Today it's the first of June. That and the good weather is reason enough to post a new wrist shot!
I really like the reflection of the blue drops on the dial, something I didn't notice when I took the pictures and only saw when scaling the image.
What are you all wearing today?
Kind regards,
Clemens
3723 for me on first of June. Walking Jun Jun in the park. :)

Nice watch SC, I was wearing that one yesterday. Too bad I don't have the Ti bracelet with it, just the rubber strap.
Kind regards,
Clemens
Nice. Split-minute?
At first glance I thought it was my mere chronograph... Then I saw the date indicator being at the 6 o'clock!
clemens we are colored co-ordinated shirt-wise today :)
it was a steaming 34 Degrees Celsius in HK .. so hot that my 502303 seemed to loom BIGGER so after trotting back home I thought it appropriate to cool off. pool's open for summer !
It's the day for the rose gold in my rotation!
So, the story goes...
Yesterday was the end of May--and I was told was the last day before IWC raises its prices in Hong Kong (not sure about other countries).
So, I took a colleague (who was in the market for either an IWC or a JLC) to visit my favorite AD.
My favorite salesman greeted us and served us... but my colleague didn't make up his mind.
As for me... I was really just tagging along...
...and since I already own an older titanium aquatimer, I didn't think much of the newer ones (I thought they looked rather hedious at first... pardon me)...
So... I totally let my guard down...
and... while my friend was trying some other IWCs, I accidentally put on this one...
...hrmm... wow... it does look very smart! suddenly I fell in love (again) with it! Not to mention its price was rather attractive...
So... while my friend walked out empty-handed... I... couldn't resist the temptation...
here it is... my latest, rather basic, aquatimer 2000. I think I will swing by the boutique to get a rubber strap for it next week... hrmm...
(moral of the story? Don't ever, ever take your friend to visit your favorite AD until you are absolutely ready for another watch!)
:-)
Great story ABS0 and congratulations on your new Aquatimer!
Kind regards,
Clemens
Shing, that white gold Perpetual is sooo nice.. Thanks for the pictures!
Kind regards,
Clemens
Very nice and clean Portofino Jim. I think this model doesn't get the attention it deserves.
Kind regards,
Clemens
my congratulations Kelvin :)
thks. not quite used to pulling out my camera phone and just taking a shot - gotta get used to it ! and until then, its the same old home/cab/table top shots :(
Thanks Clemens...it is my favorite dress watch.
GST Day....
I love this IWC, Alan.
Taking this one for a spin today. Clement: where is the coffee today?

One more try and I'll give up:
liu_watch you have a beautiful piece there...
The same watch as yesterday :-)
A really splendid story OF how to accidentally expand the IWC collection.
Very nice everyone. ABS0 I was actually contemplating trying on what you just acquired or the 376710 lately. Would you mind telling me if you by any chance know the hkg price for the stainless steel bracelet and the rubber strap if they are to be ordered post purchase (may be pm me in the other place if you care haha), cheers!
sure, will let you know if and when I swing by the boutique possibly sometime next week.
