Hi Bill,
It's apparent how much you enjoy your AT2000 White Dial and how proudly you wear it on many of your travels. Given your appreciation and comment on the white dial AT in this thread, my guess is that you now want to join the VC-AT club and might have secured one soon to arrive in the states.
If my guess is correct, no doubt how much you are going to enjoy it.
Can't wait for reveal.
Best,
Andy
Great Bill. Looking forward to your reveal. Will we need to wait until Christmas, or will we know before?
In 2012 I acquired a number of IWC's, too many infact, I was afflicted with a severe form of IWCitis.
I got this one.
and this one
and this one
and this one

and then finally two nights ago I bought this one (still waiting for it to arrive)
My god I think I need help.
Didn't mean to hijack this post, but I couldn't help to add my comments onto this discussion...
In a way I agree with you both. I am a fan of Gerald Genta's design. That's why I adore the Ingenieur series (and that means I think I will probably be in trouble next year). I do prefer IWC's "cleaner" design to a few other brands' though. Anyway, let's not go into that.
I'm still curious as to why Regulateur let go of his YC Chrono for the Hublot though (just curious to know the rationale behind that decision).
I haven't posted any acquisition to this thread yet, as December isn't over yet... perhaps I still have a chance to acquire one more before the end of this year, in addition to this:
fingers-crossed!
I hope to have it next week, Saturday. Then to my basement for a few pics and the reveal.
Thanks for the nice comment about the 5001.
What is different for me than the "old days" is that I am mostly retired, though I still do a little consulting. Thus, disposable income is quite a bit different than when I was working full time.
CHAMPTHEKID,
Nice close up pic and totally agreed on the PP.
Great collection.
Bill,
I know you can't wait to get your hands on that limited beauty! Heh, heh
2012 was nice for me:
Just one in 2012, the VC Aquatimer. Currently in for regulation with IWC London, hoping for safe return before Christmas. I miss it!
Thank you Fleekk. Nice of you to say so.
The VC Aquatimer is on my wish list for 2013. Waiting for my usual sources to obtain one.
We'll be looking for your post next week, Bill. Any other hints other than being "limited?" From the current collection, or the past?
I have no idea where to start. :-)
I like his watch...so that is a great starting point... LOL
Very easy: I can't keep too many watches - they would not get enough wrist time, and what is the use of having watches in your safe which you don't wear regularly? And of course - if you want something more than what you have, you are likely to sell the thing you have to get it.
Just three, so far, this year:
A pocket watch I have not yet photographed.
A Yacht-Club
And the Miramar
As Alan said, he likes it. It fits with the upcoming holiday season. Obtuse, hint that one.
