    Hey everyone! As you all know , I really love the Vintage Collection. I was thinking it would be nice to have some sort of gallery where everyone can post all pictures they want of pieces from this collection. I start off with a few pictures I have already shared with you , just to get in the mood. Everybody ready? GOOOO! :)

    The Vintage Collection series is my favourite too. I have four of them. Here you see pictures taken a few years ago. First, a group shot:

    i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj79/BloemenPA/null_zps129dda21.jpg

    Then, in order of acquisition. First was the steel Portuguese, to me the most beautiful of the set, and bought right away when it was available.

    i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj79/BloemenPA/6a9c356a-cf77-4424-9cde-139cab6ca501_zps1755609f.jpg

    A year later, the rose gold versions appeared, I fell for the Portuguese again. It is my nicest dress watch.

    i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj79/BloemenPA/IMAG0023.jpg

    A few months later, I had to get the Pilot's watch. At the time hardly anybody liked it, but it was and is a king of wrist appearance to me.

    i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj79/BloemenPA/null_zps5d1c45c1.jpg

    In the meantime I had a love affair with the Ingenieur, but there were always other priorities. I already gave up on it when I saw the limited edition with the taupe dial. That deal was done quite quickly.

    i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj79/BloemenPA/null_zpsfc356aed.jpg

    I love them all. To me, this series is the best series ever presented by IWC, because of their restrained beauty, and that super idea to make them because of the 140th aniversary of IWC.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Great collection. Of course I'm partial to the Portuguesers and that RG is just phenomenal. Wonderful.
