dylan Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Hey guys, This is an oldie but a goodie. For the Ingy owners you know what I'm talking about. It is such a quality made rep. There were various dial differences throughout the Ingy years. I have two of them. One already has a Lello dw installed the other has it unmounted. I actually owned a sweet fully modded one back in the day but stupidly sold it thinking Lello and the Ingy would be around forever. Well that didn't happen. One of them has Chief's double AR and the other has K222's double AR. Chief's double AR is absolutely ridiculous. The only difference that I could see in the dials is that the print is bolder on one dial while the other one is more precise & fine. I have a bracelet, genuine IWC kevlar, and a custom leather strap for them. I love them so much I have two. Just in case. Unfortunately the rep factories phased these out once the gen version was phased out of IWC's product line Even though these are a couple of years old, they still crush a lot of the new reps that are coming out of the factories. They just ooze quality.
redwatch Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Great shots! Love it on the bracelet! Haven't seen that one too often!! Every time I see these I remember that I still have to build my Ingy AMG Chrono with gen dial.
dylan Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Posted December 2, 2011 I'm jealous of your gen dial..... this is the one watch that I would pay good money for for a gen dial & hands.
dluddy Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Love the strap on it. I agree and my modded Ingy is still one of my colection favorites
FxrAndy Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 I know , it just fits every where, my similar post here and my fav ingy pic My twins Is that a Jacob strap???
dylan Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Posted December 2, 2011 LOL...it is indeed a Jacob strap. He does amazing custom work!
cornerstone Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 Thumps up for the Ingy. Waaaay up.
krpster Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 Nice pair. I almost brought myself to get one of these on a few occasions but never did. Wish I had

Logan Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Yes any collector should have one or two of these, The case and bracelet finishing was some of the best ever. Of all my watches these are some of the few that truly feel like a genuine
Tom Hawkes Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Even though these are a couple of years old, they still crush a lot of the new reps that are coming out of the factories. They just ooze quality. Ooze as in dials chipping away and braceletts breaking apart at the soldered spots? Great pics though.
pizzanooo Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 FxrAndy, I remember that mountain pic of yours, best shot of it ever. Had one myself with all the goodies, even had vac give it a mild lume like the gen. Someone on here offered me a price I could`nt refuse and off it went.
FxrAndy Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Shame on you Pizzanooo I bet you miss it
MyNameIsPeterAndImOld Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Is there anyone still selling this Lello datewheel?
Watchmeister Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Wow, blast from the past. I built one or two of those frankens maybe 5 years ago or something. I sold mine off to fund a couple of gen dials for the VC Overseas but it still looks great. Now I am missing it. Wear that one well.
Antonio_Montana Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 I still want one of these! Love m
txcollector Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 I know , it just fits every where, my similar post here and my fav ingy pic My twins Andy, your gen/rep comparison was the one the led me to the rep but I still can't believe the gen AR is so blue. Is it the gen on your top picture? I love my Ingy but I still wonder if the AR is correct.
txcollector Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 No mate the top pic is the rep so is the strong bright blue hue also present on the gen? I'd expect at least a more pastel/subdue color.
FxrAndy Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 na it is pretty much the same as the rep, blue
lfovco Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 I decided that I will put mine up for sale, it is too heavy for me so I don't wear it much, it is an awesome rep though.
TmeShare Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 I have the Ing also. The rep was so good that the OEM carbon style strap fit with no problems. It is unfortunate that it just did not get the attention/buyers that IWC hoped for with the re-release. Would love a rep of the Big Ing as the same quality as the first one but it does not look like it is going to happen as it has been some time. TimeShare
