Yes, that’s very likely to happen before too long. I’m just not particularly keen on IWC prices for a new one.

Yep :thumbsup:

You posted to say you don’t like green dials? Errr, noted :dontknow:

Still on mine...

No, not at all (and with that wide angle lens, it’ll look much better IRL).

Stunner! I absolutely love this watch, but the price is just a little bit too rich for me to bite the bullet.


Beautiful, well done.

I’m so glad I started this thread. I always felt that IWC was a bit of an unsung hero on TZ, worthy of far more attention than it was getting!

Love that! Any more detail?

Definitely buy on the bracelet. IWC bracelets are superb and if you decide to get one after the event you’ll be well and truly fleeced. You’ll probably get a strap thrown in for nothing if you ask,...

What a bummer!

He’s good, but he won’t be able to overcome damage to a Mark XII bezel without there being noticeable changes to shape. I doubt it could even be successfully laser welded given the age and...

Oh no!!! How the hell could they make such monumental mistakes?

I'm not surprised that you were livid.

Two that I had and then let go. In fact, I arranged a meet up with a TZer in Geneva to pick up my Yacht Club. (Did you buy it from me?)

I'm after a bracelet for my chrono as well. Hens teeth, and £1400 new!

Thanks, but there's a dink and scuffs to the bezel, which is a problem as the bezel is part of the top (middle?) case. They're very, very hard to refinish satisfactorily if they have damage.

Good...

I was on the verge of buying back my 666 a few days ago, and have been looking for another decent Mark XII for a few years now. The one I really wish I still had is the 3228, though.

I really do like this brand - lots of heritage (and an interesting back story), and some really solid model series to suit most tastes (Mark, Pilot, Big Pilot, Aquatimer, Ingenieur, Portuguese, etc)....
