chrgod Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Seems like the old IWC Aquatimer is available again. It is just relisted on Puretime website. This is one of the good older replicas, pre-2005 I guess. I asume the bezel on the rep is still not the "press to turn" as the gen, but I can live with that. Odd datefont.. It looks almost like they finally replicated the Ingenieur-datefont, but put it in an Aquatimer... http://www.puretime.co/product/iwc-2012-02-23-02/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_B Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Is that on purpose that the bezel looks like it was found on the bottom of the ocean? The bezel looks pretty oxidized. Also, this wouldn't be a watch for me. My friends would keep telling me that this is a bad copy of a rolex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superlative Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) The hour markings are incorrect. That's the first thing I noticed. Edited August 27, 2012 by superlative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 A nice rep? If it's indeed the same rep as from '05 (with the odd rainbow hue bezel), then it is crap. I have it. And it looks to be the same watch from '05. The crystal is cheapo mineral and the bezel is just silly looking with its bizarre discoloration. The bracelet is decent as mentioned above. The watch is much smaller than OEM. I bought a genuine IWC rubber strap and it does not fit (genuine strap is larger than this poorly executed much smaller approximation).
