I just picked up an IWC Aquatimer 2000 (44mm) and am really loving it...
The lume is really good and the bezel is in sapphire....

Really cool and different!!!

I thought I'd share a quick pic with you all.

Very nice! I've been thinking of that same model for a daily diver design. How does it wear size-wise? I haven't been able to see one in person at an AD so haven't tried it on. Have 7" wrist, what do you think?

Thanks, Terry.

Terry...
It really has a great fit. My wrist is ~7.5 and is very comfortable for me!

And remember its "only" 44mm, not too big and heavy and doesn't tire the wrist....

Now to get the IWC rubber to go with it :cheer:

Great watch. Good size and the bracelet quick-change system is pretty cool. I like the sapphire bezel too. :thumbsup:

Such a great looking watch. That bezel is fantastic. I've heard the lume is really good on these... even on the bezel!

Congrats!

Hey Spartan, how are you finding the bracelet? Does it feel substantial enough to balance the watch head? I've tried one of these on rubber, and it was great, but I haven't checked out the bracelet.

Otto, I think its very comfortable, never noticed anything out of the ordinary; feels pretty balanced to me :D
Also, the watch head is not very heavy, compared to a SA, for example. :wink:

The only problem I have is that I can only wear one watch at a time and my PAM 209 is getting 100% of the wrist time 8)
