    Hi All,

    I'm considering a new Aquatimer Galapagos, but I'm having a hard time finding anyone who has actually bought one. I know the previous Galapagos (which I used to own) seemed to do quite well, but I'm not so sure IWC is seeing much success with the new Galapagos line.

    I'm looking for some owner opinions on this piece. I'm considering either the La Cumbre Volcano, or the traditional Galapagos (still undecided). Would love to see some owner photos/opinions from the group!

    Thanks all!!

    Well, since no one here has one yet, I guess it's only fair that I be first!

    Arrived from my AD today and I couldn't be happier. I had the previous Galapagos and this is certainly a step up in many ways. If anyone has any questions on this one, feel free to let me know! Happy to answer any questions..

    Only one person can be the first, someone has to do it!

    Congratulations on your new acquisition.
    Wear it in good health. I'm sure you're going to have fun with!
    I really like the black case and dial with the white hands.

    Since I have my aquatimer it gets the most wrist time. The
    watch is very comfortable to wear.
    The movement is also very accurate, just like my Spitfire is runs +3 to +5 fast a day.

    Can you also post some pictures from the caseback?
