My second Mk XII

Foolishly, I sold my last Mk XII a little while ago. I've missed it ever since. So, when I had the chance yesterday, I snapped up this one:

I bought it, used of course, from a chap in Bedfordshire who flies for BA. Appropriate, I thought.

The lume has aged beautifully:

It's certainly not been left in the safe:

All in all, I'm delighted to have an IWC back in the collection. Now I think it's time to go hunting for a Mk XV to keep it company...

Delightful and totally classic Flieger. Personally, I just have trouble with the strong glare.

Enjoy!

Isobars.

Thank you - although I suspect that glare is down to my rather poor (ok, non-existant) photographic skills.

By the way, does anyone have a link to a series of serial numbers? I'd be fascinated to know when mine dates from.

Bill, many thanks indeed. That's just what I was after. Looks like mine's a 1996 watch.

Many congratulations of getting a worthy member back in your collection.
