Very nice indeed - any know the likely RRP? Particularly of the black jobbie?

Strange how the Aquatimer has gone back to an internal bezel (like the 3538-series) once more. Do these models replace the 3568-series ?

If that replaces the existing chrono then you're looking at circa £5k

According to the IWC website, the new range of Aquatimers completely replaces the old range.
I have not seen any price details but £5K or thereabouts seems likely.
I have a Galapagos Aquatimer and do not wear it that much due to the case thickness. The new models are even thicker - the Rose Gold Perpetual one ise 19mm.
IWC need to sort this out as it restricts the wearability of what are attractive watches. 19mm must be like wearing a block of flats on your wrist!

Slightly off topic, but i just missed out on a Galapagos on eBay earlier this week. Went for £2550 which I think is no money for a mint and boxed example. I watched it for a week and forgot to bid!

Never fancied one before but it just looked 'right'. oh well

I take your point though Chris56 about the wearability.

Vvroom.

Blimey, that's huge
You'd need some serious sleeves or cuffs for that to slip under
I wear my IWC most days and the depth is about the limit of what I'd wear

Well they are better than the last version but other than that....MEH!
