It's Here!

First of all, let me confirm two things:

1.- I am lousy at pic taking

2.- Pics do NO JUSTICE at all at this baby; it is a BEAUTIFUL watch, the weight, feel, looks...you have to hold it in your hands to really enjoy it; no pic I have ever seen on the IWC Aquatimer has even been close to what the watch really looks like; so much detail in the dial...I am VERY happy!!!!!

This is my first IWC, and not the last one for shure!!!!! What do you guys think?

Saludos!!!!

Hearty Congratulations, Gerard !!

Let me the first to congratulate you on a superb acquisition, Gerard. Wear it in good health....always. The pics aren't bad at all and I'm sure the watch would look much better in the "flesh" so to speak.

Cheers - JJ

Verrry nice, Gerardo.

Congratulations on a great acuisition. That's one of the best looking black dial chronos I've seen. With the decent size white subdial hands it looks like they will be easy to read.

Wear it well and enjoy.

A very nice Aquauatimer Gerardo.

I regard IWC up there with Rolex.

Is the case titanium?

Nice one

However, I like it better with the yellow, like Darens. Either way, a beauty!

Ah thanks for that. In that case, I prefer the white, cuz I'm not a fan of Ti watches.
