Two quick questions from a forum new starter

Hello I am new to the forum and recently purchased a 7 day Portuguese IW500107, albeit this timepiece needed to be returned to Schaffhausen and the UK retailer issued a replacement. Took the shine off the experience a little, but HQ kindly provided a complimentary travel case. Nice gesture, but still a tiny bit sore as I had the watch less than 2 weeks !

Two quick questions

(I) I recently saw an IWC known as a Fanta. Who can tell me more and how do I track one down ? It may have been an aqua timer with rubber strap.
(II) I am interested in some merchandise (such as key ring etc) as the Kowloon Boutique kindly provided details of more up Market merchandise, which is beyond me.

for the "Fanta Aquatimer", are u referring to this one ?

THOUGHTS ON THE ORANGE AQUATIMER 2000?

on IWC accessories, HK Flagship in Kowloon Hong Kong (Heritage 1881) has accessories for sale. There have been previous posts, but not exhaustively listing them. The easiest way to find out more is to email them at btq-heritage@iwc.hk

ACCESSORIES & MEMENTOS (DIVING ANYONE?)
ACCESSORIES & MEMENTOS ...
FANCY A RIDE ?
GONE SAILING, PLS LEAVE MSG. BRB.
A LITTLE STRAPPED ...

Things such as key rings and cuff links - to my limited knowledge - are not available as of now (they were before, and have been sold out, and production discontinued). If you do get lucky with any of them, do let me know !

Hope this helps.

Dear Mark,
Welcome to IWC. Sometime teething problems to happen, but trust me, you will love the IWC on your hand.
Wear it in good health.
Also, trust Shing, he's got a wealth of knowledge with him, and sound advice.
Very helpful as well.
MK

Dear Mark

A warm welcome to the IWC collectors forum family.

What a great start to begin with a Portuguese 500107. Sorry to hear about the early disappointment but glad to hear that it has been quickly resolved.
I had a similar experience with a new VC Ingenieur (classic black dial) - a movement issue that was easily resolved since the issue was well known to IWC.

The new Fanta Aqautimer is a forum icon - so you have great taste.
For IWC merchandise - send me an email and I can see if I can help you.

Many thanks Shing, MK and Andrew for your individual welcomes and support.

Regards

Mark
