Moondustesp 136 Posted September 30, 2016 Great watches you have especially with the crystals and straps. Stunning to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach25 0 Posted October 3, 2016 Stunning collection... very well done. I particularly like the 5454 on the Santoni strap. Very classy. And yes, I agree the brown strap on the 5007 works very well. I'm guessing that like me, you spend almost as much on the straps as the watch, if not more! I have had a couple Santoni straps made, but must say, Jacob did a fantastic job on yours. Do you have a custom strap on your rose gold Nautilus and if so, from where? Same questions for your Royal Oaks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmann_97 9 Posted October 16, 2016 About a year ago, when I first saw the IWC 5001 being released I jumped into the wonderful world of IWC. I knew nothing about the brand up until then and when I saw that watch (I think from the YL factory?) I was instantly hooked. I waited a bit and then ZF released their first shot. I right away bought two different variants. Over the past year I have tried almost the whole IWC lineup from chronos to portofinos and sold off most of them because they just didn't resonate with me. I was left with just four pieces and they are the most amazing pieces. All of them have Steve's crystals, 3 have straps from Jacob and 1 has a Santoni. I can't decide if I like the black straps or brown straps better so I just switch them off now and then. At the moment, these IWC's are my favorite watches from all my reps and they get worn the most. Enjoy the photos! Group shot! 5007 black dial (love the black strap but also love the contrast of the brown strap!) 5007 white dial gold markers (can't decide which color strap I like better) Both together! 5454 black dial on Santoni (absolutely LOVE this one and the slim profile makes this my favorite dress watch ever!) 3777 on a new Jacob strap (perfectly imitated the Santoni look and feel) Quick peek at the rest of the collection That is a hell of a collection, love the 5454 .... it is indeed very thin...haven't seen any of these....

Nhrob 0 Posted January 15, 2017 Very nice watches... great post. Was wondering if you can say more about the v2 Black dial Pilot Chrono, where you purchased it, and why? Been looking at TS and TT to buy and still poking around and trying to learn more. It's a 7750, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The astromaster 0 Posted July 12, 2017 Amazing collection. So when will you be buying the Ingenieur? You already have the Genta designs(+ Joeg Hysek) why not finish it up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim_j 0 Posted July 18, 2017 really nice! I cant wait to get my hands on another IWC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NF1965 30 Posted December 20, 2017 Lovely collection. The Santoni would definitely go on the 5007 white dial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved the Big Pilot on the photos but when I actually wore it it looked a bit too big for my taste. I detest too big watches. If the Big Pilot came in a 42-43mm case then I would be all over it! I had a 3777 on an Orloff strap, sold it, and bought a Big Pilot on a Jacob beautiful strap. Now it is one of my favourites.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_datta 0 Posted January 8, 2018 DAAAAAMN! Hell of an IWC collection. I just have the Mark XVIII and thinking of letting it go because it just doesnt fit my wrist right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would place Jacobs before Orloff but both those strapmakers do awesome job for our reps i think (and for watch in general :)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you mind telling me the specs of the straps to order for the 5007 from Jacob? I am getting my 5007 this week and want to order a strap as well. TY for the help.
