I love the Ingenieur, looked around for ages trying to find one and this one came up I think its one of the older versions....but new to me
-
Looks really good woof
Mine is straight from the dealers with eta movement, I am not sure how accurate it is but love it all the same......till I saw yours 
-
Thanks for your kind comments guys
from what I gather it's a Swiss Eta movement, not checked yet but purrs along nicely, it's a few years old but to be honest looks like it has been looked after really well. I will probably end up just giving the bracelet a good lube and refinish it, case needs very little work though to get spot on 
Size 40mm / 47mm inc crown and it wears just beautifully.., The AR on this thing is superb just wish all my others were the same
Have a great weekend all

Another day....same watch

Hi Steve,
I'm still pretty much a noob here but I have modded quite a few bracelets thus far
I followed a great thread posted quite a while ago now re using 'white lightning' which is a bike chain lube, its the easiest and by far the mod for me that makes the most difference in how the watch bracelet feels on your wrist
I have a few Gens and I have done the same with them too...goes something like this..First I remove the bracelet from the watch then I get a plastic food type clear bag and put the bracelet in, add a generous amount of the fluid and start working it into the links making sure to cover the entire bracelet inc the clasp and extensions if they are there, you will see quite a bit of crap come out of the bracelet in the fluid, its the machining dust and crud that doesn't get washed away properly on the rep stuff (but the gens weren't that clean either!) I work it for at least 15-20 mins then I leave it with the bag open to let the solvent side of the oil evaporate away........
Give it at least 5-10 mins then take it out of the bag it will look crappy! It's covered in the waxy residue of the white lightning, just simply grab an old toothbrush, or someone else's if you wish
, and put a small amount of shower gel or soap onto the toothbrush, then work the soap into the bracelet giving it a good scrub all over, you will remove the outer wax but the wax in the bracelet links will stay put!Then just give it a thorough wash in warm water.Leave it to dry and then buff it up with a towel or microfibre cloth if you have one.....job done now just refit it and enjoy
You can get white lightning on the bay here

This one again today....
-
Just got a new addition to my keepers box......love it already
Excuse my photo skills guys just wanted to share this one
and thanks to a member here, a great guy for letting me take it off his hands, I'll look after her mate! -
'In all honesty though, the chances of someone asking or even noticing what you're wearing is so slim, it's really not worth worrying about'
I would totally agree with that
Rolex or Omega are a good choice but stay away from the UPO version if you have smaller wrists, in my opinion the 42mm would be great though!I do have a brand new Seadweller for sale too if your interested
-
By no means an expert but so far I have a few Rolex in the watch box, by far the most used by me are my Bk Sub and my no date Sub, the Bk I bought on here from another member for under $400 the no date from Trevor for under $ 200

Amazes me every time I see these that people actually bid thinking they are gonna get a Genuine Rolex
-
This one today on new Military strap now, have a great weekend
Hate posting after you Gran you take the best pics

Lol saw an advert the other day for retirement villages in my area ' the peaceful life for the over 45's'
better get me zimmer frame out soon eh Seriously though I'm sure Super meant no harm!
I was a young pup in the 80's....and loved it
no Rolex modding for me at the time though! -
The start of many purchases I'm sure Sam
enjoy them ! -
My only silverish one......drooling over that Hamilton U nearly picked one up a while ago with the black face....silver is awesome though
-
Good on ya Ken
best place in the world......... -

Having had the Gen before the rep I would say don't bother either with the Gen bracelet
the look, feel and wear ability of the rep is really great once you work it a little.Like the guys have said to you already give the thing a good clean down and polish and it'll feel a million times better, mine did
I use White Lightning on mine its bloody awesome stuff and last for ages!
-
Love Ebay too great for bargains
and yes I bloody well hope he does win on his shill bids!Some people have no spine mate
-
Bloody hell, how many bids can you make up on 1 Auction
you would have to be mad to bid on this one 
well spotted ! -
I have just had a good chat with the seller and tried to make 'her' see sense to no avail I might add she still insists it is Gen
Not my money fortunately but like you say 'some people don't deserve their money', gotta say it 'there's one born every minute' though!
Leave it to the gods on the bay then
-
Your house rocks Gran
