Guest michalis6 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hi folks I am recently looking at the IWC ingenieur and i really think I like this model. I had the chance to try on a gen one yesterday and i loved it My questions: How many generations of them do we currently have? How accurate the rep ingenieur is? Should i buy one or just wait for a next version? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an active member at other forums too. I am glad I am part of this special group and just wanted to mention that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Current one is great apart from datewheel. Do a few searches and you'll see what issues there may be and get that checked over. Go for it. There are a few people selling the current one at cheaper prices in trading zone, so I'd go for that if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 My only concern about the ingenieur would be the seemingly poor welding of the clasp/bracelet. There have been a number of people that have had their ingy break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devedander Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Seems most common issues are: Missaligned dial/face which can usually be fixed with a jaxa tool and a little turn Chipped dial around the endges - seems very prevelant, check if dealer will replace watch if you get a chipped dial or just send you a new dial (in which case you have to figure out how to replace the dial) Broken clasp weld - some came broken, some say it breaks easily on it's own after a while... this is most scary because it can send your watch flying to the ground or out the car window... however a jewler should be able to fix it for you with a quick weld after it breaks...
