Franken IWC Ingenieur Chronograph 3725-01/04 Hybrid

Today I'm going to present you a rare bird...my franken IWC Ingenieur 3725-01/04 Hybrid Chronograph.

The 3725 chrono seems to be not that popular at the rep fora...at least there is no introduction and not that much else to find around here and the other rep fora.

So here are a little infos about the gen...

Now back to my watch

Only a few weeks ago I was able to buy this as a Noob version over at the other rwg. The moment I saw her for sale I fell in love with her and had to get her. The bracelet was too short for me but I didn't care...if it wasn't possible to find a new bracelet or at least one or two links I still could buy a nice strap.
While on the hunt for a link or a bracelet I stumbled over a gen 3725-04 dial in great condition...why not franken it I asked myself and within a heartbeat the dial was mine
I already had a gen swiss 7750 to put into and the day the dial arrived I went to Domi to let him build my franken. And...lucky me...he had a gen link which perfectly fit to the noob bracelet
That was Tuesday this week...yesterday he was done with my watches and so I picked her up.
Once on the wrist he told me that he had a present for me but it's already on the watch...
He had some older gen hands lying around that were initially for the 3725-04 Chrono but since I already had a 3725-04 dial on it he decided to put in on my watch
The gen swiss 7750 is modified with Domis famous sec@6 mod and is as reliable as the gen 79350 now (which is in fact a modified 7750 )

Specs of my IWC Ingenieur Chrono:

Now on to the pics...

That is stunning. The gen dial and hands compliment me the near perfect rep case.

Isn't that funny? So much work and effort in making a gen like case and bracelet but way less when it comes to dial and hands...

Whats domis mod all about?

[docthor]

New gear train, jewels, modifying the module plate to have a seat for the new gear...at least that's what I understood

Domi said I don't have to worry about the movement anymore. It only stops when there's no more power reserve (due to not wearing/winding).
