    [color=#333333]I've acquired pieces mainly from the 60's and 70's, maybe one, two  or three pieces per year and only timepieces that I like. Some are considered "important", others are more obscure references. [/color] [color=#333333]Here are a few pictures that shows the current state of my vintage IWC collection, hope you enjoy:[/color]

    One absolutely spectacular collection of some of the most amazing and beautiful vintage IWCs in just pristine condition. More like a little museum than a collection. Outstanding Anders!

    Wow Anders, that's a really beautiful collection of very important and outstanding watches. The condition of the watches and the passion you put in your collection is fantastic too. I really love it. Just missing a vintag Portugieser, e. g. a Jubilee. ;-)

    Exquisite taste in your examples from the past, Anders!  They are all important, really, because they are what you like.
    Congratulations on a wonderful selection.

    What a superb collection, or as Ben says, a little museum!
    I really enjoy coming back to this thread to admire each piece and learn about the movements and eras.
    Congrats Anders - this must bring you immense joy and satisfaction.

    Hi Anders,
    Sometimes I have the feeling that collectors of IWC vintage wrist watches are too modest, shy or afraid to be considered as show off persons.
    How great it is to see here not only the shining new models but also the great icons which have made IWC a superb watch manufacturer.
    Congratulations and thanks for showing.
    Adrian,

    Gentlemen,

    thank you so much for your positive comments!

    This Forum, and you active members, have been very important for inspiration as well as for acquisition of pure knowledge during the years I’ve been an active collector.

    Wish you all a great summer!

    Great watches and beautiful collection. Good taste and good knowledge of the iwc story. If I can suggest something, as I see you are a pure collector,  I'll try to add an ingenieur 666 and 866 without date + a Da Vinci 3750. This last one is for me the real icona of the "second" era of IWC and it is absolutely necessary to have it in a great collection.
