 2005. The pictures are recent, so as you can see it is like new.
almost for 15 years now. But I only wore it the first years, hoping I would come back to it. The design is actuallly super.
It is just that now i dont like anything bigger that 40 mm and I prefer thin cases. Its just my preference now!
Well undertand you Christian. 40 mm is my favorite size for sport watches though I make an exception if big size is in the dna of certain...
... Types like Pilot watches or Panerai for example.
Thank you Nicolas! Agree with you. The regular Big Pilot at 46 mm is a more wearable watch. There is a larger version than the Heritage...
That one is really big! I own since about four years now. Abrazos amigo mio!
That qualifies as big...
And if I recall correctly, it is as LOUD as it is big! Super cool one you have there, Cpt.
It’s incredibly LOUD...
and it’s got a big personality, I can’t help loving this watch for what it is.
