This Yacht Club came to me recently, which I couldn´t pass up on, considering it was offered complete, with box, all papers and in an extaordinarily good condition, even it´s first strap, with IWC buckel was there! All I need now is a steel bracelet to go with it ;-)

Hi Jimmy, Excellent find. The vintage Yacht Club, one of my favorites, with "midnite" blue, and all the trimmings to boot. Congratulations. You have been on roll at the end of the year. :-)

Hi Jimmy, congratulations! :-) You have already told me the very reasonable price you paid but you forgot to mention that you the watch comes with all the papers including the recet from the jeweller in Southern Germany. FYU my midnight blue YCI has a steel bracelet, Box etc. but I paid after the spa in SH the new charge for the papers (Extract from the Ledger) ..... 250€! ;-)

BTW Antonio, Jimmy is always on the roll, at least since the years I know him. :-)

Very nice Jimmy. Mine arrived yesterday and whilst it doesn't have the paperwork and provenance of yours, I thought I would share anyway.
This is my third cal 8541 watch - I fear I am becoming addicted (as I think others have been!)
This one has the oyster bracelet (Ref 10) but I am fortunate and have a Ref 13 bracelet as well which I feel may also fit (not sure it was an offered option though on the 1811's though ...?)
All I need now is a steel bracelet to go with it ;-)
Regards
Jimmy
