chronomaster Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Though I undoubtedly have no need for it, I really want to grab a new Ingy or VCO (black face). Probably from Silix. My problem is that I'm unsure how great these really look when they're on. they look great in the case. However, I've seen pics of people with Ingy's and they look odd on the wrist. The VCO.. well.. there just arent many pics of people wearing them, period. I'm also toying with the idea of getting the double-ar titanium ingenieur. It's different... afterall.. I already have several nice stainless pieces. Anyone have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maas Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 IMO you should go for an ingy... SS band sizing on VCO is a real challenge sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I personally don't care for the Ingy design....much more of a VCO fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenacious_b Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 it's a no brainer. The Ingy is a staple in any respectable collection, and is far and away better quality than the VCO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shundi Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 2 for, 2 against.... maybe you should start a poll up top and keep wristshots in the body of the thread (you can edit your original post to do that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 There is a nice black face Ingy for sale in the watch sales. Dude just put it up today but I can't remember his name now!! Have a look in there, I'm pretty sure he said it was unworn and had just been serviced. Gotta be a good starting place. Have to say I'm an Ingy fan, but the VCO just has that "thing" about it,it oozes class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pobiga Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm wearing my Ingy in this period and it is a very nice piece! Have a look here to see more pics about it. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...;hl=pobiga+ingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maas Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have an ingy but i still lust some times after a VCO! The ingy is more every day the VCO a bit special days! +1... VCO has a flatter profile than the Ingy nut that is a metter of taste... And IMO Ingy has less flaw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I'm an Ingy fan, but the VCO just has that "thing" about it,it oozes class. Exactly--great watch for biz and biz-casual. Thanks for the pointer. By the time I found that thread, it was sold. Damn fanatics. Anyway, I saw some grumbling about the new VCO's build quality.. the strap in particular. Has that gotten better, or is it luck-of-the-draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 The VCO is a nice watch. I didn't particularly like mine, but I'd certainly recommend it as a nice watch to someone I'd also suggest a different dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ingy all the way. Read my test in my signature for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have both. The Ingy has more of a high tech/industrial feel, chunky and solid. The VCO is more elegant and nautical in inspiration, with a thinner, less obtrusive profile. For a while the VCO (white dial as pictured in a previous post) was the dressy watch in my collection, but has been largely replaced by a Royal Oak Jumbo (yet another Gerald Genta design) and Breitling Evo. I sometimes cool toward the Ingy's unconventional look when it sits in my watch box, but then fall in love all over again when I put it on my wrist. Both are great watches, but it depends on what you are looking for. As much as I appreciate it, my VCO has become one of my least worn watches and I may end up selling it. I have to vote for the Ingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronomaster Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks everyone for the pictures, links, and advice. I decided to go with the ingenieur. Not because the IWC won the poll by a landslide, but because I think the ingy is more flexible. .. and it's really grown on me over the past week or so. That, and I think the VCO looks better on older guys. That band is very regal and classy... I don't think I'm ready to rock that yet:) I'll post pics of the ingy when she arrives!
