Devedander Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 I think that's a trick that the bars around the word re playing on your eyes...
pobiga Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 GREEEAT! I got today my Ingy from Jay. Wonderful piece of art No issue found, dial is perfect, hands are OK+++++. I checked with a magnifier lens but I have not been able to see any defects. I'm very satsfied of the result of this GB and ..... A BIG THANKS TO RT and, of course, thanks to Jay & Angel. I adjusted my bracelet and as result I have one bracelet link available. If someone is interested, please PM me and I send out to him free of charghe. Se non mi omaggi di un paio di foto con l'iwc al polso mi offendo!!! Bell'acquisto. Ryaku, appena possibile ti accontento! Grazie e ciao.
torresp Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Just receive 2 packages from Jay. Mine was open and watch is perfect, no issues found, dial, hands and bracelet perfects. The other watch will be forwarded to shultz tomorrow. Thanks Jay and RT. By the way, I fond the bracelet very fragile (specially the clasp), so wath do you think about my proposal?: we could contact with Aaron or Marcus (bob straps) to ask for a number of kevlar//leather straps with or without buckle considering the high price of the OEM. Any thoughts guys?
sam_tgg Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Torresp, very good idea. I will go for sure for the kevlar. But I never saw it from our dealers...
Devedander Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 What's wrong with the clasp on these? Kevlar sounds good... but sonds epxensive.
torresp Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 well, not exactly kevlar. Surfing of the net I found that only Ingy-AMG comes with strap: nylon with leather lining and tang bucle (easy to find, I remember Andy Timeman had some of these). Check the pics:
sam_tgg Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Yes, it is beautifull. The only thing it would be especially designed for us. I saw it in the AMG in an AP and it is really impresive. Something similar in black or dark grey in carbon fiver would be also very nice.. And to find a good looking buckle.
Devedander Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Not to devalue this GB or anything but did the Ingy price drop across the board pretty heavily recently? Silix now has it for $160...
Richard Tracy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 Not to devalue this GB or anything but did the Ingy price drop across the board pretty heavily recently? Silix now has it for $160... Where do you see that ? Never mind.. that's the old version.... http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1326 Check the hands....
Devedander Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) http://silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1326 Paul has it for $179 and I am thinking free shipping (not bringing into it the whole wo-mart reliabilty thing) http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...products_id=847 I was happy to pay $205 for it then so I can't gripe now, but it is kinda harsh considering mine shipped just 2 days ago (and actually is still in China as of nov 13 according to EMS tracking)... I guess it can go both ways... wait and loose out (SMP with proper HE valve and pins) or jump the gun and pay more... live and learn I suppose... Edited November 13, 2006 by Devedander
sam_tgg Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Devedander, look at the back: http://www.silix-prime.com/images/upfile/iwcs001-3.jpg
Devedander Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Hmmm... I didn't catch that... being the only Ingy I saw on his site I thought it must be the same... My mistake and apologies for not being more astute... I will do my best not to make that mistake again
Richard Tracy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 Devedander,... both those are the older versions....no more worries,.. you've got the best watch, for the best price... and from the best dealer... Also a thanks to Torresp, for the report and band idea ! Looks like Jay is holding up his agreement...! By the way, when anyone posts their ideal watch for our next GB... please chime in and vote on the choices,.. most voted will be IT !
pobiga Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Devedander,... both those are the older versions....no more worries,.. you've got the best watch, for the best price... and from the best dealer... NO DOUBT, THANKS RT!!

Again my thanks for your work and apologies for speaking too soon Hopefully my watches get here this week and I can say empirically that Jan and Angel are top notch dealers (certainly seem so thus far). Are you going to make a vote thread for the next GB?
Richard Tracy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 Are you going to make a vote thread for the next GB? Well I am watching Honpo and keeping my antennas up.. also scanning this thread for ideas... Whatever we pick needs to popular for at least 50 people.... I think now that we have broken the 25 person barrier, we can enjoy even better pricing and service.... After that,.. who knows..higher numbers may even allow us to order a watch repped specifically for us....
Pugwash Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 After that,.. who knows..higher numbers may even allow us to order a watch repped specifically for us.... Make it this one or I'll have to steal a gen ...
Richard Tracy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 Make it this one or I'll have to steal a gen ... Great Choice... I vote for that !
seagull11 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 I have a couple of spare links if anyone is in need. PM me. Watch is looking very good (from EL). Like everyone else, no papers with box set.
torresp Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 I have another two too if anyone interested...
torresp Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 @RT: what's about non-chrono aquatimer with real titanium and ar-coating crystal? (I only saw cheapo reps)...
Devedander Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) After that,.. who knows..higher numbers may even allow us to order a watch repped specifically for us.... Like something with a working moonphase that doesn't smile at you or a 7753? BTW if it's an IWC again I would love to see a good deal on a 95%+ Flieger... or bring back a round of proper SMPs... Would also like to see how low we could get the price on some solid Tags... Edited November 13, 2006 by Devedander
Richard Tracy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 @RT: what's about non-chrono aquatimer with real titanium and ar-coating crystal? (I only saw cheapo reps)... I like that as well... should be an easy replicate.... Anyone else...?
