Chronus Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Has anyone retained their IWC Aquatimer 2000m rep? It was going around during April, but didn't seem to get very popular. Paul is now selling at $179, but is it any good, especially the white dial model. Here is the link to Paul's page: http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...roducts_id=1068 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrooz Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I quite like that watch, it's nice and I came quite close once to getting it. I actually went to my local IWC AD to see if they had any further information about it but alas they had never heard of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Has anyone retained their IWC Aquatimer 2000m rep? It's on my list and I hope to get one off Precious Time soon. Once I do, I'll be reviewing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Sorry,...yes, I did request a deletion.... Recalling now, the watch I purchased had a horrible face, not only in texture, but every one I saw, even in photos had terribly misaligned markers, especially at the so important 12 O:Clock position. Bezel was bad as well, the paint was very cheap looking and spotty. Case and band weren't bad however. Still, not worth more than $120... If it were improved, {which I does not look like it was}... would not be too bad a piece, but still not close to par with the Gst or Ingen...imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Which dial colour did you get ? I prefer the look of the white dial, but it seemed like the black dial one was good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Which dial colour did you get ? I prefer the look of the white dial, but it seemed like the black dial one was good? I selected the white face as well,.. the patina on the dial was very cheap looking. If however you came across a gen dial and it would fit,....on second thought... the bezel would also require a repaint,... I think that Paul is trying to clear out old inventory that did not sell well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Silix have the same one for around $175 I don't think this was a big seller though. Everyone was waiting for the next version or (in my case) the titanium version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I had a white dial version and would have liked it a lot. But the 12:00 markers were not even or even parallel and the stem was too long so it would not screw down. I didn't mind the bezel paint (would have been an easy fix) and from what I understand the white dial gen was actually more of a silver/white than the plain white of the rep. If I could get a black dial with good markers at a decent price I might buy one as I really like dive watches. It's a shame the quality was not as good as my new Ingenieur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
