    Love to get my hands on the 1812 someday... or the vintage re-release...

    ...however the flying pigs overhead will have to land before that happens.

    great little compilation!

    The 1812 is indeed a great watch and there are 4 dial versions - unfortunately too expensive now but I wished I had collected all 4 years ago. Too late now

    Wonderful collection! I'd love to own any of them - especially the 1812.

    I agree. Absolutely superb and I would be more than happy with any single one of them.

    Very nice - I like titanium and IWC are one of the few still offering nice ti watches outside of Japan.

    1812 & Ocean for me. All excellent pieces... Is the 1812 a Super Compressor case?

    Yes, it is a super compressor case
    And if I may ask, what could one expect to pay for a 1812 today?

    Every now and then I come across people that I really hate :wink:

    At least you've not got a 3536, that would just be too much

    Great collection

    ... top right actually is a 3536 (the rare steel/white dial model, IWC 3536-003)

    he's got a 3536-003.

    the IWC titanium divers are among my favorite watches of all time. it's a huge pity that IWC dropped titanium from the aquatimer and ingenieur line.

    great-lookin' Bund and Deep One.

    Re: Divers of Distinction from IWC

    do a google search for "Ocean 2000".

    you'll find a number of great articles about the various Bund models along with info about the civilian version...required reading if you count yourself a fan.

    Very nice 8)

    That Gold GST Aquatimer, the Ocean BUND 2000 and the Jacques Cousteau would all supliment my fledgling IWC collection very nicely.

    Depending on where you buy it (private/retail) you shouldn't expect a lot of change out of £7k (if not £8k) for a good one
