Ingenieur - Does a cheaper rep exists?

In my quest through this forum i came across with this watch:

So, after breitling, panerai, rolex... iwc is the next one :)

I searched through the usual dealers i only find 250$usd +++ versions.

Does a cheaper version exists? Who sells it?

thanks

There used to be a cheaper version... not as good as the $250+ rep but my father is more than happy with it and some of his friends eyeball his wrist all the time when he is wearing that nice IWC :lol: They all have no clue and just know the name (IWC) and that it should have a sweephand... so he loves it.

I actually offered him to wear my Ingenieur (the expensive one) so his might be available if he agrees. It has a dark blue dial, steel is matte and has somesort of titanium look and it has of course a chinese movement. Let me know if you're interested... :)

Yes, there was another version prior to the current one. I was an early adopter of the new Ingenieur and was sent the old version on accident by Andrew. He then sent me the new one and told me to keep the original for the trouble. I've never sized the old one (just sits in the watch box), which is quite a bit different than the current model. Here are some pics including a couple with "new" version (which serves as my daily beater)...

Yes, there is some very cheap craps.

This one is found on a Malaysian auction website.

Only selling at RM68 (appr. $ 22), real cheap,... but I wouldn't touch it. :rolleyes:

lol.. looks like crap...

By cheaper i was pointing to something in the 150$ mark..

I'm saving for the 200ish version.

thanks all
