IWC Ingenieur Laureus ?

[martinov17]

Hi to all

Any suggestions for the best deal for IWC ingenieur laureus sport for good foundation ?
Which Trusted dealer ? Asian or swiss ETA ... ?

Thanks

All dealers can get them. Ask anyone, but if you need a recommendation, Torobravos, Puretime, Trevor, Sora, etc.

I'd say Asian ETA, as the Swiss ones are very expensive, and you don't necessarily get a swiss movement inside.

These are awesome, so don't worry about it. I love mine. They run for about 320 USD.

Thanks for quick answer
That's what I thought about swiss eta as well.
What is your experience with this IWC ?

Be aware that, as of a few days ago, the Asian ETA version is hard to find, as the factory that makes the rep movement seems to have had a large order to fill for another project. Hopefully these will become available again in the near future though, as I want one too!

Is it worth to pay 500+ for ETA ?

 

[cwazy1]

i personally don't think ETA is worth it. some people do though, so its up to you

People here will mostly stay with asian copy, and then the difference in paying for the swiss eta with a little bit of top-up
u can get away that rep croc strap and get the real aftermarket croc strap

 

[martinov17]

Agree.
I read on others forums that some of asian clones just stop working after a while.
Maybe thats some isolated case, hope that is not common issue.

one more thing,
Does anyone had experience with shipment to EU via Spain ?
One of the TD ( Trevor ) offered me this way. Is it same like via UK ?
thanks.

No personal experience but I heared about this triangle shipping. Some people say it's a bit long in time, about 4 weeks. That's too much! Triangle via UK from InTime/Ryan e.g. lasts 8-10 days door to door China/Germany in my last 2 orders.

so far mine is really good! no problems! but my 3 hour marker is abit crooked. oh well.

Does anyone know if any TD have any V2's around? I am struggling to find one...

Going back to the movement issue I have had more problems in the last couple of years with "Swiss" ETAs than with the clones, the only way I will buy the "Swiss" marketed version is if it is the only movement option.

probably because there is no V2.
