Greg and Jay, I just swapped a mint IIIf BDST for a IWC Portuguese watch in stainless steel. Was that a good deal? ;-) Jerry Greg Lorenzo wrote: > Hi Jayanand, > > I've pretty much stayed with IWC over the years. Most interesting to me today are the vintage Pilot watches and Ingenieur's with the 1963 version (8521 movement) being my favorite. I don't really like IWC's current line of large watches although they sell really well (to others). > > The Lange 1 is really something else though. Finished to Patek standards with an unique look that is really timeless. The Lange is to dress watches what the IWC Mark 11 is to pilot's watches. > > I don't see prices coming down on these, although they may be more affordable in the US if the dollar continues to improve against the Euro. > > R _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
