IWC Ingenieur 7 days

Recommended Posts

Hi all IWC experts.

The other day in an AD I got to try on the 45mm Ingenieur 7 days.

post-3909-125779144231_thumb.jpg PIC of a gen.

Checking the dealers I've found 2 versions it seems.

The 42mm with nice decorated movement and seemingly working power reserve indicator.

The 45mm with not so nice movement and seemingly faux power reserve indicator.

I've done a search here but can't seem to find any references or reviews of either of these.

So - any thoughts how these reps stand up?

Is there a better 45mm one with decorated movement and working power reserve indicator?

If yes - any guidelines as to where?

Anyone bought either of these, and how do they compare to the gen?

I see the reps also only come on kevlar straps (from the dealer sites I've looked at), whereas the one in the AD was on a gorgeous black croc....

All helps and pointers gratefully received..... :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Hi mate,

I like this baby too but it seems it has no much success so far.

The 42 mm (rep) has many faults. The most visible ones are: Date window, date window font, crown guards and crown (both too far off).

Can only find genuines with 45 mm but cannot find any rep with 45 mm. Can you provide a link for the 45 mm rep to compare ??

There you go.... Trusty....but the movement and rotor have no engravings...

Thats right good value despite the back, I've always hankered after the ceramic http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_192&products_id=3854 version after seeing one at an AD

I agree. But the big problem here is that the movement, rotor and caseback seem totally plain. No engravings at all........

Such a shame as it's a very nice watch in person. Lots of presence, especially the textured dial....
