Viennawatch Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Has anyone recently ordered an IWC Ingeniur which is prone to scratches on the glass? I have long stopped wearing this watch, but I am just curious if anyone has experienced this issue. The INGY supposedly has sapphire and good AR out of the box, but its still got quite a few scratches in it. (Of course from my carelessness) But I have been just as careless with my SUB rep, which supposedly has neither and still has no scratches... I find this kind of odd... Obviously I am way past the date of being able to get a replacement, so I am may just replace it with a real ARed Sapphire glass. I won't call out the dealer because I trust him and I have ordered pretty much all my watches from him and haven't had any bad luck, except that of my own (banging, dropping, etc... lol) But I think the IWC in this case with the supposed sapphire glass was bad luck. Would be interesting to know your experiences. Regards, MArtin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I may have a Ingy crystal with my AR on it lying around, if you wanted to do a swap + cash. It's for the original EL model, though. So I'd have to verify that it fits your watch first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viennawatch Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Chief! Thx for the offer, but I think I will leave it like this for now... I need to take care of my Pam 183 and UPO for now! Nevertheless, thx for the offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerShot Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I have the same thing & was about to start a thread on it too! Nasty scratches Chief, do yours AR glass keep this nice blue tint? Here a pictures of mine! (old pics, two more scratches are visible by now, thanks to dog friend of mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viennawatch Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Powershot! I would say go for Chief's AR sapphire glass. Unlike the crappy glass we got with the IWC which seems to have been painted or something, his is the real deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
