    I had dinner with the big boss from the USA last week (when I say big boss think $15MM pa in salary) and he was sitting across the table from me and I noticed that he was wearing an IWC Top Gun Mirama with ceramic case and I commented up on it. He was very impressed that I recognised his watch. I then showed him my Da Vinci I was wearing and we got on fine. He got his as a birthday present from his wife. It is a good way to get noticed by the big boss.

    Welcome Bryant. Your photos are excellent and of course, who doesn't love the PPC?

    As for the college fund, the mantra at our house is "scholarships."

    Thank you very much. The Power of iphone and Olloclip! I dont know if I will be getting anymore IWCs in the future... There is one on my radar, but after the watches Ive bought this year, it might be next year when I can pull it off...

    Where: Geneva
    Place: Sushi restaurant
    When: After SIHH, I think about 6 years ago
    Who: A great group of IWC fans, including MF and Kurt Klaus
    In The Wild: A Jubilee Portugieser on a gentleman in the next table over- I'm thinking is was a RG or PT version. The guy wore it as his everyday watch.
    Verdict: Classy

    Nelson, first of all congrats on your post number 2000.
    Second, I do remember the scene at the Sushi restaurant in Geneva; the guy was wearing a RG Jubilee, but he told us that he had also bought the platinum one, to take on business trips so everyone would think he had a steel watch on his wrist. We didn't tell him the Jubilee existed also in steel :))
