When I was 13 years old my father gave me his swiss-made, mechanical watch. Since then, I ve been facinated by the durability, design and quality of a mechanical watch. Most of all they never outdated. Then as a young working man,I was able to purchase watches of many different brands. Today I ve decided to narrow my collection to one brand, IWC.

Are you obsessed with hoarding? Whether it be old magazines, vinyl records or antique china. Is your home overflowing with stuff making it impossible to spot the carpet?

I recently divorced and wanted to get rid of my old gold wedding band. I took it to a gold and coin buyer and found this watch there. I loved it but had no idea what it was or where it was made. I just thought it was really beautiful in its detailing. So I traded my old band for this watch. Anyone have more information on it. From some early scanning of this site I believe it was released in Vienna in the 20's??? I haven't seen any other of the IWC watches just like it. Wondering how much it is worth. I hope it was a good trade.

A couple of years ago my son became interested in mechanical watches. He lusted after a Omega Planet Ocean. I bought him one along with a Seamaster 300m gmt.
I've always liked gadgets and had a mechanical watch as a teen in the 60's. In researching the Omega purchase, I started reading websites voraciously.
My next significant purchase was a Seiko Springdrive Ananta.
Last week I got what's become my 'Grail Watch', the 3717 Pilot Chrono.
I have to admit was attracted to Portofinos as well, but I really like the traditional (not Spitfire) chrono.

I first became fascinated with mechanical watches when my father gave me his old Bulova (I was 10 years-old; about 100 years ago!). Since then I have owned scores of watches, and not one has been quartz or digital. Even during the "Quartz Crisis" I wore mechanical Rolexes and Omegas.
My friends really don't believe me when I tell them that every watch I've ever worn -- for the last 50 years -- has been mechanical. But it is true, my hand to God.

The day I discovered time doesn't tick (like Quartz) but runs smooth when your doing well! That's why Mechanical watches are the only way to "Display" our most precious and magical thing in life: TIME!

So i'm hooked on good automatic brands. I've had 3 IWC Aquatimer, and have a Aquatimer 3568 incoming.
I have also owned: 3 Panarai Submersible - 2 Rolex Submariner - and a lot of other divers.
Currently I own a Omega Planet Ocean and a Breitling Seawolf Steel.
