    Those of you with long memories might remember that I had my 40th birthday in late April. I said then that I wanted a Vintage Collection piece as my present (not that I consider myself vintage, you understand!) for this personal jubilee. As the collection took a while to reach the UK, it is only now that I have seen them all in the flesh...and made my choice.
    I can't stop staring at it.




    It's been quite a week for new acquisitions for forum members.

    Regards,
    Ross

    Great choice...

    Staring at your new watch all day is the best part of the present.

    Nicely done. Enjoy your new / old IWC

    I am thrilled with my VC Portofino and I know you too will have the same reaction to your new VC.

    Join the club, welcome!

    I think you made an excellent choice. In fact, when I look at my left arm I see the same watch at the moment. It is a thrilling beauty, and you made some very nice pictures of her.

    Enjoy!

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing VC Portuguese

    Happy belated birthday Ross!

    Congratulations on this stunning watch! The advantage of a belated birthday present is that there are (probably) less invitees so you can stare at it longer :-)

    You made some stunning pictures and am I correct that under the ruby closest to the word 'FAST' you can see a cog wheel?

    Enjoy your new watch and wear it in good health.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens
