IWC Ingenieur Mission Earth

[clew84]

Hi all,

I've been thinking about getting a larger watch for some time and this model, at 46mm, really catches my eye - great brand, in house movement, and sporty appearance. I just wanted to see from those who have owned one or have tried one on what the thoughts were. Most likely I'd be getting it on the rubber strap and possibly get the bracelet

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

So, not very popular then?

I dont own the watch personally however I really like it and I feel it is a versatile piece with the ability to wear the rubber or metal. It appears to wear well for 46mm and I was thinking about buying this watch but I am waiting to see if IWC expands their Ingenieur line of watche for 2013 or maybe even the Aquatimer. Good luck!

The black dial looks cool

The orange and blue one goods better online and in pictures.

Definitely the black one. As much as I'd like to try the white faced, limited edition Plastiki, not sure I want that as my first white faced watch.

The black one just looks tough.

Owned one in SS bracelet an added the strap for versatility. Loved the watch! It's a monster case, very sturdy, in-house caliber, great luminosity at night and as sturdy as it gets. Downside is that if you ever want to sell it you'll lose a ton of money. I ended up trading mine in conjunction with other pieces for an AP Diver as I couldn't sell it for months. I still would buy this watch again in the future.

not the most popular watch in the iwc line, thats why they dont hold their value, but that means u can get a pre owned one for a fab price.

The iwc big pilot and portuguese autos hold the most value in the iwc line
