    If this would be your IWC Collection.

    What would be your next step?

    1)A flagship: BP 5004
    2)The novelty: Ingenieur Mission Earth / Adventure Ecology
    3)Another tough sporty watch: Ingenieur Automatic AMG, Ti.
    4)A simple but essential: Mark XV, I can’t believe I still do not have this watch.

    Kind regards,
    M

    Shrinking the scope

    Hi Mateo!

    As we have about the same taste, I'll go for the ING Ti. At this very moment, I have a Spitfire chrono with black dial (ref 3706), a Portuguese 5001-07 and an ING Ti 3227. And i'm looking for an AT2000 Ti!!!

    Regards,
    Jean

    I would go for....

    ....Ingenieur Mission Earth, it comes with the 80110 movement.

    Reasons:

    1. You don't have a Ingenieur watch
    2. You will get a new type of movement in your collection

    Your other options have some overlaps with your existing collection. Like overlap in movement, watch series, material....etc

    But, it is always very personal.

    Mateo.
    Is the Spitfire chrono with ardoise dial? or is it only visual impression and matter of reflected light ?
    Congrats for the collection .
    BP is surely an iconic watch , but I would go for a Mk.-XVI.
    In any case the choice depend on and reflects user personality , hence follow your intuition.

    I think you need an Ingy...

    and I vote with Felix...the Mission Earth would be a nice addition to your collection! You have an excellent collection, Mateo!

    Best regards,
    Jim

    Mateo, the only watch I am thinking

    all the time after I bought my Port 5001 is the BP.
    For a reason I believe they complete each other.
    Bad thing I am not always getting what I am thinking. LOL

    Nice collection indeed >

    It's a tough choice. The BP is certainly a great watch but I am a huge fan of the Ingenieur too.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens
