Hi all - sharing a recent win for me. I'm always on the lookout for used
vintage IWC and frequently follow auctions and sales postings.
Porsche Design by IWC of the 80's have always intrigued me (was born in '83 so
it's the best decade :) and have owned a handful of Ocean 2000's - 3509 Bund
and other civilian types. Along the way I learned about the all black TiCON
with the special blackening process and really love the look / just my vibe.
Exceptionally little information on the net about them and almost no examples
online to lust over.
This past month I found an auction for one and followed its status multiple
times a day for weeks / when the moment came I viciously used my tomahawk BID
button to ensure it came to me. Success!
What shown up was even better than expected - a nearly NOS example with full
links in the bracelet. After gently soaking the bracelet I could resize it and
it wears totally perfect.
Now I'm enjoying wearing this mint rare bird and sharing my tale with you.
Would love to share and exchange info about these special Ocean 2000's.
Matt
