Quite some time ago, FxrAndy posted up a great comparison of the gen vs rep Ingy. (you can find the review here) I remember drooling over those pics and thinking to myself that the Ingy is one beautiful, yet very understated watch. I didn't give it much thought after that. The one major upgrade that must happen to an Ingy is the date wheel. There was a beautiful rep date wheel produced by Lello which is no longer available and rare as hens teeth. Without that DW, the rep is a waste of time (in my opinion). A few weeks ago, shockingly to my surprise, FxrAndy posted his beautiful Ingy for sale. I just happened to be up at 4am that morning because my dog had woken me up to go to the bathroom. I couldn't get back to sleep so I turned to RWG for some "light" reading. Little did I know that I was about to make the purchase of the century. I came along Andy's FS thread and immediately PM'd him saying I would be happy to take the watch off his hands. A short time later the watch arrived, perfectly packaged and with a "note" stating that "you should be more careful not to drop the watch on the marble floor". Brilliantly stated and clearly for the sake of Mr Customs man. Certainly brought a smile to my face!! Anyways, it just so happens that I have a new lens in my collection and I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to show off my new Ingy On to the pics: Look at this ridiculous lume!!! This was another selling point for me. One of only two rep Ingy's with the small numerals lumed at the outside edge: And of course, the wrist shot: P.S. for you photogs out there - the new lens is a Nikon 105mm f/2.8 Micro VR
