My Ingy is the 3228 which I have read was limited to around 800 units, first launched in 2008. It was a 40mm 'test model' for the 80111 in-house movement, whereas the volume model 3227 came in a 42mm case. Bought mine from a fellow forum member.
Design wise considering that the Ingy competes in the realm of AP RO and Nautilus (all Genta classics) I find it to be a value buy. Bracelet is very comfortable, I also ordered an aftermarket leather strap from Jacob Straps for variety. Only downside is the thickness though it doesn't bother me much as the watch wears quite comfortably.
Compared with the current 40mm Ingy (thinner case with crown guards, movement is Sellita based), I definitely prefer the 3228. But this may change as I have a chance to get the blue dial Laureaus Ingy in the next couple months. If this happens, sadly one will have to go.
oh.. its 3228, its the angle of your photo, i thought its vintage version.
i handle few 3228, mwf store also sold 1. the price is so affordable for this model now.
many of our members hv it.
40mm white dial gold index, its dressy, just not so thin.... but i like it alot.
i had the 42mm 3227, black dial, bit more sporty and muscular, still on of my favourite.
very well modernization of the old ingenieur that designed by G.Genta
my taste - among all G. Genta deigned steel watches that era
RO is the best
Ingenieur second
follow by Nautilus and oversea
lets the 3228 and my 3227 catch up for tea 1 day
