20 years of ARDOISE love (and a reveal)

Congratulations with two big milestones Bob, a wonderful wedding anniversary and a gorgeous YC. That strap makes it much more classy - great choice!

Thank you so much for your pictures! I looks like the watch is just not too large for you and as such possibly not too large for me either. And the strap with the gator inlay is a treat, much more classy than the one it comes with. Some day IWC might offer this strap as an alternative to buy the watch with.
Use it in good health and happy new year!

Bob , congratulations on your choices ......not bad photography either

Thanks Ivan, it's all about catching the light and trying to avoid reflections, then even an iPhone can produce nice pictures as you can see.

Kind regards,

Bob

Happy New Year Bob,

Hi Bob
What a way to see in the new year with another ardoise Portugieser.
Just lovely. Big congrats both on the acquisition and 20 year anniversary.

Bob, congratulations on a great watch and a great anniversary.
It's a real beauty. I love the dial and the watch.

Big congrats on both counts Bob. Love that YC.

Beautiful one, congratulations Bob! Wear it in good health.

Bob, don't believe I almost missed this great post.

Super occasion to mark with such a grand addition to your collection and there is no denying that that is indeed one extremely handsome timepiece!

Wear in good health my friend, and here's looking to you gifting the Mrs. Pearls in 10 years from now.

Thanks Mark, 'Mrs. Pearls' is quite funny!! See you soon!

Kind regards,

Bob
