    travel and work and WIS stuff is keeping me on my toes in the immediate past, and future weeks, but the vintage bug gave no rest to the weary --- thankfully in feverish delirium these few pieces (pardon the non-IWC)I managed to spot and pick up when presented with the very good pricing. so here they are, still incomplete and awaiting 'accessories'...

    Love the pocket watch, Shing. Great pickup. And finally, a crown that protrudes more than that on the BP. Congratulations.

    That's quite a variety, Shing. You should travel more often to have things like this waiting for you when you return.

    Great vintage pieces Shing, and owning a Pallweber is owning a distinct piece of IWC history.

    Which history, is also found back Shing in your magnificent Ref. 3761 Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar, with that Jump Digit Digital Date-Month display. There might be around 140+ years between them, and a whole lot of engineered improvements to the mechanism - but the design principles are still there.

    Shing -

    Great new acquisitions!

    The size and breadth of the IWC collection that you've amassed in such a short time is staggering. Perhaps you should start up a non-profit organization and call your home a museum to derive some sort of tax benefit. (LOL)

    Wow, between you and Andrew there is never a dull moment in the acquisition of IWC pieces. And I suspect Zenith is a close second brand...

    Shing, the impressive thing about your Pallweber is how all the numbers are aligned.

    At that age, I've seen a few that don't line up as nicely!

    Great week for you, many congrats my friend!

    @ Nad, one thing I learned about our Man Shing.....he always insist the numbers not only line up, but add up too! LoL

    Shing. Nice acquisitions there. Well on your way to building up a collection worthy of its own museum.

    Shing,
    You will be opening a display room in the HK Boutique?? LOL. Can't believe you have enough room at home to display your rapidly expanding collection. Good work and enjoy.

    Regards,

    Excellent findings Shing, congratulations!

    Do you see how nicely that watch sits on your wrist?

    Nice pallweber also!

    Keep going!
