Pix Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Hi Folks, well I think that all has been said about this legendary rep but I could not help launching a new thread with a small homage in pictures. Prior to posting my shots, I think it makes sense to link to threads which made me pull the trigger on that other Genta's masterpiece : Awesome SD4K's review [url=http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=33878&hl=ingenieur]St
bong Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Very nice watch and very nice pics. Edited March 2, 2008 by bong
b16a2 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Nice post! I saw one of these in an AD the other day, it is a truly beautiful watch!
Watchmeister Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 The Inge is a poster child for a well executed rep. I can't say I wear it that often but it is one I would never part with. May many more reps of this quality come forth in the New Year. Wear it well.
HauteHippie Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Love the Inge! Great pictorial, Pix. I have seen a few of these rep factory coated Inge crystals in person now, though... And I haven't been too impressed. It's strong in color and weak in anti reflectiveness. The difference after stripping and recoating is tremendous, at least on my end.
Seadweller4000 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Great post and beautiful pics! This is a tribute this watch really deserves! Linked to the guide.
dluddy Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Great tribute to an outstanding rep and one I don't think will leave my rotation anytime soon. And great Pics Pix
Pix Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 There's a thing I forgot to mention : the lume is really poor... Compared to better luming we see these days on other reps.
chrgod Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Great summary of the Ingenieur! It is truly one of the best replicas out there. I love mine. The short hands does not look good though. I think that the earliest batch of the genuine has short hands. I have posted this before, but I can repeat it here: An IWC Ingenieur promotional video on Youtube displays an Ingenieur with short hands and the same date font as the replica. Interesting!
Pix Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Thx for your providential comment That would save me almost 30% of the rep price by not upgrading the DW...
Victoria Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Catalogue-worthy shot! Pix, thanks for this quick but very informative review. Sometimes, one just wants to know the "tells" in a rep watch, without having to read paragraphs (does that sound ungrateful? Yes, but I hope people know what I mean!). Your 1-2-3 tells were very important. And one should take care to watch out for the hands size. Thanks for the round-up of other links too!

Interesting indeed!!! I'll have to track down that promotional video. Does that piece also have the shorter hands? This would tend explain how these artifacts (DW font and hand length) came about in the rep... if such a beast does in fact exist then I would have to believe the sample used to generate the rep was one of those (and a rare specimen to boot )

Victoria, actually I like to share my experience by reviewing more in detail... But that's valid for unknown reps (typically my field, except these days) . For the most known, I feel that there are treasures of information and very detailed reviews already. I don't really see what I can bring as a contribution in these cases. Therefore the small pictorials and a few comments. I'm glad you liked it.
Pix Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Here's the movie chrgod mentionned. Minute 2:23
PAMman Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Excellent photos of a great watch. This is one of the best reps and together with the GST Ti chrono and the 3717 makes a great IWC hat-trick.
lanikai Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 AWESOME.... AWESOME............ AWESOME ......... AND FINALLY.....MO AWESOME thanx Pix for the pics
maxmilian Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 It is truly one of the best. here is mine with jakubs AR
Pix Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Posted March 29, 2008 Just installed the nylon strap. That gives the Ingie a really different look...which I do love. The deployment clasp is very smart too. Wish I could get the gen one...
FxrAndy Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 Going to link this into mine, Pix your Pix are perfect!
FxrAndy Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 PS where did you get the strap and deployant from??????
Pix Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Posted March 29, 2008 Thx Andy. I bought it from Trevor for 50 dollars shipped... The best deal around.
