    I am conscious that I have not originated many threads recently. I seem to have been very snowed under. However, today, I made an effort and got out my Canon and took some snaps.

    First up is my Mark 11. I picked it up from my AD about a month ago. It has spent 5 or 6 months in Schaffhausen enjoying a service and refurb. The case still carries a few cockpit marks but the crystal was replaced. The previous crystal carried a scar that could not be polished out without affecting the integrity of the watch. It now keeps good time. The dial was obviously replaced in 1963 or 64. It was not replaced in Schaffhausen. I am rather pleased with the finished product.

    Excellent pick up with the Mark 11. I know you will cherish this in your amazing collection. Hope life settle down for you and that we see more of you around here once more.

    Really nice Mark 11! Perhaps, still, IWC's most famous watch and one that lately hasn't been discussed as much as before here.

    On posting photos you can't use old-style HTML code which used < >. instead we use IMG code which uses brackets. If you wish, e-mail me and we'll figure it out (I don't use Flickr so I don't know the choices. If you try photo bucket you'll see choices for either HTML and IMG code.)

    Ralph,

    You need to set up a mobile jet photo and computing lab so we can see more of your pictures. You are never in one place for very long. LOL
    Nice photos! 1-4

    Ralph, indeed you were missed and we are most happy to see you come back strong, with certainly some great posting and pictures.

    I know that it must have been some debate (and Ardoise and other have clear opinions too) on replacing the crystal - but as your picture shows, you know have a stunning Mark 11, and it can stand proud amongst your collection.

    Enjoy.....
