Icon14 My latest IWC....

I have always admired IWC no nonsense engineering. The pre-richemont models are very understated IMHO

I am really proud to call this watch my own. I have been long waiting to buy this watch but never found the perfect opportunity. Then I found this NOS unworn example that was bought new from IWC AD end 2011! It has never been sized or worn and I took off the caseback sticker myself. I am sure this watch will be with me for a very long time ....











Even our one eyed cat loves it ...she was found as a few days old kitten injured in the street...



Our shih tzu managed to get it off her paws in the end though ...

Very nice, I haven't seen that model before. What is the bezel made of? The bracelet looks a bit like the PP Nautilus one.

Congrats on a lovely watch! I have always loved this Aquatimer in the titanium version myself.

Thanks guys !

Bezel is St.Steel as well.

I also really love the Ti version and I still could not pick a winner between the Ti and SS. I love both equally ...

Beautiful IWC 3536. I have had every version of the 3536 more than once. Which do you guys like best?

^^ SS black dial for sure. It took me years to find the right example and I wouldn't trade it for any other dive watch.
