Richard Tracy Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sorry if I incomodate someone, but I think this issue with the font and the AR coating is a little bit...... you understand me. First, I know nobody that looks what is really the font of a watch, when is looking a watch, and not looking if the watch is a fake or not. I see the watch (this concrete) in the shops here in Stuttgart (just two have it), and I NEVER look at the font, becuase what I like is the watch. Even if someone looks at my watch, she/he will never look at the font and say.... "uhm, the correct Ingenieur have a more bold font..." first because is a 5000€ watch, and second because nobody knows the fonts of the 20 different IWC watches (and 200 other different brands...). And scond. I respect all opinions, but this "180 and I go" "180 but with the new font". I really do not understand you. Since I saw the watch I was thinking (really a lot) of buying this watch. But most dealers have it for 270$ plus shipping (Andrew is my favorite dealer). If I can have it for 210 shipped, I am more than happy!!!!! And revised and coming from a good dealer like King. What I have to do, in my opinion, is giving thanks to Richard for his work. I repeat, sorry if someone thinks I am rude, and I understand that everyone have their expectations, but buying a 95% (OK lets say 90%) IWC Ingenieur, with a reliable swiss movement, for 210 when the original cost more than 5000 it is within my expectations. My 2cents!!! I agree totally, every rep out of the box has flaws.. There are no perfect UnModded Replicas..and this one can be easily made to 100%. However this particular watch as is .. is already a solid beauty in it's own right. Difference does not always equal worse... besides at this price of almost a 33% discount, it's more than worth it. This piece I would bet, will hold it's own in One Generation, just as the Gst did before it. I would also appreciate it, if you who are wishing to compare flaws would do it outside of group buy threads.. There are places for those discussions, which do not take our mission off track. Thanks... 20. Horse Five More Slots Available ...Then we close out, and order our Toys....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devedander Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I am sorry, I didn't mean to thread jack the GB thread... but it looks like this GB is filling up fast and I searched all the ingenuire threads I could find and was hoping for more clarification. The differences on non 2 numbers wasn't extreme, I just now saw the difference on 2's and it worried me. I figured this is where all the IWC attention is so I would give it a shot here. We may be anal retentive in different ways bu t I think we can all understandt he desire to not have that one fault that would really bother you.

takashi Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Trust me... You wont regret getting this rep... As for crooked bezel, fix it using jaxa tools. I dare to say that this rep watch is among the best constructed rep to date. Shipping to Singapore should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devedander Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well I am either going to regret getting a watch with an improper date font or I am going to regret not filling my need for a simple non chrono watch that looks decided nice... Might as well regret it with a watch on my writst right? Count me in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAMman Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I will need an extra link as the standard watch, if it's the same as the GST, will be a tad tight - one link should do the trick.

Since we are awaiting the final reply from King,.. I figure before she does reply, why not allow a few more, and try again for a lower price....
