Why no love for the IWC Vintage Ingenieur?

[psv]

I'll readily admit I've never tried one on in person yet, no AD never seem to have them in stock, but then again I haven't really heard anyone talk about them here on TRF either. Why no love?

The hands/style are a bit of an acquired taste, but the design is rather reserved and attractive IMO; the size good at 42.5mm; in-house movement; good pedigree/history; and it is water resistant to 120m thus it would make a good everyday beater.

Anyone ever owned or handles one? Thoughts and comments?
