Re: Back to the Future.. Show me your watches from 1989

I don't know what cheap watch I wore back then, but I did own a DeLorean as a daily driver for a couple years beginning around 1986 or 87.

: I bought my IWC Ultra Sportivo in Basel where I was working in
: 1989. A sleek titatium case, 18ct bezel and.. a moonphase.
: Rubber band with titanium clasp.
: Disappeared from a hotel room a few years later and was succeeded
: by an IWC Pilot Chrono, which I still have.

: When I later researched it I found out that it had an extremely
: short production run due to a lawsuit from Hublot. Apparently
: only a handful of my particular execution were made, and that
: may well be true: I've only seen 1 picture of MY execution in
: many years of idle browsing.

: pics below plucked from the web.
: The PVD moonphase.. with flat white font and moon.
:
:

: The titan/gold base model... image that with golden moon and
: lettering...
:
:

: I really loved it.

: So what were you guys wearing in 1989?
: Jurgen
