Sometimes a watch finds you. I was not aware of this model, but was offered it at a fantastic price. The seller pics were not great, and the back looked scratched up. I did some research and found that this case is titanium with the DLC coating. I had a Girard Perregaux with that coating, and it was super durable. I looked at the photos again and decided the scratches were really dried up sunscreen. The Master Compressor Navy Seals Diving GMT Chronograph arrived yesterday. A toothpick and wet towel cleaned it right up. I had this sailcloth in my bag of straps, which solves my concern about the OEM strap not being suitable for water immersion. I have a rafting/camping trip coming up, and this seems like a suitable companion.

Congrats!
I have loved this watch since new. I hope you enjoy it just as much or more...👍 ...
Thanks for your help IWC!
One question, why do you sometimes wear on the left and sometimes on the right wrist? I noticed looking at your pics of this watch.
LOL! I was wondering when someone is going to ask...
I have exclusively worn all watches on my right wrist but sometimes I wear them on the left for picture taking.
Fantastic watch and two afternoon laughs,
one c/o the sunscreen, the other c/o the left-hand, right-hand issue (I hadn't noticed). Thanks guys! Cheers Marc
Congratulations to your watch finding you;)
I liked this model for a long time, hope one day I get to see it in the metal and try it on. Quick question, does it have hacking seconds? Best, Zsolt.
Yes.
It is caliber 757. It has hacking seconds as well as two mainspring barrels for a power reserve of 65 hours. The chrono is controlled through a column wheel driving a vertical clutch. The GMT is the “caller” type, and the date is quickset. Position 2 of t...
I handled it the same day I bought my PO…
It was a tough choice on paper. IRL the PO wore a little better and the bezel on the JLC was sixty clicks…otherwise very close…
À really cool one with sea and air part of design
Love it a lot… even if it’s for a budeweiser wrist…
Awesome is the right word
for this watch. Always a personal temptation, but I couldn’t pull it off due to size. Congratulations, wear it in good health!
