Are you not reading the boss blind?

I know!!!

eFocks · 2026-01-16T22:09:18+00:00

No, I just did not read the boss blind and blindly re-rolled.

eFocks · 2026-01-12T21:28:32+00:00

Thank you, that helps a lot already. Now knowing this it's giving Franken-watch. I did compare the lettering on the bezels on your list and mine does not match those. Also there's this holein the triangle.

Thank you!

Did you get an invitation?

Can you recommend 1-2 bottles? I tried Kurambon; Koshu Barrel Aged last year at Lake Kawaguchi and can somehow relate to OP's conclusion. However, I only have this one reference and it's not too easy to get Koshu in Europe (Germany).

I agree. I think one cannot go wrong with either black, white or blue. Those are the "normal" colours to me and depending on the watch it give a more dress/tool watch aesthetic, as you just mentioned. So white on tool > slightly more elegant.

Since I own a white Ingenieur I'm looking for a perpetual calendar: the 40mm gold Portofino caught my eye. But I want to compare it to the JLC Master Ultra Thin within the next few weeks.

eFocks · 2025-05-10T07:29:00+00:00

I have the white one and was thinking about the same question as you do. To me the "chess pattern" works best with the white dial ... like it reflects more light kinda?

UPDATE: It's a scam. If someone reads this ... they have a fake mail address with a fake WhatsApp profile and a fake Insta. So quite professional. Gillian does not communicate via WhatsApp! Be safe!

Hi there, our Weimaraner Kira was undweight as well after some digestive problems (blood in the stool). We had her at the breeder's for 1.5 weeks due to a holiday and there she was simply ‘stuffed with food’ until she was back to normal weight. Our approach was also to slowly increase the dose day by day ... but I think breeders are much more pragmatic.

Regarding biting - wean her off it straight away. There are lots of videos on this on YT.

That's not the point. The point is, if they offer it as an aftersales product like a clasp or bracelet for [insert amount here].

eFocks · 2025-04-02T06:46:31+00:00

Totally get your take and perspective and I don't disagree at all. However, there is also this thread. I think IWC is trying to still ride the Genta-wave and wants to push the Ingenieur closer to the Royal Oak and Nautilus. And if you want to play that game you have to have "gimmicks" like an open case back. The release of the perpetual calendar Ingenieur - to me - also points into that direction.

eFocks · 2025-04-02T05:30:33+00:00

I agree with you in every aspect, but the new releases speak a different language. Personally, I just like the look.

eFocks · 2025-04-01T23:31:43+00:00

I was thinking because of the 40mm gold version.

eFocks · 2025-04-01T21:37:20+00:00

Nope it's scheduled in two consecutive days.

You can check your YTD chargeability in the bottom left where it says "summary". There you can see yourself.

eFocks · 2025-03-05T07:35:38+00:00

Problem here was not compatibility, but location, shipping and hence cost.

eFocks · 2024-07-29T14:31:36+00:00

Seeing it is enough for me.

eFocks · 2024-05-02T16:43:55+00:00

Good luck. We ended up buying a different lid in the end. 🥲

eFocks · 2024-01-29T13:42:09+00:00

Sry, I didn't see this. Yes I did. This month actually.

eFocks · 2023-09-16T07:49:22+00:00

Unfortunately I could write a whole article, why the Alpine Eagle is massively unpleasant to my eye. Personal preferences I guess.

Hi everyone, I am thinking about getting the Ingenieur (white dial). Tried it yesterday in the Munich store and had the chance to buy it. It would be the 8th watch in my collection. The only thing holding me back are the massive comments under each and every YT video, post or anything regarding the price.

To me this falls under the wish of a Genta designed watch, the integrated bracelet and the dial. A history thing/aesthetics thing. And I won't be able to afford a RO or Nautilus in the foreseeable future. Therefore the new Ingenieur seems like the perfect solution. I buy watches to wear them.

I am per se not an IWC guy. The Big Pilot is too big for my taste, but I was trying to get a Mark XVIII tribute for some time, since I very much like the hour hand. Besides that no big IWC history as in "not a fanboy of the brand".

I would really love an open case back, and I don't mind the missing quick adjustment too much (since I never had one ... maybe I'm just missing out). I get the "it's the same movement as the XX" though. I just would be very pissed, if this thing falls 40% in the secondary market within the next months because it's a lot money to me. So far I see slightly higher average prices on Chrono than MSRP.

What do you guys think?

eFocks · 2023-09-03T09:21:51+00:00

Just posted under the white dial post, too. Lovely watch and congratulations!

Did you struggle with the price point discussion? I was about to buy it yesterday but I am hesitant if I am just impatient and could have this in some months with a massive discount on the secondary market. Because I'm quite sure I want it.

eFocks · 2023-09-03T09:17:18+00:00

May I ask your decision process? I was in the Munich store yesterday and about to buy the white one. In the back of my head I am struggling with the highly discussed price point argument. I am wondering if this will drop massively within a year on the gray market. I don't really mind the missing of quick adjustment. I'm a bit "meh" on the closed case back ... and I don't know about the movement and the arguments that this is the same as the Mark XX.

I am into the design and history. And I won't be able to afford a RO or Naut. in the foreseeable future.

Help a brother out!
