IWC was the first Swiss watch brand I ever wanted to own. I love the design, heritage, size and clean design of their pieces, particularly the pilots.

This is the current state of my IWC collection

1 Gen...
2 Super frankens..
everything else is a Franken with at least a gen dial

Have a few more dials to Franken over time

The Ingy and petit prince chrono (bracelet) are Super frankens.

The double chrono in the middle is gen.

All the big pilots and the aquatimer have genuine dials and some other custom mods.

I have 3 big pilot dials, 4 mark dials and a couple of Portuguese dials left.

Very nice collection! Which Big Pilot model is the black one on the top right (never seen a black one that is no Top Gun)?

IW5019-01 Ceramic Top Gun on gen dial, gen strap and modded Ti crown.

Looks different to the Miramar Ceramic Pilot Top Gun that I think you are referring to.

OK thanks. Nice patina. Looks almost like a pvd-case in this kind of light.
You should add a Portugieser or an IWC dress watch in your very nice collection which is very heavy on the Big Pilot side.

Any Portuguese dials for sale?

Fantastic collection and nice box ;-)

Awesome collection! I share the same passion for the IWC brand, the Pilot's, Aquatimer, and Portugieser collections in particular. Oddly enough, I never liked the Ingenieurs.
How do you get gen parts?

Thanks man. The Ingy is underrated IMO. Really clean design and sizs wears nice on 7.75 inch wrist.

I've tried the gen 45mm at ADs - I wish this was well repped.

I think the fact that you were able to franken all of them is a tad bit more impressive than the collection, very nice. No love for the cousteau divers tho?

Jaw dropping collection. I agree you need more gen straps to compliment the gen dials. Your pieces deserve it ;)
they all have gen straps man. except the rubber on the diver and the brown on the 5002 on the left :)
