Beautiful watches but can't say it was a highlight of my life - thank goodness. The platinum aquatimer comes n at AUD49500 and apparently the boxedset of 6 is 350,000 Australian DOllars. FIrst 140 or 150 are to be sold as boxed sets. Limited to 500 individual pieces. Aparently they have secured 8 AUstralian Orders already. The white face on the vintage aquatimes does not look anywhere near as nice as the black - and apparently they will not offer it in the black as the platinum one are to all have white faces. Pity really. The IWC man visited Brisbane AUstralia on monday 23 JUne – I got to see the platinum 2008 IWC collection. Beautiful watches but can’t say it was a highlight of my life – thank goodness.

For example what is the current MSRP on a stainless aquatimer? The Swiss Watch company where I bought mine from had AUD6700 on it and they let it go for 5100 but who knows what is real in the artificial rag tag scally wag sales world? The vintage look is so clean and inspiring. Well done IWC - now go fully back to inhouse movements! Hardy Bros in Brisbane say AUD50,000 How flexible would one think this price?

From the photos I've seen though, the platinum version looks drop dead gorgeous! Hmm, well perhaps I just need to see the black in person then.

And at first we, Team Ace, all said the silvered dial will be nicer than the black, but after seein both in real life, 75% of the team voted for the black!!! And this has nothing to do with prices.

Unfortunately, I like the MSRP on the stainless version much better than the platinum! Love the new Portofino Hand-Wound, but really prefer the white dial to the black.
