7 times a day and 7 days a week, I log-in ....
... to this forum and obsessively check for new posts and information. Call it the IWC Internet Compulsive Dis`order`. This has spelled trouble for me at times, such as when I honestly tell my wife that I need to work in the evening while she puts the kids to bed. Needless to say, she often finds me browsing this forum --- I just have to check! -- instead of dutifully working away.

I'm in 7th Heaven because
of the friendships I have found among the Collectors Forum members. Being a part of this community is important to me. I am known in my township as the IWC ambassador and my AD actually calls me to tap into my limited, but growing, knowledge about the models. I am entering my 67th year in 2008 and I envision the IWC Forum and IWC collecting to be a significant part of my life. My first IWC, a 500101, was purchased in August, 2006 and when the Vintage Portofino is delivered soon, I will have accumulated 10 IWC's in 20 months.
Thanks Michael for making this a great place to hang out and learn and to IWC for including me in one visit to SIHH, one Collector's forum Meeting in Schaffhausen and three other separate factory tours. And, most importantly for the friends I have met.

Not the cost of seven years..
but the value that I have recieved is what has always kept me logging in. I have the value of being 1 of 100 people to own a CFI I have the value of all of the IWC knowledge that is at my disposal right here on this forum. I have something else that I share with my 3 sons that gives us a glimpse of pasing it on towards the future and their sons. I have the value of inetracting with wonderful poeple throughout the world and sharing our passion for IWC. I get to enjoy my soon to be 5 IWC watches (one for every year I've been logging in) I have the benefit of being involved with a company that values me as a customer, me as a community and the heritage they have built

The forum brought me definitely more than 7 days of fun and the IWC watches more than 7 years of pleasure when wearing them !
During the 7 years of this forum I added more than 7 IWCs to my collection and all can be related to the number 7. The ref. 3227/05 (also known as CFI) for instance has the number 7 in it and if you take the remaining numbers 3x2x2-5 you get 7 again...
Looking forward to 7 more year here at the forum, Stefan

7 years ago I had a very bad New Year’s Eve. I was knocked down and taken to the hospital It took me several weeks to recover and I still today I have some problems with my left eye. The following year I received a check from my insurance company. I decided to spend most of the money on my first “real” watch. My hunt for a watch lead me to a Portuguese Chrono – and opened my eye to the wonders of watches. I don’t have the Portuguese anymore but it will not be my last IWC…
