IWC

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

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 compared to a Rolex, for example.  Not that I don't enjoy Rolexes too!

Excellent watch and pictures!

Daos

I like the monkey too!

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...

To make a watch that honors Jacques Cousteau.

That watch looks like it's in great shape!

I wear it very often in summer, and no hairlines, nothing.

A nice IWC, the last nice one, for me.

Maybe post it in the JLC forum! ;-)

Blasphemy!

Thanks for sharing the pics Jed!  Has it ever been in for service?

The watch has not been in for service since purchased new a few years ago.

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

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!

Superb pictures as usual

Watchtime and Revolution can build the "IWC Ration" or "IWCR" for short, into their review criteria!

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, I don't swim often - it probably wouldn't like that too much).

I like your Aquatimer and love your monkey. Perhaps one fine day we could bring together the Aqua and the Flieger and their protectors: the monkey and the lion (remember? The one I scared you with the other day)..

Thanks for sharing your nice thoughts!

Nikolaj

Here's hoping the watches and animals do meet one day!

Best,

Jed
