Logan Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm going to say the middle one.. but only because I've never seen a rep of that.. otherwise it would be pretty tough to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes, that is correct. There has never been a good replica of the previous Aquatimer, so I had to get the gen. When new, in 2006, it was about the same price as a Submariner. On the current seconds hand market, it is about 1500 USD cheaper.. I assume it is partly due to the IWC-movement being based on ETA 2892. Still, I find the modern style of the Aquatimer more interesting then the Sub. I like the two-crown style, the flatter case and the fact that IWC is a less known brand. The Ingenieur on the comparison picture has a well-worn Chieftang AR, while the Mark XVI has a brand new AR-coating by Domi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 The two-crown style is a winner. I would imagine you like the LONGINES "compressor" as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Should not be to difficult.. Is that Green AR on the Mk XVI??? is he using normal optitions AR like on eye glasses? i would be interesting how that holds up over tiime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Is that Green AR on the Mk XVI??? is he using normal optitions AR like on eye glasses? i would be interesting how that holds up over tiime I recon the XVI has a colorless AR. I am a noob when it comes to AR, but this tint of this coating reminds me of the one on the most recent "colorless" Panerais. The reflections seems to be even less. I like it. "The two-crown style is a winner. I would imagine you like the LONGINES "compressor" as well?" Yes, the Longines Compressor is a nice piece, buty I would have missed the date. For IWC, it is the Vintage Aquatimer, which carry on the two-crown style for IWC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
