I was just admiring some IWCs at the AD here... Although there were no GST chronos, there were some Aquatimer chronos there and they did have an AR coat.

Thanks for the comments guys
I have really loved the 91 for the past year, it is a beautiful watch. I've been wanting to get into something that is a bit less dressy over the last few months, so I've tentavely chosen the 089 (yes, I love anthracite
)On the other extreme, I may buy a more historic model... so many choices
One of the criteria is that the watch hasn't been repped yet, so that narrows the choices down, but just a bit
Anyway, when it's all done, there'll be a flurry of wrist shots.

Well the second photo is surely a Big Pilot... first one's hard to tell.

When I read the subject I thought you were announcing that your new best friends were Elton John and George Michael, D. ummm, no

... with the old:
IN with the new:
I'll miss my 091, but I think this is a great progression along similar path

Oooh... That is wicked!!
Which one of our own did it come from?
One day I will get one, when I tire of Panerai
-
Excellent collection, these are some of the best!! Wear them well!

I'd say oxidized/anodized, or some type of coating process like that, but definately not PVD. I doubt they paint buckles, that would be horrible LOL

Go for a Mini--my girl loves hers--engineered by BMW, but faster, more reliable (from personal experience) and hold their resale value betteer.
Love those!!
I tried to get her into a mini, but she wants something that's a bit more practical and comfortable

I guess I'm a bit lost with you saying 'This Site". Are we talking about the dealers here, or the Admin? I'm not sure that "This Site" sells watches. If possible, be a bit more specific or did you intend to LINK?
This is a very long and ongoing saga carried over from the previous RWG forum John... If you have time to waste, I'm sure a search will bring you to the font of info about this project.

I liked the first post on this watch, but with the display caseback, I admit it is very tempting...
Display caseback and metal band make this a great deal
Mine has been sold already, so this is probably the only one available in the world at the moment. If you're looking to get this watch, this is the time as it will be more expensive anywhere else.

> How Much Do You Spend On A Strap?!
LOL, that's a scary question. My limit has been $230 so far, I can't see it going higher than that. There are lot's of good straps out there in the $80-130 range.
Europelli has been my most purchased brand, the quality is great and Drew is an excellent guy!
For custom straps, Aaron HKTan is the way to go for me so far.
Just ordered a Metta from Rob and he has been very communicative and thorough throughout our dealings
Good luck with your purchase!

Where are all the car enthusiasts when you need 'em
-
This one went about a month ago, it is a lovely watch, just not quite for me...
You can usually get them for $800-900
Have a look on the Big Watch Forum also, they have them on from time to time, but they are pretty rare and out of production. There may be a waiting list being offered on the RXW site.

Just watched this video (1hr 22min)... Interesting conflicts about information given.
What do you guys think about this?

My dear swdivad
Is not the 318 a bit of a poseur in the sports sedan market? I believe the 320 was created to address several shortcomings of the 318.
As a bit of advice, unless the fair half of your equation is a sports driving enthusiast, might I recommend something more in keeping with what SHE desires?
While masculine and chiseled, the BMW 3 series do not appeal to all members of the fair sex. As well, bear in mind that BMWs tend to be driven hard. Are you prepared to rescue your lass when she experiences mechanical failure on some distant kerb?
I know several women ("ladies" is too far a stretch) who prefer the lines of a Porsche over the chiseled lines of a BMW any day. Have you thought beyond the propeller insignia?
Thanks Miss Understood for your insight
BMW is her preference after choosing over Mercedes, Audi, and Peugot
The 318ti was actually her first choice and what we were looking for; She likes it because it's small, economical, and relates BMW with quality German engineering.
While we were at the lot, she saw the 320i and really liked it... The 318ti is a little more practical for her being smaller/easier to park, more fuel efficient, and a little cheaper. Being newer with fewer Ks was also a big plus.
On the other hand, the 320i was more practical because it has 4 doors and probably will be worth a little more as well in 3-5 years when moving to something else. It is also not as sporty and more elegant than the ti
She likes both, but buying both is not an option at the moment

Great post K
Now I wanna go disassemble a watch, just to do it!!!
Hope to see more... maybe some sql_pl style watch tutorials

Hey all... I am looking to purchase a second hand car for my wife and have narrowed the choice down between two cars:
BMW 318ti (2003, 20,000 kilometers)
BMW 320i (2002, 60,000 kilometers)
The prices are pretty much on par to Australian prices (high compared to the rest of the world maybe, but no matter)
Both cars are 5 speed auto transmission and in excellent condition as far as I can tell.
I am trying to find out from anyone in the know about the quality of the two choices, pluses/minuses of each model, any inherent problems etc.
In the end, I will have the final choice mechanically inspected, but ask your opinions so I can make an informed decision.
Which would you choose (or would you choose another make/model)?
Thanx
-
Well, you have choices...
Omega SMP Pro chrono
IWC GST
IWC Ingenieur
Tag Link chrono...
Davidsen PVD Panerais...
The list goes on.
So many nice reps, so few wrists!!

Sinn 756 or Damasko :-)
Gen Iwc Gst -- Does It Have Ar Coating?
in General Discussion
Posted
Yes, forgot to mention that as well... The surface reflection was very subdued, almost blurred or hazy. I don't know if this is because of AR coat on the outside, or the sapphire had a special texture to it.
It was very pleasing to the eye
