    I'm so fortunate to be invited by IWC to attend SIHH as their guest this year. Going a bit early to have some vacation first, but so looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting noe ones next week-and of course the novelties!!
    So I'll pull a little Amdrew tease - I'm wearing two IWC's, one on each wrist (actually got questioned about this by at one of the airport checkpoints, and the the guy called me "greedy"!).... So the challenge is, what is on my wrists?

    I think the same as Shing pilots of course, more precisely - vintage pilots.
    BTW "Greedy" - did the airport had a look inside your baggage ;-)?

    Good flight and happy landings on your way East.

    Looking forward to next week.

    Nelson -

    I'm sure you're going to wear your olive green Zegg & Cerlati Special Edition Big Pilot (1 of 20) since you know that I've been trying to get that watch!

    I'm guessing that your other watch will be the USA Boutique blue dial Big Pilot.

    Am I getting warm?

    Nelson -

    The other watch is the orange dial Big Pilot - Special Edition for Sincere - 1 of 100.

    If not, I'm hoping that K.S. Low from Singapore will wear his because I've never seen one before.

    Nothing better than meeting Nelson at the BA lounge in Heathrow, with my Goose and Orange for breakfast.

    Hi Nelson,
    Can't decide about your left wrist, but studying your right : I guess a Cal 89 Mk 11 ?
    Have a safe trip and a wonderful meeting in Geneva and please say hello to our friends there.
    Kind regards,
    Adrian.

    They come from the East...they come from the West, they come from the Middle (of the Ocean), and slowly they all gravitate towards the Centre of World!!!

    Well at least for a few short days next week we IWC fans can claim (together with Richemont) that Geneve will be the Centre of our Universe.

    And I can confirm that like Nelson and Larry, other IWC SIHH attendees have today met up. Small CTG's, friends among friends - and guaranteed there was watch talk and watch viewing!

    Safe travels guys, and nice to see you and Larry together there Nelson!

    Best regards
    Mark

    Looks like the beautiful Mark XVI Limited edition tribute to Japan (steel) or the elegant Mark XII Asian edition (platinum). I go for the latter !

    And they come from the North - I have been so fortunate as to be extended an invitation to attend SIHH, I am so exited I can hardly wait for next week!!!

    I have never been to any watch show before so of course I am stoked, but I am really looking forward to meeting a number of my new forum friends as well:-)
    After a couple of days of business in Hamburg I will arrive Geneva on Wednesday filled with anticipation and awe I'm sure - this will be a fantastic week!!!
