z3k0 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 This looks like SS to me : what do you guys think ? It would be such a shame if they can't make this one in Ti regards
PAMman Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 It seems that Ti reps are history now. I'm certainly holding onto my Ti GST and chrono Avenger.
k2222 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 markers should be painted on a dial, beside it is not ti
Dani Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 why is it SS lol the rep makers are crazy bunch.
Francisco Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) This information is from IWC web page. Weights of the YELLOW Aquatimer: - Weight: Aquatimer Chrono-Automatic in stainless steel with stainless steel bracelet: 180 g Aquatimer Chrono-Automatic in stainless steel with rubber strap: 122 g Aquatimer Chrono-Automatic in titanium with titanium bracelet: 131 g Aquatimer Chrono-Automatic in titanium with rubber strap: 99 g Therefore, there is a steel version, so no problem here.

Yeah but good luck finding a ss version with the yellow markers or vice versa ........
Francisco Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Yeah but good luck finding a ss version with the yellow markers or vice versa ........ what do you mean? Are they not selling the SS yellow version? In the web page this combination is showed. Edited January 19, 2008 by Francisco
maxmilian Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 what do you mean? Are they not selling the SS yellow version? In the web page this combination is showed. No it is not, they show the ss (in white) nd the Ti (in yellow) on the same page
SAS Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 True, i've never seen a SS bracelet with yellow markers? Only the Slevin comes with Bracelet. But I still prefer the yellow ... even if it's a fantasy version...
Francisco Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Yes, no SS yellow version. I was wrong because the information on the web page is not clear. However, Joshua told me some weeks ago that this yellow version will be ready with SS and coated with a layer of titanium, in February.
SAS Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Titanium coated !! Doesn't mean anything, Titanium isn't platinium as far as I know. prefer fantasy SS rather than TI coated
Dani Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Yes, no SS yellow version. I was wrong because the information on the web page is not clear. However, Joshua told me some weeks ago that this yellow version will be ready with SS and coated with a layer of titanium, in February. Info on IWC site is clear and correct you just need to understand the info given to you their.. Cheers

However, Joshua told me some weeks ago that this yellow version will be ready with SS and coated with a layer of titanium, in February. Well, I've just asked Josh' and he answered me : "The maker does not want to make this watch in Ti" So I'm gonna have to buy the SS version, cause I've been waiting for this one for a long time.
SAS Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Info on IWC site is clear and correct you just need to understand the info given to you their.. Cheers So tell us what have you red on IWC web site. In your opinion does this model exist or not ??
Dani Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 So tell us what have you red on IWC web site. In your opinion does this model exist or not ?? Yellow version come only in TI.
Francisco Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Well, I've just asked Josh' and he answered me : "The maker does not want to make this watch in Ti" So I'm gonna have to buy the SS version, cause I've been waiting for this one for a long time. What a shame. So our role is to check whether the brushed SS is close to Titanium. We know that the weight is going to be different, but perhaps the appareance not. is possible to withdraw any conclusions from the pictures? Next week I am going to visit an AD. I will try to help.
magagne Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Yes, no SS yellow version. I was wrong because the information on the web page is not clear. However, Joshua told me some weeks ago that this yellow version will be ready with SS and coated with a layer of titanium, in February. a layer of titanium...will be the first time I hear that. I'll stay away from this anyway...
Francisco Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 These are the best pictures of the gen that I have found. I hope they help to make a comparison brushed SS vs. titanium.

They will have to make new dial also, Ti and SS versions have different hour markers (like @k2222 already pointed out). I wouldn't be surprised if the "maker" decides that this dial is "good enough" for both versions regards
