piratedzeus Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 get non amg amg non chrono looks so boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't know how accurate the AMG series are, but i thought they where even closer than the steel Ingenieur. Maybe it's good to go to a local AD and see which one you prefer on the wrist. Titanium is very light and i don't know if you like that light (or heavy of the steel) feeling on the wrist... One thing... be very carefull with the chronographs, both AMG titanium and steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Definately go for non AMG. In saying that though, send it off to k222 for the double AR and get a lello dw. Those are a must. After that, it looks very close to gen. The only give aways are the hands are shorter than the gen (no-one will pick that up on the wrist) and the 'CO' engraved on the back should be 'Co'. Apart from that, no-one will ever know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Go for the "normal" Ingenieur! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekracer20 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I would go for the SS inge, NON-chrono. I personally don't feel the need to have an AR coat added to it, but lello's beautiful datewheel is probably a must. That's what I have, and I wear it almost every day.

k2222 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 i sold mine ss version and that was very stupid, ss is very well made rep. chrono verion is even more accurate, but sooner or later you will have problems with the movement, both mods for this one are mandatory.

Guru1 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) get the new normal Ingy, best coating I have seen on a rep. No mods neccessary, the only thing is that the hands are not long enough, but that is a know fact. The watch is amazing. After adjusting it, it gains 1 sec / week Edited January 22, 2008 by SFSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmilian Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Here is the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Another vote for the normal Ingy. The hands are not too short. I have seen early gen Ingys with shorter hands like the rep. With AR and a Lello disc, the Ingy is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 The Ti finish on the AMG doesn't look quite right to me - I vote standard Ingie with the mods - Lello datewheel, Chief Double AR, Ziggy relume - Hands are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 S/S all the way. Add a new wheel and ar, one of the best reps with mods. Vac put a mild lume on this one, gen lume is not so great so no superlume on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 SS non-chrono, Lello datewheel & AR. I have worn the gen SS watch and the rep is so close that you won't notice the difference. I have a friend who has the AMG chrono and my rep truly feels better due to the superb finish, the simple classic dial and the extra heft. A modded SS rep is probably the best replica available, bar none. If the rep can be fitted with a 2892 movement that's the way I'm going as I have a new ETA 2892 decorated movement and I think that this is the only worthy home for it.

Kollektor Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Max, the clarity of the dial in those pics took my breath away. What a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condena Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Someone knows if the new one AMG titanium, sales by joshua, takes really double AR in the crystal?? Fodder that if it has the same dimensions that the ingy not to be problems in to put the same crystal in both models, ingy and AMG. Thanks in advance.

takashi Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I would say get the non AMG non Chrono... This is one of the best looking Ingenieur. The next will be Chrono AMG but sadly movement with second at 6 is not that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condena Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I am interested in the AMG as which my brother has the Ingenieur and we will be able to interchange them in any moment Thanks takashi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I stuck with the standard Inge based on concern with the chrono movement. IMHO, if you want a chrono go with the slevin or CD. If you are going with the ti AMG chrono than be prepared to spend some time with a cape cod as the finish is a touch too granular and dark versus the gen. I don't know if the cloth actually did anything to the surface but it does remove the oxidation which builds up on ti. It worked wonders on a Chrono Avenger.

spookycord Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 One of my favorites. Lello DW on the way. Can't go wrong here. Anyone have this on a nylon strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condena Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 The model that i want to buy is Ingenieur AMG titanium, non chrono. I ask for the doble AR in the IWC Ingenieur AMG titanium, non chrono. In perfect clones, this model has sapphire glass with doble AR, i ask if someone kows that this point is truth or a trade tactics from josh??

Chronus Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well I have both versions of the non-chronos and I have never worn the SS (still in it's box with plastic wrapping etc) but wear the titanium AMG version a lot.... constantly the past few weeks... that is the one that will always go on if I can't decide. I love the red accents on the dial Of course, some may remember I prefer titanium anyway, and not just for dermatological reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The standard SS is just ausome but it is your choice, get what you want, i am sure that the Ti version is just as good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
