New arrival - IWC Yacht Club
I searched for one of these, on-and-off for about 6 years. During that time I acquired two other models of IWC that I always wanted. It was kind of strange that this one - being the most numerous watch ever made by IWC, ended up being the last in line.
This is a pretty rough pair of pics and the watch needs a gently polish with a cape cod, but I think it looks quite nice as is. Hope there are some other IWC YC owners here on this excellent Rolex site. Cheers Richard Last edited by Welshwatchman; 8 January 2013 at 07:21 AM.. |

Love it. Almost looks like the old version of a Milgauss.

I think it seems a good alternative to a smooth bezel DJ of the same period both in size (36mm) and styling as well. I am not familiar with the earlier Milgauss so perhaps a bit of google research is in order on my part. Cheers Richard |

Editing this post?
Can I ask any of the viewers of this post if the images are still up? I moved them in photobucket and I can see them on my desktop but they have "fallen off" on my iPad.
I also cannot seem to see the "edit" button on the post - it is like I am not not eligible to see it? I was going to update the image links but cannot see an edit button? Any advice appreciated. Richard |

Update on editing ...
On the post immediately above, I get an edit button at the bottom of the post. Just not available on the first post in the thread ... a mystery?
