Chronus Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I would not bother putting a gen movement in this watch, unless you could source a gen dial and hands to match? That's probably next to impossible I still can't find any for my AMG Ingenieurs, or the SS versions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concepta Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well lets see For me the second hand is too short, and the wrong shape and colour at the tip. The main lettering on the dial does not have a flattened area around the font, nor does the flattened area extend around the date window, which is in the wrong position by a mm or so. Of course the date font is wrong. The outer edges of the dial is printed way too thin, including the little ticks and circle marks..... Not to mention the back of the watch, which has a display back showing the wrong movement..... Not very accurate That Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 This replica of ceramic Ingenieur is not very accurate. Look for the reasons given above. I think you can't go wrong with these models: Ingenieur AMG Ti Chrono/non Chrono Ingenieur SS Chrono/non Chrono I was torn between all these models. All has their unique flaws so I settled with 3 of them and start modifying them. Firstly on all AMG rep, the caseback is not really 1:1. You can see the genuine has much better finishing. The Ti feels slightly different too. The genuine has a much finer finishing. On the chronograph models, you have to deal with dodgy Asian 7750 with running second at 6. So if reliability tops your list, go for non chrono version. The non chrono version suffers from slightly wrong datefont and short minute hand. Apart from that, none of the caseback looks 1:1 to original. The Co. on SS model is wrong and again the Ti AMG models suffers from slightly less detailed caseback. The bottom line if you go for one of these, get a double sided AR coating. It makes a huge difference. Watch out for dodgy bracelet too. I have seen recent SS bracelet on this Ingenieur is not as well made as the older first generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
