    Here are some I just took with my IPhone 4S. No edit, only resized in Photobucket. All pictures were taken in my backyard in the garden state (New Jersey) and one in the car.

    Okay, my first contribution, taken with my iPhone this morning when out running on the beach at my home turf; Aarhus, Denmark.

    i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/Tonedoev/IWC%20Portuguese%20Yacht%20Club/7fc6ab5c.jpg

    Next up; tennis wearing my Ceramic Flieger - the 3786.

    Some very modern dial colors on my Yacht Club Chrono;

    To proof that no photo-editing has taken place I also enclose a photo of the place where the photos were taken; Olafur Eliassons 'Your Rainbow Panorama', www.aros.dk/samlingen/your-rainbow-panorama/
    Interesting how the blue color spectrum makes red turn into black.

    As a confirmed and practicing mobile phone Luddite, I don't have a cell phone. I'll watch with interest the entries.

    I am Bill's "co-Luddite" and have a cell phone without a camera feature. It's a great contest and I look forward to the pics!

    Tracy - what a great idea and what a generous gesture! I will indeed try to submit 10 pictures and here are a few to begin with:

    Two BIG watches in one shot (iPhone 3GS):
    i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Skule/The%20Cavalry%20and%20Guards%20Club%20%20London/Picture398.jpg

    Just one big one, but I love the "life" in the reflection on the dial (iPhone 3GS):
    i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Skule/The%20Cavalry%20and%20Guards%20Club%20%20London/Picture397.jpg

    And my PPC in beautiful light from the window in my Kuala Lumpur hotel room (iPhone 3GS):
    i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Skule/CEESI%20Conference%20Kuala%20Lumpur%202012/Picture.jpg

    I will try to take some better shots with the missus iPhone 4G later :-)

    I'm in my back garden in the Netherlands where the apple trees kick of the new season.

    I'm wearing my first IWC. It's a small Portofino that I bought in 1995 while I was in University.

    I find myself wearing my old watches more and more. This one is special. I bought it from money I earned from small jobs at the University and it was my only IWC for 4 years. ... then it all changed:)

    I must say it has a quit rare black dial. Seen only one before..gallery.mac.com/bonthond/100081/IMG_2174/web.jpg?ver=13334649430001

    Well... not a photo of acceptable quality, but here it goes...

    What would be the quickest way to get more than one IWC without breaking the bank?

    Answer: put your IWC in front of some mirrors!

    im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2da22b3127cceff92d1f72b2e00000030O00EZOGjhqxYtAe3nw8/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D720/ry%3D480/

    (Tracy, just for the record, I have the book as well, so please count me out. I'll continue to post some photos if I manage to get any acceptable ones taken in the next couple of weeks).

    SoCalJD,

    Could it be that your son was in the FAO SCHWARTZ toy store and he was so excited that he didn't see you sneek out and quickly run over to the AD T------(non-commercial) a few doors down to drool over some IWC's?

    Or perhaps the parking lot shot was taken on the way home ( South on Bristol ) a couple of blocks in front of another AD's ?

    Just Thinking,

    Andy

    BTW...Very nice AT2000's. I have the white dial, but am thinking of also getting the black/yellow.

    Great watch and great car! I too have a soft-spot for Audi with carbon fiber trim, not to mention with any IWC! Hopefully my next IWC would contain some carbon fiber...
