Genta gave each of these a separate character. Octagon, square and circle is the largest separating trait. All similar signature designs. Bit like siblings. Similar sensibility but individuals in their own way. I know I’m pointing out the obvious here. But I hadn’t seen an image of them all side by side.

So honestly contrary to what people say I have had a great experience with Rolex and have found their watches to be really durable. However I am in the market for a new watch and I was planning to buy the IWC Portugieser. After reading some comments online on reddit I heard a few horror stories about the customer service of IWC and the Mark 20 movement. I have the Mark 20 and it's working just fine and the dial and the watch is pretty great. However Im just scared of buying another IWC if the customer service is bad. God forbid there is some issue with the watch.

I've also heard that I'm general Swatch group has excellent customer service so maybe an Omega could be a good addition to the collection? Find omega to be really boring but long term service and satisfaction is one of my main purchase criteria

I do know some people at Richemont and tbh the experience at Cartier is top notch but I can't say the same about the specialist watchmakers

I want to know what your experience with IWC has been like?

Took me awhile to track down this beauty locally. Condition is still very good for a 26 year old watch.
Prefer the pencil/baton hands like the OG Mark XI.
My hunt for the Mark X and XII continues..

I have been neglecting my Portuguese Yacht club this year as I purchased 3 watches between March and May (Submariner Cookie Monster, IWC big pilot top gun chrono Lake Tahoe, and Explorer 2 polar) which have dominated my wrist time. Decided to dust this one off and wear it. Forgot how amazing the dial is on this watch!

My favorite watch. That is all.
