It is great to see things back in their original form - although I must confess that I am a big fan of the steel bracelet. I will head off to the Caribbean next weekend - "working" but will have one full day of holiday to enjoy the Cancun beach in Mexico - so the rubber strap will be perfect for swimming. I will not be attempting a RAVE shot......sorry to disappoint.... Hope you like the following images illustrating the beautiful aesthetic design of the original Cousteau Divers. I already made a very small scratch at 6 o'clock which is quite empahsised in the photos - but I am not worried about. Its impressive how I can barely see it with the naked eye though.....

But the shades of blue are so rich in tone - I am impressed.

Collectors Meeting gifts from IWC - absolutely very generous as ever - I am not sure what the blue Aquatimer "bag" is for - perhaps for a swimmming costume ?
