Here we go ladies and gents..... What is this? Looks like a boring white outer box. :dummy: Inside, we have another box, something else to take up drawers space. It is a nice material and snaps very tightly shut. Open up that box and there she is. : : My new IWC Aquatimer Chrono in Ti, with an extra OEM rubber strap. First impressions are very good. This watch is so much lighter than the others I own. I used the included tool and quickly took out one link and it fits perfect. The bracelet is super comfortable and very solid feeling. Some people have complained that the bracelet at the lugs is not very flexible, this could be a problem if the fit is just not perfect, but for me it is. I am not a bezel user, so I actually really like the internal bezel, the pusher at the 4 operates it. It rotates only counter clockwise and is a neat toy to play with. I like the darker Ti finish, something very different from my current watches and totally new to me. I have heard that Ti scratches pretty easy, so I will report back on that after awhile. It is 42mm so it is right between my Rolex and Panerai. Here are a few more pics that I took quickly, I really like this watch and I think it fits in with the YM and 88 perfectly.

Thanks guys!! I enjoy sharing with my friends, that is part of what makes this hobby so fun. Jim, it is actually really small next to the Panerai, I get my 88 back Tuesday from a spa treatment and will post some side by sides. Clifton, I am more just a fan of watches, not a particular brand. In fact I am very happy right now that I have three distinct watches from 3 different brands. And c'mon, me? I would never try to infect anyone. Thanks again guys!!
