All I want for Christmas is ..................

Not everyone here celebrates Christmas - so apologies for those who don't - but for those who do it is traditionally a time for giving and receiving. I hope that each and every one of us have continued good health - and therefore in the full position to appreciate the simple and finer elements of a new member to their IWC collection.

Today I was in Schaffhausen - the 8th time this year - and picked up two watches that I am planning to place under the Weihnachtsbaum - Christmas Tree.

I won't forget to share with you on the 25th.

I keep my fingers crossed for your dream IWC watches appearing in your Christmas stockings.

This is known as the "Andrew Thomas Christmas Tease"

LOL

Well I certainly hope you don't have to wait two
weeks to wear it. I bought another IWC yesterday from an out of state AD and it'll arrive Monday; I haven't decided if I'll hold off til the 25th or open it right away.

Alan, you are sooo right!

8 times this year ??

I think all I want for Christmas is ONE trip to Schaffhausen :o)

I guess I have to ride much harder to get to where you are Andrew - and I cannot wait to see what you have under that tree of yours!!

So true! Unfortunately, when it comes to vintage pieces it's not so easy as entering AD's door and ask for the watch you want :(

I hate vintage! LOL

Can't wait to see your choices, my eyes are still full of admiration for your Patrouille Suisse.

P.S. You should be banned for this teasing... LOL

Andrew, Can't wait to see your new additions. I hope you aren't waiting two more weeks to wear them?? Life is short, they need wrist time.
Regards, and enjoy your new watches you earned them this year.

Season's greetings Thomas,
Assuming the IWCs you will be placing under the Christmas Tree are a gift to self, you have merged into one single act the Christmas tradition of giving and receiving.
Brilliant. IWC Christmas gifts to self. Why didn't I think of that? :-)

All I want for Christmas is the watch that I finally bought on Friday after a 2 year wait! Hope you like it...

Henry,
Congratulations and wear it in good health. Welcome to the forum.
Hope to see you here frequently.
Regards,
Kevin

I would imagine Polo Club for one thing...

I will be picking up my new IWC gift tomorrow for my tree. The box will remain under the tree but the watch will be with me.

Hope you guys get great gifts...

Cheers

Merry Christmas Andrew...and I can't wait to see what is under the tree!

Thanks for you kind words to everybody Andrew! I won't forget to check in on the 25th, all I want is a steel GST Aquatimer ;-)

Next year I think.

Groeten,

Bob

The last few years it is like this: first I want Christmas to be there, and then I want Christmas to be over. As for the watches: this is a perfect period to enjoy the ones I have, nothing new really to be expected.

Kind regards,
Paul

Wow sounds exciting, guys, please don't forget to post all the nice pictures of your Christmas gifts ;-) Congratulations to everyone ! Kind regards, Daniel

Update: vintage can be good sometimes...

... And some other, it gives you joy as if you were a child.
