- Overly long and wordy update on the collection and teaser of a new watch which I will post a video about sometime in the near future. IWC Mark, XX, Spitfire bronze, top gun chronograph. 41 ceratanium, Portugieser 42 perpetual calendar 344202
Great video, thanks for sharing. I just got my first IWC - the Mark XX with a silver dial. I absolutely love it. So clean and elegant.
Congratulations! It’s incredibly versatile. Black strap or bracelet?
Amazing collection. Thank you for the video.
Ha that's funny, we might both be tripping, but you're right about the SCHAFFHAUSEN on the dials. I just blew up a couple pics of my Mark XVI and Ingenieur 3570 and it appears as though the bottoms of the F's are slightly higher than the other letters. I think it's just an optical illusion, but who knows, these luxury watch makers can be super quirky in their little details of slight.
I’ll show the perpetual calendar soon and you’ll see it is uneven as well.
Nice collection. Looking forward to some wrist shots of the Portuguese. Feel like you have all the bases covered with that IWC collection. Intrigued to see what VC you had in mind…… happy collecting!
Overseas or overseas dual time black dial. But I just don’t know if I could justify another watch in the collection without purging some, and I can’t think of an IWC that I’d be willing to part with.
Love the chronograph, looks amazing
Iwc are very addictive and expensive
Yes and yes. But I think my itch is sufficiently scratched.
@@Randyswatches absolutely, 4 iwcs is more than enough, if I had the money I would like 3, only have a mark 18 but is by far my favourite watch I've owned
I’ve been obsessing with the green dial IWC model IW329306 just simple no date or complications as my last watch in my collection 👌🏽, but will probably settle for the JLC green reverso.
That’s not settling, that’s a great piece. The black/white on the brown leather is something I thought hard about. Happy hunting!
Will you get the Ingenieur ? I love the ceratanium pilot. Stealthy AF 😍
I will get the Inginieur if they develop exchangeable straps and a micro-adjust. The ceratanium is just an incredible all-around watch. Thanks for the comment!
I love the mark 20, it's my dream but I don't think ill ever have it lol
The Grand Canyon was once just a trickling stream. The more discipline and patience you have, the sweeter it will be to look at it on your wrist. Open an account, save $1000 a year, and in 5 years buy a used piece that will remind you every day of your own value and determination.
@@Randyswatches You really have a way with words; you're fluent and persuasive.
Sir you're a real inspiration! Thanks for the words of encouragement, I'll definitely be putting them into practice.
Nice video. What kind of strap do you have on the Top Gun chrono?
Ritchie canvass. They are almost exactly the same as Barton but a little more substantial.
I don’t think this strap can work with my IWC as it has the easy x strap
I'm seriously considering the Top Gun 41. I don't like it too big. I came from a Rolex Sea Dweller, 43mm, it was thick and top heavy so I sold it. I want something light and daily friendly but price point is on the higher end. Is it mainly because of the material? I'm new to IWC. Also loving the clear case back!
It’s a great piece, and more are becoming available. It also wears very light for its size.
The cost is due to the ceratanium, which has a high failure rate in production. It’s a very difficult metal to mass produce. There are less expensive full titanium or ceramic versions that I think look great, and don’t discount stainless steel. There’s a specific C.03 with black on stainless steel that is a 250 piece limited edition that is stunning.
@@Randyswatches Thank you! I read that Ceratanium can get marks easily and is not easy to clean. Do you find that true?
No. Any marks on it are just other material rubbing off onto the case. The case is not coated, the metal is hardened to an extreme, like ceramic. Mine is still flawless.
How many IWCs do you need? :)
I’m done. The box fits 4. I feel like it’s a sign.
Add another 4 piece box 😂
God… maybe. I could easily pick another 4. Portofino hand wound, big pilot, enginieur titanium (vintage), and Novecento
