For a long time I think about having 2 identical or in this case same model is ridiculous. However when it comes to this watch: IWC Aquatimer 812AD. My logic just fell apart. So far and yet so close. 1 with the applied logo and black date window while the...
Pairs are fun and with those watches, you got twice the pleasure. Here is my humble pair: I know that this, for the non-WIS, seems to be crazy but there are many advantages. The main one is that, when you switch watches, no one will know that you did. Con...
If I were you I would keep both if I could. Worst case scenario and assuming it cannot be sent to sweden, you can send one of them to Paris. We will know what to do with it. Best regards, George
There are enough differences to make it very reasonable to have both in the collection. And the sum (in this case the pair) is greater than the individual watches precisely because or the subtle differences. Really lovely pair. Enjoy. Andrew
...if you see any flaws or functional problems now, then they will only become more obvious over time. Give someone else a chance to own such a beautiful and historic watch and look for a different rarity. Of course, if you can't determine which is the le...
The no logo is my personal choice as well but the logo also have its charm with the black date wheel making more iconic in the historical context. I guess I will try to year them both extensively for a period of time. It will be interesting to see what ha...

One of my favorite watches of all time -- the gorgeous 812. You have to keep them both! Maybe you need a current Vintage Aquatimer to complete the set. You are a lucky, lucky boy! Cheers, Daos
It is the main reason I gone for the original. The tribute is just too darn huge! I love the design, the dial, movement, everything until when I put it on. Poof! It's too thick and huge. Too out of balance. I was a sad man that day. Even my wife pity IWC ...
...few things are as good as the original! I see you are also torturing us with pix of your 666 along with the 812. An embarrassment of riches! Enjoy your beauties! Cheers, Daos
If you need THE money sell the least desirable .... If you really NEED money sell them both ... Now.... If you don't need money at all keep em both ... If you don't need the money send the least desirable to my adress ( i'll pay transport) as you can be s...
