    Congratulations Tonny. It's a lovely and significant watch that has a wonderful history and provenance to remind us of our good friends Kevin and Giovanni. I'm so glad you retained This BP LPP.

    Blue watches have become more prevelant in my collection over the last couple of years. Aided by the addition of 2 very special ones as well.

    Firstly VC Ingenieur Lareus which came from Kevin

    Aquatimer Cousteau Diver originally Kevin's, then Gio's.
    [i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w680/regnimelf3717/IWC/FFC13EF7-38EB-4AC1-892B-05714E5E096D_zpsrj7yfr6m.jpg](s1335.photobucket.com/user/regnimelf3717/media/IWC/FFC13EF7-38EB-4AC1-892B-05714E5E096D_zpsrj7yfr6m.jpg.html)

    I feel honoured to care for them now and keep their memories within our group.

    Tonny, congrats on the new addition. It's a special and terrific IWC. Enjoy it as I know you will.

    My one and only blue IWC:

    It's not easy to catch to special IWC blue dials in photographs as most of us can attest.

    i95.photobucket.com/albums/l156/wbarker75/IWC%20Laureus/DSC_4940_zps19aa2537.jpg

    Can I ask what model number of this blue dial?
    Thank you!

    whoa some really beautiful blues out there.

    here's another of mine, my favoured beach / pool-side choice...

    At last I can join in on one of these threads.. Tada!

    And you're all right, capturing the blue is tough.

    Had a silver AT for a short while, knowing all the while that it was the Cousteau variant that I really wanted. Couldn't be happier now that it's here – it's the perfect blue for me – a versatile, denim-colored indigo in flat light, but it comes alive in direct sunlight. ...And looking back at all the comments, am I the first 3290 Cousteau owner here to check in?
