I won't take up too much time, but I've just crossed the 1,000 post milestone. Not a big deal to some of you, but for me, this is the first time I've crossed 1,000 posts on any forum, anywhere. I love cars, and I love gadgets, and I love watches, and I'm a member of a forum(s) on each of those, but there's just something about this place that's made me stick around. Platinum membership was a no-brainer for me. I have learned a lot over my years here, I've made a number of real, actual, good friends here. I've bought some amazing watches, sold more of them, and built some stuff that I still can't believe. And I've learned more about these watches than I could have ever imagined. I just want to say thank you to the admins, the members and my friends here. I'm looking forward to another 1,000 posts.

I totally agree with you. I've owned the gen 45mm PO, and I always wished it was just A BIT smaller. It's what lead me to get rid of it. Strange, since now all I wear are PAMs, but something about the shape of the PO made me want it at 42mm.

Stunning!

This is interesting. The 45mm PO is one of my favorite watches, I had one for a while until I traded it toward a 111. If this is as good as hyped, I'll definitely pick one of these up.

Great looking strap. Very nice choice.

I think this is a really great looking watch. At some point, I'm going to have to pick one of these up.

Pretty unbelievable. Congratulations on that one.

Really cool. I'd be proud to wear that.

Really cool!

I keep coming back to this post. That watch is stunning. Zig, great work as usual -- you're right to take the credit for a job well done.

If he did anything other than beat the [censored] out of it, I'd be surprised. But it was a labor of love to be sure! Great job!

I can't wait to see that one!

It is really hard to keep up with all of the versions... but I think it's a great looking watch. One of my favorite IWCs.

It's a great looking watch, for sure. I'm glad you get so much enjoyment out of it -- it's what they're for!

It's a nice looking watch, but terrible as a rep. This is one that I question why they even bothered.

Gorgeous. It's already getting a great Patina, and it's going to get better with age. Perfect match to that watch.

Beauty!!

With some of my best modded reps, the little things have continued to annoy me. But I promise you that's because I'm aware of the little flaws more than it being a case of the little flaws being obvious to the casual observer. It's a matter of getting comfortable with "close enough." Frankens, of course, change the game.

Very nice! Enjoy it.

WHOA, mama! This will be a hit with collectors, but most will never wear it.... except to GTGs.

I think it looks really, really good. I've always liked the 87 -- it's one of my favorites. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of one....

Did you move the 111 to get this? If you still have it, do you have any side by sides?

I really like what you've done -- it's really something special.

Absolutely wonderful watch. Pseudo gen for sure.

I think the 07 is a great looking watch, and has some interesting features/innovations. I had an 07 LM-2, and it was a pretty well made watch. Wear it well!
