Great pick up, Justin. :superman: I think you made the right choice with dial color. When it comes to aquatimers I like the non chrono wayyy better than the chrono version too. Congratulations and nothing but luck with it.

very nice watch...sadly was just too big for my 6.75" wrist (i had black, would imagine white wearing bigger). iwc old-schoolers don't like the new aquatimer flashiness, looks great imo.

bracelet msrp for $1600 :roll:

Congrats Justin...Very nice!

I actually almost pulled the trigger on the black/yellow dial about a year ago. I couldn't find one to try locally, then I was visiting parents in Florida and the local AD there had one on the rubber strap. Tried it on and it fit really nice, the 14mm thickness with the way the rubber fit was a nice surprise (was expecting it to be too big). I held off since not much discount and at the time I had just picked up my PAM 005 so wanted to replenish the funds.

I really like the bold, clean dial and classy bezel - bet it has great lume too :) .

Enjoy. You still have time before X-mas to find another, ha! :lol:

I couldn't believe that when I heard it. I'l pick that up, but I'm no hurry. I think it wears a little on the larger size of 44mm. The 14mm thickness is perfect. I wish they offered a deployant buckle, but the tang has still been comfortable. I'm going to try and get a lume shot sometime with all 3. I love the different color lume that the IWC has. If anyone is thinking about this piece, I would highly recommend it.

Justin congratulations on the purchase man! :santa:

I tried the black/yellow color combo on the bracelet a few weeks back and the watch is nothing short of spectacular...I like the size, its very comfy and looks great.

Wear it in good health!

Alex

I love it, in my opinion, it's the perfect size and it wears very nice on the rubber strap. It's be a very good alternative to my Breitling and Rolex.

Great pick up, Justin. I've tried it on with both the strap and the bracelet, and I thought it sat beautifully on the wrist with the rubber strap.

I like it!

The two tone bezel makes that dial real stand out.

Congrats on the new piece!

That is one sick looking diver!!!!

Making me think long and hard about adding an IWC when the time comes to expand beyond Breitling.

The case looks very similar to a SOH. Would you say it fits similar?
