Iwc Ingenieur with mods by Vac.

This Ingie just got the last of a full treatment. Vacuum installed the datewheel & put on a nice mild lume per the gen.

Here`s whats been done to it.

Originally from Ruby, I liked it how it was. But we know how that can be short lived. Bought another Ingie from a member who put his up for sale with some gen parts installed. This had a gen crystal & crown. Crystal was to die for as seen in the pics. Crown was the same, maybe a tad larger. Took the crystal and crown and put them on the original one I had. For what I could see, there may be two manufactures producing these. The one I had was much crisper in the engraving on the back & the case was more refined and polished up a lot nicer. Then I got in a new datewheel and sent it off to Vac for the final service.

My thanks again to Vac who has done another fine piece of work. I have several modded watches that without his expertise and craftsmanship I would not have the pleasure to enjoy.

Here`s the pics...

Some table shots, the first one shows the hands a bit golden from the reflective glare of the sun. Especially like this one.

Very nice.

So the gen crown fits the rep tube? any info on the source of these items?

I bot an extra dial in hopes of re-luming it but getting lume in between the markers cleanly proved too difficult for my skills. I wasn't happy with my results and just stuck on lumed C1 hands. Damn gen has the 15, 30, 45 and 60 numbers lumed anyways and reproducing that would be way too difficult. :)
