    Some one is selling a IWC Titanium Aquatimer automatic IW3718-18 limited edition 001/1953 serial number 3204284 and I am interested in it, but I can not find any reference about this watch any where on the internet, This watch is in yellow and black color and has a fourth hand that can indicate a second time zone also it has no date, I check online all the Aquatimer has a date indicator so is there such a watch of this model IW3718-18? and if there is this watch, what year was it produced, can any expert help me out here. Thank you very much.

    The Ref 3718 is a Spitfire Double Chrono, so it can´t be a Titanium Aquatimer. There was a limited edition Aqautimer wirh a limitation of 1953 pieces, but this is the Ref. 3548-06, The Cousteau version, but this is made of steel, not titanium. Her are two pictures of this:

    Do you have any pictures of watch which you are asking about?

    Err, I don't know how to say this without hurting feelings. You're showing a fake. Sorry to say that...

    Onefive15,

    Sorry, but I do hope you haven't purchased this "watch".

    I would suggest perusing some of the helpful "How to spot a fake IWC" guides by using the search function on this forum.

    That's a strange one all right. It never ceases to amaze me how many of these bizarre variations are created and passed off as real.
