[WTS] Porsche Designs // Eterna Titanium Diver Ref. 6501.10
Amazing diver with brilliant design details. A rugged yet light, sleek yet utilitarian tool watch. The successor to the beloved IWC Ocean 2000, with a few design tweaks but the same exceptional quality. A few details make this piece sing. It wears much, much lighter than its presence on your wrist. The titanium is a big part of that. Also, the bracelet is engineered to retain an oval shape. So when you’re wearing it, it feels lifted off your wrist, not slouchy. Way less fatiguing. Then the case and bracelet work together to make the watch feel sleek for its size. It’s a lugless design, the bracelet smoothly flows into the case, and the deployant clasp looks the same as the rest of the bracelet. The case also tapers as it approaches your wrist, creating even more of a visual lightness, plus it gives you much more room to bend your wrist without contacting the case. The case and crystal are beautifully integrated. The top of the crystal is slightly curved, but is smoothly inset into the case. You can trace your finger from bezel to bezel and it’s all at one level. Super cool! The bezel is also really satisfying. It’s machined with these insets / grooves that make it very easy to grip, and it has an amazing chunky but smooth clicking as it rotates. The screw-down crown is sizable enough to grip, undo and wind. And yet, it doesn’t dig into your hand. The date shifts with a very subtle click that gets me every time. Read below for About Me. I'm new here, have never sold any of my watches, and I get that may be a concern. I'm an open book - if you're seriously interested, I'd be glad to get on the phone. **Model:** Porsche Designs // Eterna, ref 6501.10 from the 1990’s. Eterna has some \*legendary\* watches and a serious pedigree. They actually made ETA movements before selling the business to the Swatch Group. The movement in this watch is a ETA cal. 2824-2. Case size is 41.5mm wide without crown, 13 mm tall. **Condition:** Excellent. Bracelet has desk swirlies. Case, crystal, and dial seem pristine to me. There’s one spot on the bezel around the 40 second mark that has a small gouge. **Includes:** Two extra links for the bracelet, plus outer box, although the box is in pretty rough shape. **Price:** $1,999, open to offers. I’ve heard conflicting reports about what these watches retailed for in the 90’s, but the lowest of those estimates was $6,000 USD. Compare to the IWC Ocean 2000, a very similar design and (the same?) ETA movement that still go for $5,000 - 10,000. People still don’t know about this model and the quality of it - I think there’s upward mobility in the price. See the review I posted in comments. It’s a total steal for the quality of this piece. Price includes FedEx Express insured shipping to USA. Payment accepted is bank wire, Zelle, PayPal G&S with references (fees covered by buyer). **Pictures:** [https://imgur.com/a/4UEQNHf](https://imgur.com/a/4UEQNHf) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/BpiS5QZ](https://imgur.com/a/BpiS5QZ) **About Me:** I got bit by the collection bug about a decade ago. The passion waned, the watches went into (well-protected, indoor) storage. It's just time to sell them all. I know it's hard to buy online, harder still when the Seller has no trust built up in the community. If this watch makes your heart beat faster, message me! I'm sure we can find a way to address your concerns with the right dialogue. I'll respond promptly, and I'm willing to get on the phone or a FaceTime with the watch and my smiling face. **Review:** [Detailed Youtube review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv7Y4y5VBIk), [Analog Shift](https://www.analogshift.com/products/porsche-design-ocean-2000) on the IWC Porsche Designs Ocean 2000
