I really like this watch and especially the Laureus version. I hope that a factory will make a first version and V6f will make a version 2.

I think I prefer the 3227 (no CGs).

The 3227 looks closer to the original genta design.

3227 was repped sometime ago but is now discontinued.

3239 vs 3227

The Ingenieur series looks super slick on the wrist!! I love the kevlar strap versions too.

I almost pulled the trigger on this on this rep a while back but the DWO looks way off I couldn't find any good feedback on them in the forums. We def need some good Ingenieur reps!!!

I was extremely excited when I saw the link you provided, only to be super disappointed with the false alarm.
haha sorry for that. It's ingenieur but different model. What I meant is that is the best ingenieur available...

But in all honesty, it does not feel like a $10k watch.
The microadjustment clasp is pure crap. Equivalent of those glidelocks from long ago that just slides whenever it wants to.
Crown has no definition. Rounded off like some cheap mold off of a mold off of a mold. Wife saw it and was surprised that i had gotten an nixon or them diesel watches and i cant really blame her. At first glimpse, it definitely does not have that whoaa nice watchh factor.
Gmt hand turns w the minutes. The hour jumps forward and back but with that u lose the quick date adjustment.
Dial is pretty nice. Very light silvery almost white with a slight glistening.
Very shiny watch. Almost too shiny. Super heavy. And honestly feels too big almost for a 43mm. Maybe i had gotten too used to the rolex sizes.
went for it for the genta factor but royal oak and the nautilus are definitely better examples of his work.

What do u guys think.
Too big? Too flashy?

It looks stunning to me but I understand if you say it wears bigger than you thought, it's the reason why I never fell in love with the 3227 Ingy.
That said, it looks very well on your wrist, you ll get used to your new watch "presence" soon enough
Wear it well!
