Having known and interacted with Kevin personally over the last 4 years, it's terrible news for me and my wife indeed. My last communication with him was a 'thank you' when he wished me 'Happy Birthday' over whatsapp in early Feb this year. I don't know what else to say.

RIP Kevin, you will be remembered for being one of the great blue brothers and for being a great friend and confidante.

Skule,

Big congrats. I am sure you are loving every moment with this titanium beauty. Along with your titanium/carbon bikes, you are well placed for the top award for the most stylish biker in your next competition.

Your grail will be there and I am sure you will get it in no time. Congrats again.

Fantastic report Bill and I must add the rest of the guys who chipped in with their photos of this wonderful gtg. I am sure you guys had a blast. I too, hope that we will have one gtg pretty soon in April in Singapore.

Great catching up Roman and Vishal! It was coincidental that Vishal flew in to town the same day. I guess we shouldn't have left it to the eleventh hour for a GTG next time. But nevertheless it was great fun even though short.

Thang, this report brought back some memories. It was only 1.5 months ago that I was at White Hart Lane with my wife, at the stands braving the cold, snowy night. It was indeed an experience of a lifetime...

and what a watch...it does match the colour of your favourite team!

Indeed a very positive move. Kudos to you for the great effort! Thank you.

It's fake!

Hi,
I would suggest you drop it off at an AD or IWC boutique. Since 5001 is an in-house movement, it is better to be serviced by IWC. I don't think it will cost a fortune. Have a great week ahead.

I guess I enjoy the photos of the fellow forummers as much as the pics of watches. Thanks Kevin.

Pauline, great sketches! You can consider a second career in drawing if you get sick of lecturing some day..LOL

Beautiful photos Thang. I especially like the one where the pilots are lined up. Very very impressive!

Oh well Vishal, I am very happy for you. Your passion for IWC is no lesser than anyone of us on the forum. Just look at the number of VC ingenieurs you have in your collection! Great photos and you have truly captured the spirit of the collectors forum in those photos.

See you next month!

Waimar,
It was great meeting you and I thought it was nice we could spend some time together below the hotel having that discussion about IWC watches. Hope to see you in the near future and keep in touch.

The latest 'hand in the pocket wrist shot'. Well done!

Congratulations Kevin. Stunning piece!

Happy new year Felix! Thanks for the wishes and I would like to wish all forum members a happy and prosperous new year ahead as well!

Thank you Clemens, and happy new year!

Norberts, all I can say is that you brought the best in all these gems of yours. Every piece was captured with precision and at the angle where they looked best when shot at. Congratulations on your fine work.
