It came in a white box

Opened to the inner black box

And the watch... wait.. where the watch?

Ohh.. it is on my wrist. Now I am an Ir. Ohh... I meant Ingenieur on my wrist.

More pictures

The IWC 3228, another non black dial added to my humble collection

Classic case of you can run but you can't hide

The condition is great. minor light scratches that can be easily polished

Nice!
This was the exact model i wanted to get not too long ago.
But then found out it had a see thru case back, means no AM.
Kinda defeats the purpose of having a ING IMO.

But that movement sure is a looker!
Next time you back must show me hehe.

nice IWC.I was targeting the black version but local AD prices are not so attractive.
Is this brand new or bought from overseas online?
Care to pm me the seller and price?
Looks like we have similar targets..Nautilus, GS, AP (RO not ROO for me), Polaris...

Sure bro. I can understand how you feel about the clear case back and non anti magnetic function. For the benefit of others, I repeat roughly what I said in our conversation. If I didn't have many black dials, I would go for the black dial. This one in particular has a clear case back and thinner dial. Basically, the anti magnetic function is gone go against what this particular IWC Ingenieur models were designed for. But what about Big Ingenieur?

My uttermost criterion is the non-black dial. For my skinny wrist, 40mm case diameter is a big plus for me. 40mm fits nicely. For a good anti magnetic watch, I would say Milgauss is the better bet with soft iron case back and no window date.

That's one good looking IWC Ingenieur.

Hope I'm not too late to congratulate you on this great catch.

shahzh · « **Reply #19 on:** May 28, 2012, 06:02:22 PM »

Nice piece indeed. Wear it in good health

sshark · « **Reply #20 on:** May 28, 2012, 10:45:37 PM »

Thank you

I personally find the bracelet is of superb design. no visible gap at the clasp closing. so damn ez to adjust the bracelet length. can even do it with toothpick. the bracelet feels solid and comfortable. my only complaint so far about the bracelet is the polished center. it makes the watch bit bling
