    Dear Forum Members, Aside from the absolute thrill of having purchased my first IWC (have wanted one for many years), a Pilot Chronograph, I am very pleased to see such a pleasant and gracious bunch of enthusiasts on the forum. I think I need to stop staring at the watch now. Would love to post a pic, but can one upload a photo to the forum? Hello to all

    Congratulations!

    and welcome.

    Enjoy your watch in good health -and no doubt- it won't be your first and only IWC. There will follow many :)

    About the photos, you have to use an external server and link directly to the photo. Make sure you preview your message to test if all ok. After correcting something, you need to preview again and then press "Send" for the corrections to be taken into account.

    Cheers

    Agamemnon

    Thanks for all the warm welcomes, will figure out the process and post a pic of my new watch shortly. Now maybe I'll just have to find a vintage model to start the collection.

    Welcome!

    Congratulations with such a nice watch! Enjoy it.

    My procedure for posting photos is as follows:
    1. upload the photo with ftp program to my personal site of my internet provider.
    2. add the link in the field Image URL. Do not forget to type the file name exactly as it is (with capitals and file extension. Copying the link usually works best. (Do not forget the remove one http:// )

    You will find a lot of info on how to post pictures in the archives.

    Regards, Peter
