A Mark XVII Birthday...

Congratulations. You are very lucky - what a great birthday gift! I might leave your post lying around for my mother-in-law to see....

Jez

Thanks again, Paul!

Meanwhile I managed to put my brain to work and I finally understood how it is done, it is actually quite simple - press the push button and pull outwards - one just has to be careful not to mess up the small links.

Cheers!

Thanks, Jez. It just might be worth it... ;-)

Happy belated birthday. What a gift! IMHO one of the best looking watches in the pilot line. Enjoy it.

Todd

That's a wonderful gift. The only downside is that now you can't make mother-in-law jokes. :) Congratulations!

Happy Birthday Jeronimo and congrats on your new IWC.

Great present.

Thanks, Todd, I feel this one is going to get lots of wrist time...

Thanks, David! Lol!

So you're going to relocate back to the US... We're not going to have more of your beautiful photos with those fantastic alpine backgrounds. :-(
But at least you'll have a very appropriate setting for your YC... Looking forward for photos with the sea!

All the best!

Grazie, Giovanni!

Getting a new watch is always a great feeling, but getting one unexpectedly is even better.

Now I think I managed to capture it in a proper way...

Thanks!

Happy Birthday belated.

I need to talk with my mother in law, I got a card for my birthday. LOL.
Enjoy and wear it in good health.

Regards,
Kevin

Many thanks, Kevin!

I hope this is the beginning of a trend... LOL!

Great pictures of a truly amazing watch. To me, this watch is without competition in this price segment, the pictures show why.

Kind regards,
Paul

Many thanks, Paul. And I couldn't agree more...

Congratulations and excuse my delayed wishes, Jeronimo.
A stunning birthday present and a mother-in-law with an excellent taste!
Keep and wear your watch in good health as well as your mother-in-law. Be curious what will happen on April 8th, 2014, a BP? ;-)

Best regards

Thank you so much, Hajo!
I'm very happy with the Mark XVII - and with my Mother-in-Law!
I'm also keeping my hopes high for next year! :-)

Cheers!

Happy belated birthday, Jeronimo! You mother-in-law did you proud with her choice of gift!

That's a wonderful gift no matter who it comes from.
