..it s an IWC, and I don t like IWC. Their attitude towards complaining customers on their company forum is embarrassing. Furthermore, the design of most IWC s is too sterile for me. Like Audi cars. I bet a lot of IWC fans drive Audi cars ??However, the Ingenieur is an exception to this feeling. I saw and handled one today in Gerard s shop. An IWC Ingenieur ref. IW2337. A thick and solid watch, and one of the view watches I really like for having an integrated bracelet (as the AP Royal Oak and VC Overseas).Horloge Platform Nederland is selling this one New In Box (NIB) for 4640 Euro. If I had the money, and no problems with IWC s attitude, I would probably left the store today with a new watch.Photo by Horloge Platform Nederland.Some specifications (from their website):IWC Caliber 80110– Vibrations: 28 800/h / 4 Hz– Jewels: 28– Power-reserve: 44 h– Automatic movement with Pellaton winding system– Integrated shock-absorbing system– Date display with crown-activated rapid calendar advance– Hour and minute hands– Central seconds hand with stop function– Soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields of up to 80,000 A/m– Screw-in back– Screw-in crown– Luminous elements of hands and indices– IWC metal bracelet system with folding clasp– Sapphire glass coated on both sides– Water-resistant to 120 m
