IWC Vintage Collection Pilot's Watch

Just received my new IWC Vintage Collection Pilot's Watch IW325401. I love the details in the dial and bezel.

Hi BIW,

welcome to the forum, and many congratulations on your acquisition - you've showed off the dial especially the hands so well in your pic.

BIW, congratulations you have selected a great example of IWC's pilot watches.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.
Wear it in good health and post some photos of where your new watch has taken you.
Regards,
Kevin

That's one of my favorites! Congratulations and welcome!!!

Congratulations on your VC Pilot's watch. This series has been a favorite for many of us. My VC Portofino is in Schaffhausen for a bit of surgery. I eagerly wait its return.

Congratulations BIW. Welcome to the forum and take extra care of the bezel when you are walking around.

Where is Paul? I know he loves this Pilot.

Welcome BIW - I am not a big pilot watch man but not only does that one look cool, your photo - with the composition, the lighting and the focus is a real winner. Makes me like it :-)

Hi Alan, hi BIW, hi all, here I am! Indeed, this is one of my favourite watches, kind of Friday watch, the only casual object on me when I am working, like tomorrow: that's a promise!

So, a great watch indeed, BIW, I am sure you will enjoy it! If memory serves me well, at the introduction of these Vintage Collection watches this Pilot's watch wasn't received that favourably, but some correction in the appreciation has happened, rightfully so! Maybe on sales it was OK from the beginning, but we do not know that. I was pretty long alone with mine here, as far as the watches were shown.

Kind regards,
Paul

Glad to meet a fellow owner, Paul. I also believe this watch was a sleeper. After I purchased the VC Portofino, I had my eyes on this beauty. The "toothed" bezel is amazing, and I can see how it can be vulnerable by catching on things.

Bill, let us know how your crown change goes on your VC Portofino!

Nice shot BIW! Wear it in best of health!
