    I must admit I didn't plan it this way, but today the postman came twice to deliver two new IWC watches on the same day. I have been thinking to add a Portuguese 5001 again to my collection because I missed a more dressier watch. So I decided to go for the 5001-09: classic, understated and IWC all the way.

    Yesterday I found another watch that was on my wishlist too at a price I couldn't resist. Located in Budapest of all places. But the seller was friendly and kind and arranged to ship the watch overnight at no extra costs. So today the beautifull and much underestimated Ingenieur 3234 with ceramic bezel could be added to my collection. And what a great watch this is in person. Pictures just don't do it justice. It has a perfect size and wears very comfortable. I know many don't like the fact that it has a display back, but I'm not a real purist so I don't mind. This watch represent great enginering and craftsmanship as one might expect form IWC.

    Needless to say I'm happy...

    Regards
    Norbert

    You have excellent taste.....

    particularly evident through your recognition of the beauty of the 3234 :)
    As you may have guessed, I am also not a purist - I am wearing mine as I type (although on a bracelet).
    The Portuguese is just about perfect.

    Congratulations on a super pair.

    Very nice

    I particularly like the Portuguese, it is very dressy indeed. The effect is about the same as with my steel VC Portuguese, which I love a lot. Enjoy! You can vary them quite nicely without getting bored.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing yellow gold Portuguese Perpetual Calendar

    Great watches and pictures Norbert!

    Both are very nice and in your line of work, magnetic shielding is of less importance than where I hang out :-)

    Enjoy them both and wear them in good health.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Double wammy!

    It's exciting to receive one watch, but I can't imagine how it must have felt to get 2 in one day! :)

    Congrats, both are great choices.

    Norbert, this is getting obessional >

    You had better turn yourself in at the clinic.

    But before you do, enjoy your new watches to the max!

    Two additions in one day...

    Norbert, you may easily state " Needless to say I'm happy..."

    I can only say, most of us out here are simply "jealous"....and/or admiring you on this one.

    2 great watches...enjoy the 5001!

    Best regards
    Mark
