maxmilian Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 The regular IWC SS is my personal favorite, but this one is also good ! How a good price was it ?
Usil Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Yes, I like it. I have it in Titainium. I did not buy this last year when they were floating around a lot but always thought that there was something about the understated simplicity. Then I got one recently from a member and the size, fit and finish were more than I expected. I wore it all last week. I like IWC a lot. And, as always - great shots. Usil
maxmilian Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Ohh I forgot to say , marvelous shots !!
Stephane Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Wow, It's been a while that I follow this watch but your pics are making me kinda wanting it now ! Beautifull fotos TTK !
NRG Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I've never like the way the number 10 is cutoff...not for me... BTW: Excellent photo's as always TTK
Glitch Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) the min and hour hands on every AMG Ingenieur that I have seen are short. anyone knows who has the correct length hands? Edited April 23, 2007 by Glitch
Glitch Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Yeah....IWC....! I should have seen that coming.... still a great Ingenieur overall. understated elegance.
Guest TTK Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) What I actually like about is it's simplicity.....understated.....but looks every inch the model of efficiency......worn casually or under a shirt sleeve......not too thick...not overized.....just right..... @Max.....it was a very good price......$255.00 which included everything......a QC check....the guy even pressure tested it for me......and he was fast at getting me it.....

eunomians Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Just lookin' at these pics makes me wanna perhaps buy one. I didn't like 'em when they first came out, but they are starting to grow on me.
yepme Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Wish I had your photography skills, TTK. Can you offer any help with THIS TTK?
HauteHippie Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Nice, TTK. One thing I like about the original Ingenieur is the textured dial vs. the smooth dial on this one. However, I do like the additional 2, 4, 8, 10 numerals on this dial as opposed to the stick markers on the original, and the red seconds hand is quite nice also. A very versatile piece indeed, especially with the nylon band. Not one I see floating around the rep boards with much frequency (a plus IMO).
qwert750 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Great watch, but if memory serves, the AMG gen only comes in titanium... I have the ss rep with the standard dial - got it before the AMG came out - would love this version in titanium with the kevlar strap... Amazing photos as always...
Usil Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Got you beat TTK. I paid 195 USD for my IWC Ing. AMG from a member with bracelet and strap. I like the red second hand combination with the rest of the dial and hands. I agree about not to heavy or thick. Big enough but not oversized. Good design and engineering in this model. There have been lots of good deals from members lately. Just paid 30 USD for a Pam Black Seal that runs well. I like these deals because I can dissasemble, clean up, polish and re-band and not have paid a lot for the final project. Maybe practice re-luming. Got a Breitling Bentley for about 1/2 price from a member too. Perfect condition. Usil
