Title: IWC Ingenieur IW323902: that lust satiated
Post by: mikeylacroix on February 13, 2015, 07:26:10 AM
There's just something about integrated bracelets I can't shake.
Been lusting after a VC overseas 3 hander for a while now..but I just don't like arabic numerals nor that odd shaped date window
this version of the ingenieur ticked many boxes when it got released..except for the price
lo and behold a 2013 model with B&P came up at a steal

beautiful balanced face check

stick applied indices check

black date disc to match a black dial check

chapter ring, layered dial for texture contrast and depth check

Yes, the Ingenieur's bracelet kicks some asses, easily on par if not better than the AP RO's.

This is a classic!!!

I like this better than its larger siblings.   This is the closest to the orginal Ingenieur designed by the legendary Gerald Genta.

Good cloice!! :thumbsup:

Congrats, nice watch! A very big premium on price though, for an ETA-based movement.
