V7 will release Ingenieur!

White is also solid, if only because there’s less going on with the dial to mess up. Though the gen white dial is really a sight to behold. It almost has an ivory feel to it.

Does anyone else with a nickel allergy get an allergic reaction when wearing the V7F Ingenieur? I had a white dial V7F that I ended up selling because I had an allergic reaction to it. Such a shame because I really like the dials from the Ingenieur line… I’ll wait and see if anyone ever makes the black ceramic version.
I have a VSF Datejust on Jubilee and PPF 5711 that I can wear fine, as well as some steel Seikos. Seems like only the V7F Ingenieur has given me issues out of the 14 or so reps I’ve purchased (some were on a rubber or leather strap though).

Sometimes a screw can come loose and maybe It blocks the gear..Just open the caseback and check if you canWe got the watch today but the second hands (and watch) is not moving. Winding and wearing on the arm for 8h now doesn't work.
Does anyone have that issue? It's the v2
Thanks for your help
Ugh, that’s awfully disappointing.We got the watch today but the second hands (and watch) is not moving. Winding and wearing on the arm for 8h now doesn't work.

First thing I did when I unpackaged mine was give it a shake and it started running. Doing this upon arrival was recommended by my TD at time of shipping it out. Said to contact them right away in case of any problem. Maybe you should report your issue promptly to your TD and get their advice.I think I’ve had adverse reactions to nickel before, but my V7F Ingy hasn’t been bothering me so far. Your experience seems concerning though. I see the case and bracelet material listed as being stainless steel 316F and according to Google, SST 316F contains 10-14% nickel. I wonder whether V7F’s case/bracelet supplier could possibly be using an alloy with a higher proportion of nickel. Beats me.

Nickel is expensive so using more nickel doesnt make sense if they're cheaping out on costs lol
It’s a good rep. Any TD can get you one for a decent price. If it were me, I’d go with something like a VSF submariner for my first. As good as it gets for a decent price.
Thank you @frumpdumpkin - i do own a gen 16233 DJ and a few other watches. Really just seem like a great entry piece, especially the aqua version. All I hear is great review. Any recommendations on a sub with the aluminium bezel?
Here’s my gen for comparison

I am looking forward to a green or blue dial but seems that I have to wait a bit longer for a v3/ vx.
This green dial looks a bit flat and the carvings are not deep enough, unlike the earlier dials (aqua).
Awful.
Like the blue dial they released previously.
I don't count any longer on a decent Ingy Ti from V7F...so many meaningless Rolex looking the same and no interest in such a beautiful and almost unique watch.
I am aware demand is what really counts for sales but it's still disappointing
