    Gentleman! Great to be back on the forum :) I have finally managed to get some pictures processed to share with you. I have been busy with school and exams...the regular student struggles I would say. I took me some time but here they are!

    I decided to focus on the watches. The real photographer here is of course, without any doubt, our friend Bill. Bill was so kind to send me some usefull tips & tricks about (watch)photography in the past and honestly I believe that my pictures improved since then. Bill, thanks again! :)

    So let's start with the über cool museum pieces!

    This first picture is a pilot watch from 1936.

    The original B-Uhr as pictured below :)

    Let's get little more modern now

    So that was it for the pictures this time. Of course I am extremely happy that I could be part of such an amazing experience. Like mentioned in my Facebook update that some of you might have seen, I have made really great memories with the amazing people behind the forum names. It was a super super super (yeah you could multiply that another couple of hundreds times) experience.

    Thanks to you all and thanks to IWC!

    Koen, as we have come to expect of you, great pictures well presented.

    You have come a long way in a short period of time (under the watchful eye of Bill) and I for one, look forward to many many more great pictures over the years to come!

    Thanks for sharing.

    A great set of pictures, Koen, thank you! One cannot get enough of these watches, they have natural beauty: one cannot stop admiring them. If you have more pictures of them: let them come!

    Thinking about these new watches, both the heritage watches and the Timezoner stand out of the crowd we are used to until now. I start to like the heritage watches more and more, a bit big though. Thinking about the Timezoner versus the previous Worldtimer, both look special, but the Worldtimer suits my use of it a bit more: seeing the time in the different timezones in one view is a pre. Do you have some more pictures of these watches?

    By the way, from the point of view of shape, the Big Pilot and the 36 mm look ideal to me, the Mark XVIII coming close third. Sigh...

    Kind regards,
    Paul
