It is quite unfortunate that I just discovered again - quite dishearteningly at this thread - https://www.iwc.com/member/forum/display.asp?id=213433
This image you have posted several times on this forum had been altered to remove my watermark and copyright notice. The image you posted is clearly shown in its original state in the link to my blog below.
As a watch enthusiast I can understand the desire to download and keep images but to use it as you had done is against my moral rights to retain the image intact and unaltered.
It is quite unfortunate that such practices in the end discourages others to share their photographs and in the end everyone looses. It is such practices that results in having to watermark my images right across the image - which is a great shame really.
Accordingly please remove the offending image and refrain from posting any of my images in the altered state.
It is not my intention to dampen the enthusiasm and enjoyment of IWC watches but the level of disappointment of seeing how my image had been altered was difficult to swallow without taking some action.
