    Probus Scafusia...

    I have always admired IWC no nonsense engineering. The pre-richemont models are very understated IMHO ....


    I am really proud to call this watch my own. I have been long waiting to buy this watch but never found the perfect opportunity. Then I found this NOS unworn example that was bought new from IWC AD end 2011! It has never been sized or worn and I took off the caseback sticker myself. I am sure this watch will be with me for a very long time ....

    The cal 37524, based on the ETA2892 (itself based on suggestions from IWC technical director at that time) is no slouch. It keeps time to +3 seconds/day (never opened or serviced) and winds like butter.....

















    Even our one eyed cat loves it...she was found as a few days old kitten injured in the street ...she's a real sweetheart...





    Our shih tzu managed to get it off her paws in the end though ...




    I hope you like it ....
    Cheers from Malta, Etienne

    aah, the GST lineup of divers, classic pieces. I had the G and the T, never picked up a S. Lovely divers with that wacky system for adjusting the bracelet, and some cool velcro straps as well. Shoulda kept them, photo from the web.

    Yes, I do miss them. An iconic model IMO.
    Would love to have the 01 or 02 again, tough to pick one before the other.
    And I think I liked them best on the rubber.

    I dive with rubber.

    But if you want Velcro, try rockin Ron here on the forum. Great guy, great prices, quality merchandise.

    The boutique in BH was very helpful, just need the serial number for the watch, and the service center in TX sent them right out.
