Cheers Chris. It really is. Even more so in the flesh than in the pics.

Nice to see the CFDV Jim. It's rare!!

Jarrod
You are forgetting one special Da Vinci, here on my wrist, not Steff's ;-)
I nearly "forgot" to give it back

Hi, Jarrod!

Maybe you´ve seen the link to the interview I made with George Kern. The last question I asked for you ... unfortunately sad news for you ... he said that there will be no more Tonneau cases ... perhaps you can use the Google translator.

Eine kurze Zeit lang hat IWC mit der Da Vinci eine Tonneau-Uhr - also eine viereckige Uhr - gebaut. Kommt das wieder oder war das nur eine Modeerscheinung?
George Kern: "Formuhren machen nur 30 Prozent des Marktes aus. 70 Prozent des Marktes sind runde Uhren. Eine Tonneau-Uhr ist ein Nischenprodukt und kann dann interessant sein, wenn man sie auch als solches verkaufen möchte – limitiert und in geringer Auflage. Wenn wir wieder eine Da Vinci machen, dann wird sie aber rund sein."

Christian,

I know the tonneau is a dead duck. I cried myself to sleep for several weeks but I am ok now. And there are still plenty for sale to keep me busy collecting for years to come so it's not all bad news. :-)

Just another pic of my favourite watch.

I have to say you're making a convincing case Jarrod - just by posting photos!

That 3766 is beautiful and the lure of the tonneau case (about to be retired) is strong. If not me, then I'm almost certain you'll prompt some other forum member to pick one up!

Nice gallery of DaVincis here. That ceramic is really cool - the white gold Edition Kurt Klaus is stunning.

I'm wearing an Ingenieur today - here's a photo of my DaVinca from a few years ago...

I hope so. I really do. :-)

Love that DV Richard. One day.

Two of my favourite's.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures. I really like the Vintage Da Vinci and I realize it's not everybody's cup of tea. I also really like the KKDV with black dial but that's a rather rare one if I'm correct.

Kind regards,

Clemens
