I was inspired by the new Aquatimers (http://www.iwc.com/en/collection/aquatimer/), so I pulled mine out for a little wrist time. The new 2000 looks awesome!!!

HAG1!!

Enjoy in the best of health.

Thursday!! Uhu!!!!!! Almost Friday!!!

I don´t know if you guys remember, but I will say Again!

The AR was spotted. I don´t know why, but Could be because the alcohol Gel, or many things it´s my first time this happened, anyway was bother me, so I took it to Omega Center(AD) called Watch time, and they remove the AR

So anyway now it´s better I think just bother me very much in the Sun, Oh boy At least Omega have another AR inside

What you guys think?

Nicely said, Rashid. I couldn't agree more. Ken's humble perspective is always refreshing.

It's always been my believe that it's the man that defines the collection and not the other way around.

Great post Rashid. I absolutely agree with you. There are many here like Ken who have watch collections valued in the many hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet they still have the class and dignity to rejoice in even the smallest watch purchase by members (like me) who will never come close to their collections. They do so because they aren't collecting for show. They collect for the joy and passion they have for the hobby. And they share that with us. I would love to join these men for beers one evening and talk about all things, not just watches. I bet it would be a fascinating conversation.
