Nice watch. Best wishes on your enjoyment of the Aquatimer.
That being said, lets look at this thing a little closer.
I agree with the assessment of the Ti. Its light and feels like plastic. I am familiar with the Seamaster Ti you tried out
because you stole it from me. Thats OK, I never liked it and wish you would have kept it. The Black 300 is another story.
That was the third one I've owned and can't seem to hold on to a black one to save my life. I'm looking for another.
Giving it to your Son-in-Law is almost a crime. Tell him to buy his own.
The IWC Aquatimer is a nice watch Dave. Too bad its got a junker ETA movement unlike the Dweller which is "in house".
Its a shame to sideline the Dweller. She has served you well and runs like a top even after boiling, freezing and that
dishwasher debacle. Treat a reliable watch like that and then put her out to pasture is just an abomination. Where is the
humanity? The Aquatimer is a nice watch, it ain't no Dweller. The bracelet looks nice and robust, I wonder if it rattles
like the Rolex? Oh yeah, has it got solid endlinks? Please tell me it does...................
Those pics are just OK. Point and shoot, I take it? Well, if you can afford a watch of that caliber, I suggest buying one
of the new "D" series Nikon cameras. I even know a super guy near Atlanta that can help you out with operating it.
Good instruction means you won't even have to read the owners manual. I'd get the 105mm lens also. You'd be a expert
in no time.
On another note Dave, thats a fine looking watch that I'm anxious to see. I put on the Ti Seamaster and immediately hated it.
Light and plastic feeling with a greasy feeling to it with almost no heft. As you stated earlier, I believe I could wear it if it had
some weight to it. Its a nice looking metal just something most aren't used to, including me.
Good luck with that thing and I look forward to seeing it on my next trip to your place.
And those are pretty sporty pics too. My best on a fine looking IWC.
