    Me:) And I´m very happy to get my new Aquatimer today.
    In reality it looks very impressive, this first wristshot (iPhone) can´t transfer the unbelievable contrast between red gold and black.

    Kieler - I had a chance to look at this one at the Paris airport recently, it is a stunner. I agree with you, I did not anticipate how good the red gold and black contrast looks, throw in the red details and what you get is raw beauty.

    Congrats - wear it well!!

    Let me think for a second...a diver's watch...chronograph...and in gold. Pretty, but no thanks.

    I thought the same thing. But it sure looked good on my wrist.

    It looks like it fits your wrist perfectly, excellent!

    Congrats on the first IWC scuba diving gold chronograph with in-house movement watch ever produced!

    Gold may not be the proper metal for a tool watch but if you don't use it for working 100 meters below the surface of the sea but just for fun and for the pleasure, then, why not?

    That's right, why not indeed. I do remember the many times, when I was diving in the Caribbean, and kicking myself for not having a gold chronograph to time with accuracy the pace of the local fauna. :-)
    I actually kept hoping for a platinum perpetual calendar, so I could keep track of the date, day of the week, month while diving, just in case I forgot. :-)

    It is a stunning AT that makes an impressive statement on ones wrist. I like it.

    I'd dive with it anytime! After all, gold does not oxidize :~)

    Great looking watch you got there Kieler Jung!

    Best regards

    There's a saying here, I try to translate: "If there's fun, there's no loss".

    An ingenieur without soft iron protection may not encounter your taste nor mine but, as long as there is fun...

    I'm simply saying this watch can stimulate a lot of fun! :)

    If James Bond was to wear a real watch ;-) I am sure it would be this one.

    Congratulations on your new watch. It looks great.

    If I recall, Mr. Bond had poor taste in watches, using a competing brand as brass knuckles. Our friend Kieler Jung has great taste.

    The only "advantage" that Mr. Bond has was having his watch model become a collecible, selling with a huge premium today. ;)

    Great looking watch, certainly with the monochrome dial: congratulations, and enjoy your beauty.

    Is this a tool watch nowadays? No way, the modern tool watch in this case would be a diving computer on your wrist. This IWC is a luxury watch with extra properties. It not only looks like a sporty watch, it performs like one. But it also is a luxury watch for those who love gold. It looks great, as indeed does the rose gold Fifty Fathoms. I wonder, are luxury divers watches the present, and tool watches the past?

    Kind regards,
    Paul
