I thought I would share my watch journey and how I came to get my first IWC. I hope to participate more in this forum moving forward. My first " real " watch was a Breitling Bentley 6.75. My second was a Breitling Superocean 125th Anniversary edition, my 3rd was a Panerai 448 ( the 6.75 was sold to fund this one). I had actually gotten kind of ashamed to wear the 6.75 as it was so Blingy. Then I saw Nad's post on another forum about his IWC Laureus Yacht Club. Wow, what a great looking watch. So I did what we all do, I became obsessed with everything IWC. Reading this forum up and down. I emailed Nad a few times to get some info on the watch. I tried one on in Vegas a year ago, but didn't have the resources to pick it up. I then kind of forgot about it, but still visited this forum every day. Then I saw the Rolex blue dialed yacht master and thought I had to have it, but it was just to small. So back to the IWC, but now I couldn't find one. Well Im happy to say I found one and its on my wrist. My AD was lucky to secure a brand new one for me and I love it. Here it is next to its family. Thanks for reading.
