I like them. Not cheap for a generic movement (although it is modified to a high standard by IWC), and some of the IWC purists hate the styling of the new version, but I'd be very happy to have one. |

IWC do indeed modify the standard ETA quite significantly - possibly more than Breitling, although no-one's ever seemed to be able to get a definitive answer from Breitling as to what exactly they modify. This is a good article about what IWC do to their ETA's - http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/Series/IWCG ... ments.html The new Aquatimer is more of a "usual-looking" diver's watch with the external uni-directional bezel, whereas the older Aquatimer had the more funky (and preferred by IWC enthusiasts) internal rotating divers bezel. Both are nice designs though. |

I like the new aquatimers. Good size (44mm). The 2000 is only 14mm in height which is nice - not too chunky. Weight is about 147g on rubber (not official). I would consider one but my local AD gives no discount on these so price is a factor. Lume shots look very nice also. Good luck. |

I think its pretty nice. I was always put off by the integrated strap on the old aquatimers. I was offered one in a pretty good trade a while back but I just couldnt get over it (but that internal bezel sure looked good). |

Interesting, thanks for the insight. I'm not in the market, but can feel myself getting the bug you all warned me about. |

Geat watches. |
