IWC in the lights.
Recently, Daos and I discussed watches we wear without fear -- watches that can take daily use with little/no signs of rugged use, and watches that draw little/no attention. The IWC Aquatimer 2000 is just such a watch. It shakes off water like a pro, its titanium finish is tough as nails, and it's not particularly known to the general public. Mine gains only 2-3 seconds a day, making it a trusty timekeeper as well. Lastly, and maybe most important for a daily wearer, the watch and bracelet are truly comfortable.
Can you tell I like it? 
Best,
Jed

Cool pictures!
I like that monkey figurine too! It's super-fancy! I really enjoy the version of the Aquatimer that you have. It's got this great confident presence on the wrist, but it is not showy. I also like that it doesn't draw as much notice from non-WIS as compare...
Agree, Jed!
A superb companion! I own mine for almost 5 years, now, without fear, but with a lot of pride! nop fear, and strangely, no dings... Best, Nicolas...
How fitting for IWC...
To make a watch that honors Jacques Cousteau. That watch looks like it's in great shape!
Undestructible, Patrick
I wear it very often in summer, and no hairlines, nothing. A nice IWC, the last nice one, for me. Best, Nicolas
Great daily beater watch!
Thanks for sharing the pics Jed! Has it ever been in for service? -MW
No sir, DRMW.
The watch has not been in for service since purchased new a few years ago. Best, Jed
Your pictures are always interesting Jed.
The titanium adds such a cool finish to the surface. Great watch. I know Anthony always felt comfortable wearing his. Nice whimsical touch with the monkey
Thanks Ping!
I wish I could take credit for the inclusion of the monkey, but he simply jumped in the picture right before the click! Bad monkey! Best, Jed
Yes the IWC
brand with biggest quality over little attention drawn ratio IMO at least among non purist population ;0) Superb pictures as usual Cheers Damian
Maybe the
IWC ratio :0) and than accordingly to value 1 for IWC all others can have 0.XY IWC value :0)) Sincerely Damian
I like that!
Watchtime and Revolution can build the "IWC Ration" or "IWCR" for short, into their review criteria! Best, Jed
I feel exactly the same way...
about my IWC Flieger Chrono. I have had it for 11 years now and have loved every minute. I have both strap and bracelet, but always wear it with the super comfortable bracelet. I use it without much consideration and have never faced problems (admittedly,...
How could I forget the Lion?!
Here's hoping the watches and animals do meet one day! Best, Jed
