Rxus Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 I had already seen some pics of this model going around a while back. But never followed up on them> I like it, but prefer it on an SS bracelet. Also this looks to be a rough preview model.
mwee Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 The front looks pretty good. However, is that the caseback? I hope not cause its really terrible!
bosk Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 The front looks pretty good. However, is that the caseback? I hope not cause its really terrible! I've been waiting awhile for this one...the prototype was shown on another site a few months ago. Ceramic needs a tad smoother maybe. I'm impressed that they added ceramic to the caseback too, albeit totally different from the gen.

I'm impressed that they added ceramic to the caseback too, albeit totally different from the gen. Its a pity though and even if they solved all the inaccuracies, they can't do much on the movement. for that, I am going to only buy closed caseback watches from now on!
MADRED7 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 And one thing they screwed up as well for sure .... THE SIZE.....it should be 44mm but I fear they used the standard 42mm size-machining Theo P.S.: DANI....your posts are simply the best, so informativ!
Guest nikos1978 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 the size of genuine is 46mm my friend
Samurai Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Saw this one....not my cuppa tea....looks too crude
FxrAndy Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Hmmmmm my thoughts gen rep gen (as if i need to say) errrrrr rep! Well i am not sure about the sizes as the IWC site says 44mm and the standard SS ingy is 42.5 i experct the rep is using the case from the old ingy with just a ceramic bezel The markers on the rep at 12 o clock are not straight and the tab above them is too long The 60 and 30 are too thin, need to be a lot bolder The seconds hand looks a bit too short Less said about the case back the better but as long as it is on you wrist, ok The strap should have black stiching Date font, Calling Lello. I dont think they could have printed it thinner! So alot of faults there! what do you all think?
DemonSlayer Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 If this watch is anywhere near the $400 range, I'm not impressed.
FxrAndy Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 if it is over the $200 im am not impressed unless the case size is actualy right?
ammandel Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Aren't all new reps $300 or more now as a rule? Seems it..
bosk Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Aren't all new reps $300 or more now as a rule? Seems it.. Factory was listing the prototype as 43 mm.
chad Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Jesus guys.... I hope you notice the 12 completely crooked on those pics.
Dani Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Theo P.S.: DANI....your posts are simply the best, so informativ! why ad anything, when i have nothing good to say
sam_tgg Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 the size of genuine is 46mm my friend Not. that is the Big Ingy. Not the ceramic Big Ingy: 45,5 mm Ingy Automatic (ceramic): 44mm Ref. IW323401
jfreeman420 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I am surprised they didn't do better with this watch considering all of the previous IWC's were pretty spot on. I was looking forward to this watch, but didn't realize it had a nylon strap. I would prefer rubber or SS.

MADRED7 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Now Josh put up more info: Size: 44mm stated....so seems correct Price: 2XX$ stated....so seems reasonably
