This is my 3000th post here. I love this forum. To me, it's a lot of fun and something I try not to take too seriously. No secret that I am a huge IWC fan. Absolutely love them. One of the coolest things about IWC is this forum and the people I have met here. I have formed, what I like to think, will be some great and lasting friendships. How cool is that? I am obsessed with IWC. Long May that continue. Hope to meet a whole lot more of you in the future.
Here is a small collection of pics from over the last few years.
Meeting Tom and Tilo for the first time in Schaffhausen.

One of the coolest things I have done courtesy of IWC. Invited onboard AZZAM, the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Teams boat!

That is me steering the boat!

Another amazing experience I have been lucky enough to have thanks to IWC was a visit to SIHH. Pictures speak for themselves.
