Slevin or Cousteau

[maxlawbr]

I know this topic was discussed several times.

But I'm about to pull the triger in a new IWC. I like both a lot, but I'm able to buy just one this time.

If you suggest a Cousteau, which model?

Could you, experts, point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Max

I like the pusher on the Cousteau better myself- two great choices though!

Tough choice indeed.
Slevin for me as the rubber strap is a no go.

Moreover the Cousteau is a bit bigger than the Slevin which despite the 42mm diameter wears large imho.
If the Cousteau had a ss a bracelet I'd probably say Cousteau

I've had them in the past and find them too small if your used to Pams. Just a heads up.

The Slevin is one of the nicest reped watches I have owned. Awesome replica.

Thanks guys.

Keep going the sugestions

This is the Cousteau I like the most

The Cousteau is just a Slevin with a larger ring around the rotating bezel where you find the hours number. I went for the Slevin as I found the Cousteau a bit too much, I like when thing are simple. The pic of the Slevin TB posted is a split second which is in Ti and yellow colored bezel, I don't think it has never been rep.
I love my Slevin for just being black and white.
I'm opposed to pippo as I do not like bracelet.

I like Cousteau and this model:

Bear in mind that the gens are made of Ti but the reps of SS (better for scratches !!)

ALE

I'd go for the slevin, it's just a touch more subtle than the Cousteau IMHO.

 

[maxlawbr]

I think Cousteau is nice, but which one? The white or
Orange?

 

[ThinkBachs]

White.

No, Orange.




Wait....


White.


Orange....

 

[maxlawbr]

hehehehehehehe, I'm in the same boat.

 

[lofi]

slevin is definately on my radar. i need a 3717 first...

 

[maxlawbr]

They are both great.

I have a 3717, awesome rep OTB.

Does anyone remember a review of Cousteau Aquatimer?

Cousteau 2006 all the way!

I thought they dont make the Slevin anymore?

Anyone know where I can get a Slevin (black and white) on SS bracelet?

 

[watchcollector]

Yeah. I asked few dealers and they all said the Slevin is out of stocks everywhere and that the factories don't produce it anymore...
Any idea if this watch is back on stock anywhere?
