Watchmeister Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 Irrespective of whether you buy a slevin the double AR is a must for the VCO.
Chronus Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 Is the delay because of the construction of the bracelet ?No way is it going to be over $350....you're kidding.This should be in the SFSO range, IMO....low 300's.The grabbing hands, grab all they can, everything counts in large amounts.
Kollektor Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 Can't wait to see the wrist shots. Not a huge IWC fan, but I'm getting there...
b16a2 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 I spoke to Angus a while ago about the non-chrono version. Apparently is wasn't being considered because the price of ETA movements would push the price of it up too high.
chrgod Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Any news about non chrono version ? A replica of the non-chrono Aquatimer was out on Silix' page some days ago. Decent quality, two years ago I think we all would have been all over this one.. but today, this is no show stopper.. hxxp://www.watchsilix.com/product.asp?id=1931 It might not be a "Super rep".. White datewheel, wrong crowns, thin hands, badly applied lume.. But way better than any previous attempt I have seen, and with a rotating inner bezel. For 46 Euro it is very cheap. I am waiting for an Aquatimer in the Ingenieur- class..
russ Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 I had one of the 42 mm non chrono's on my wrist. A friend purchased it in NY. I did'nt like the way it fit, I have a small wrist and the rubber strap did not hug the wrist. I wear the 44mm pams, no problem. Now I know this was a cheap Canal street rep but the fit was not right. Has anybody else had this problem with this watch? I would love a 42mm Aquatimer chrono but if the fit is not right, I'm not wasting my $.

I would love a 42mm Aquatimer chrono but if the fit is not right, I'm not wasting my $. I have never tried the gen Aquatimer chrono, but the regular gen Aquatimer on rubber fitted my wrist well. I have however had problems with the similar style rubber straps on the Carrera Racing and 45mm PO. The strap is fixed to the case and does not hug the wrist properly.. The simple Breitling rubber strap sits better.
TomRiddle Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 why you guys still waiting for this? didn't they already say that the project has been postponed *INDEFINITELY* ??? that's the same as saying they scrapped it .. am i missing something?
Chronus Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 nice DM reference. Great song, and very apt

OMWF ... The Cousteau Diver 2007 has been scrapped (essentially) but the basic 42mm Aquatimer Chrono that we've been waiting for all these years has not.

Pugwash Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Posted September 3, 2007 I prepaid, but have not heard any release date news at all. Anybody know or heard anything? How much did you pre-pay? Everything I'm hearing is soon, soon and around $350-$385, which is worrying, but inevitable. I have the cash sitting around ready to go to my dealer.
