Your Cousteau...

 

is titanium? With a metal bracelet or with a rubber strap?

In case of the latter, it did come with a regular tang buckle?

My deployant takes a 18mm wide strap so if you have a rubber strap on your
watch with a width of 18mm measured at the tang then you can easily exchange
the tang for the deployant. IWA 16620 is the order number for the 18mm wide
deployant made to look-like Ti.

If your watch is on a metal bracelet then you have to find a rubber strap
that fits between the "lugs" of your Aquatimer (I think they must exist). My
rubber strap measures 15mm between the lugs and has a total width of 25mm
(measurements approx.).

If your watch is SS then, additional to finding a rubber strap that fits,
you have to order a SS deployant; iirc IWC has (at least) two models
available and, again iirc, one (partly) polished and the other (partly)
brushed.

Let me know if I can help.

Is any one familiar with a Lange that is water resistant??

I know that Lange does not make any sports watches, but do they have one that can stand up to the occasional submersion?

it probably makes sense since I would ruin the leather bands if they got wet.

I was hoping to put a water resistant band on one, so I could wash up and not worry! Maybe it is time for me to grow up and start treating my watches properly! Thanks for your courteous reply....  

You are welcome ...

The IWC has always been a favorite of mine! I admire the modification to the deployent clasp. A few years ago, I purchased one of the cousteau divers editions and suffered from what I would call, "enhanced self image". What I mean from this is that when I...

My wrists can just barely(sp) "hold" the big Aquatimer, but I use the watch during the holidays at the beach and when mowing the lawn etc. so I am not bothered by its size so much. I must add that since I have it on a deployant I enjoy wearing the watch m... 

it is stainless steel and has a blue face with orange markers...

Because it is steel, it weighs a ton! It feels good on the wrist, but I always fear banging it into things.The angle of the strap helps it fit the wrist nicely. Sometimes, I even have trouble getting my shirt sleeve over it. The deployent clasp would be n... 

I did a search ...

on both the TimeZone IWC forum as well as on the official IWC.ch collectors forum and found that a SS IWC deployant clasp taking 18mm wide straps has IWA number IWA05337. "Robert L." on TimeZone (aka "GST 3536" on the IWC.ch forum) ordered this IWA05337 d...
