Nice watch, but more of a daytime than evening piece. Brown leather after sunset is a bit of a faux pas.

Good Lord!

Got this for my 21st birthday in the mid 90's. Still goes and only had battery changed twice!

Fascinating inverted design. Do you find it hard to read?

 

[brutus76]

Not at all

It doesn't surprise me that it's still going - Lorus are made by Seiko.

In Melbourne for weekend, been looking at an Aquis for a while. Tried one on and got a price in one store told them I'd be back tomorrow to purchase went for a walk off Burke street mall saw a shop that said 15% off storewide was lucky enough that they had the Aquis and they were 40.5% off got the last two one with grey dial and blue bezel for my brothers 40th and the black dial for myself. So lucky and happy with the purchase.

How much?

How much?

$1368, they do have other Aquis just not this one with just the date they have the bigger 46mm ones with the sub dials and a range of the 65 divers

Bought a few fake Daniel Wellingtons when recently in SE Asia.

Anyone been able to get them to actually last?

My humble collection as it currently stands.

For most people $10000 worth of watches would not be considered very humble....

Humble compared to what you can pay I guess, people have different priorities, I don't buy a packet of cigarettes for $30 every day for example. There would be several thousand there but not 10!

Just added this IWC Pilot to my very small watch collection. It's simple but I really liked the simplicity in its design. Not a fan of all the complications of other watches. I have my Apple Watch as a daily driver, and it has enough stuff on it.

Originally thought your Speedie was the Professional so yes maybe $10000 a touch high ..nice collection though.
Like you, most of my favourite watches also have a black dial.

For me, IWC make the best watches based on design

My favourite is the yacht club which can be worn casual or in formal settings.

Nice, very nice.

I tried this beast on yesterday and it might be a love affair I have to consummate:

the contrast of the blue face and brown leather looks great

It looks nice but I find the face far too large.

Oh, it's enormous

-ly awesome.

I tried it on again AND my wife says "buy it!" and I still haven't. But... you know it's going to happen eventually.

Nice, very nice.

Do it. Have sex with the watch.

How much do you really love your wife? Because I really love that watch.

Decided I'll get myself a graduation present in the form of a watch at the end of the year. At the moment the Oris Artelier Complication is leading the charge as it's a good all rounder. Undecided about the blue or rose-gold design.
