First Time IWC Owner, Few Fix/Update Questions, Plus Extra Watch
Hi everyone first of all I just would like to introduce myself to the forum as this is my first post. My name is Mike I'm from PA and always wore a hand me down quartz Tag from my dad, until recently! Last week a friend of mine decided he needed to dump some watches from his vast collection. I was fortunate to pick up two watches from him both IWC. One is the port chrono & the other is the 7 day reserve port. The downfall is both are white face, blue hands, & blue strap, which I'm not crazy about but the deal was too good to pass up.

Hello WTF, My name is Kyle and I am 24, and have been stalking these forums for a few months now. I got a new job working for amazon as kind of an inbetweener until I find out what I really want to do and found that there are hardly any clocks, therefore giving me an excuse to buy a watch. I have always had a thing for watches, yet I never really wear them because they seem to bother me most of the time (hair pulls, uncomfortable etc). I have had two citizen watches and a chase durer in the past but they are out of commission at the moment. So this gave me the perfect excuse to buy a new watch.Of couse being me I couldn't just take the easy route out and buy something cheap even though it risks being banged around at my job. I bought a brand new Tissot t-touch II (not expert) in titanium with a rubber strap online. I know this is like child's play compared to some of the watches found on this forum right now like the rolex daytona's and Ap ROO grand prix that I will probably drool
