Pugwash Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Over on TRC, Angus informed us that the IWC Aquatimer Chrono is not being repped. The Cousteau is being made, but it's the only one. Looks like a new one for the RT Polls. No-o-o-o Damnit. I was looking forward to these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Someday..... I wonder if they are going to put an actual piece of teak wood or any wood in the back of the Cousteau rep or if will be a printed image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usil Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Pugwash: Isn't this the watch? (poor picture from a member I bought it from but have not seen yet) Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uziuzi Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Is this a rep ?? Looks quite good. I think you need to find out who sells these...sooo many people are eagerly waiting for this baby ! The pushers look strange (they should be titanium) and the datewheel is black on the gen.

Pugwash Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Isn't this the watch? (poor picture from a member I bought it from but have not seen yet) Yes, only with a black dial, 7750 and proper date wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Tracy Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Pugwash: Isn't this the watch? (poor picture from a member I bought it from but have not seen yet) Usil So has this watch be repped or not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 i haven't been paying much attention to the polls, but i thought one of the rules was that the watch could have never been repped before... if that's not one of the rules, i would have guessed there would be more mainstream watches in the watch polls... Yes, only with a black dial, 7750 and proper date wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 So has this watch be repped or not ? It looks like the one on the right has been poorly repped. The one on the left hasn't. That's the one I was after - the one on the right just comes as a freebie if you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one I was after - the one on the right just comes as a freebie if you do it. I agree, it looks rather poor this rep, yet still it would be nice to find out where it comes from. Maybe the source is already working on an upgraded version ? The source may also have an interest in improving this piece given the strong poll result (we will hopefully have).... GO VOTE IWC Lovers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I got a new camera waiting for me in the US and I will take a decent picture of this as soon as possible so you guys can get a clear view of it. I hope it is not too bad a rep. I wll let you know. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario33 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm actually okay with this since I prefer the Cousteau version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvt Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Acording to Angus the Costeau version will in fact have genuine wood on the back. He says it is not difficult to replicate that. Considering it is just a think peice of veneer which can easily be cut out on a CNC machine I think he is correct. My biggest worry with the wood would be using epoxy strong enough to make it stay in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
