V7 will release Ingenieur!

[THXuk]

I wonder if the new GH that popped up this week will fix the concerns raised, or will this be lower quality than the V7?




GH· The FACTORY IWC Automatic 40 Quick Release Edition has been fully upgraded to create the highest version engineer on the market, breaking through the multi-layer technical bottleneck and striving for perfection!
1⃣️ Upgrade the original quick-release strap device, the middle link of the strap is made of frosted steel band and medium pearl gloss, which synchronizes the details of the original.
2⃣️ solves the problem of thickness, using the original imported 9015 to 32111 automatic mechanical movement with built-in anti-magnetic soft iron device to protect the watch from magnetic interference, 40mm diameter, thickness 10.8mm, 45.7mm lug longitudinal spacing is consistent with the genuine product.
3⃣️The dial check design has also been improved in all aspects, and then galvanized after stamping, and the green disc (blue-green) dial can show different colors in different lights!
4⃣️ Each case back is equipped with an independent code, one table and one code!

Apparently, according to the pics above, they mixed the previous Ingy release with the latest v2.
Doesn't look very promising but fingers crossed

When even the promo pics show crooked indexes and date windows, I don't expect a high quality.

 

[newest dude on the forum]

FYI, have a screw coming from my dealer. So that's good at least

 

[Valaj]

Yes, don't wear it at all, this thing falls off bit by bit..

I really hope someone makes custom leather straps for these. I found some for the older Ingenieurs but the lug sizes are totally different.

Small update - as expected it was leaking around the tube / crown - by replacing the gasket on the tube and adding a new one to the bottom of the crown and greasing them, it easily passed 4 bar test. I also repalced the caseback gasket with a good quality one.

hey man! can you tell me which sizes you used for each part? looking to seal mine aswell.

Oh, not sure, i have sets with different gaskets for both tubes as well as for caseback. I picked the right sizes visually - caseback is easy fit. With the tube it was a bit of try and test as it should be both tight as well as the crown needs to fit onto the tube.
And the o-ring inside the crown was completely missing, so I added it there

they fixed their previous flaws, at least that's good

Except for the grooves between IWC and SCHAFFHAUSEN where it should be smooth.

There are improvements for sure but to be honest I have no trust in a factory that release 2 different Ingy versions with the same case and had released the v1 with obvious inaccuracies (thick bezel, date wheel, bracelet with wrong resizing system).

They are obviously not very quality/detail oriented and that's too bad for me because I would love to see a good Ingy in titanium.

Why bothering with this low-level when we have v7f?

Because they have a blue sunburst dial which looks stunning and V7f has obviously problems too.
Losing srews, broken clasps, maybe more to come.

 

[b1st3kka]

Let' see what they can do then, but I do not know if those problems are so common.. mine has been rock solid so far

I am also a fan of that Laureus dial but the blue sunburst dial is a completely different Ingy ref..
Totally inaccurate rep watch based on the pics above.

If you don't care about accuracy to gen it's a good looking watch but if you care..well...it's a big no go.

I am totally aware of that fact, but since this business is all about fake watches, I might as well fake it completely with a blue sunburst dial.
And if people in the bus or train ask me about the reference of my beautiful IWC Ing, I will tell them that it is tailormade just for me.
One of a kind.

Makes sense to me, I have "built up" my own SMP Seamaster mixing (gen) parts of difference references. It's a fantasy watch but for me it takes the best of different refs.
I can live with that, some people just can't.

People in the "watch" world/horology view a "custom" watch with shocked eyes, "oh how dare you ruin it! fake! not original!".

The majority of the population will shrug and say wow, cool watch, and continue on.

"oh how dare you ruin it! fake! not original!"

In this case it´s to fake a fake.

The majority of the population will shrug and say wow, cool watch, and continue on.

The majority of the population will not even realize that it could be an IWC Ing, because freaks like us, who will know, are just a very smal fraction of the population.
There are 8 Billion idiots out there, but this forum has only around 100k members (?).

Late to the party as usual but loving this black V7. I breifly had an aqua GH previously that was bloody awful...
