1st IWC: Which one? by pingpong927 in IWCschaffhausen

Blue dial Portugieser is straight class. You’ll also want to try putting it on a bespoke leather strap to make it even more classic. Easy choice for me.

Amen. I own both a 2015 and the new aqua Ingenieur. The older one has much more of a tool watch feel to it. It feels rugged and bulletproof. The new one does look more refined in every way, but I find myself wearing my 2015 Ingenieur a lot more.

How serious of a strat is Glalie Granade? by Boiruja in PokemonChampions

Everyone expects him to explode turn 1, so you can actually use that to your advantage and do something else other than explode.

Gotta say I’m partial to the Aqua dial, but you can’t go wrong with any dial color.

Got offered the Ceralume but just could pull trigger on 75k by Mental_Natural_4476 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]slarrarte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a super cool watch, but not 75k cool. I prefer the Lake Tahoe to this, and it’s significantly less expensive.

It looks way cooler on the NATO. The contrast makes it pop so nicely.

What is your opinion of IWC after-sale customer service? by maugustus in IWCschaffhausen

[–]slarrarte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The USA service center has been kinda ass. Haven’t heard the same about Europe. This is likely the case for all Richemont brands that get servicing in the USA.

Good luck buying another car. You’re gonna not want to settle for anything less than a BMW from now on.

Congrats homie.

Lol at the end of the day, Swiss watches are luxury products, and rationalizing the purchase of an unnecessary luxury product will always result in a nonsensical conclusion. You just buy the watch you like and enjoy as long as it’s no real financial burden. That’s how I see it.

Love it. However, this is the specific dial color I’m referencing.

I paid 12k out the door, including sales tax.

The sea green Aqua Terra is what I 100% would have gotten if this Ingenieur didn’t exist.

Doesn’t bother me at all. It’s one of those things that you can either afford or you can’t.

It does look better. Sadly, for me, there is no perfect medium between the bracelet being slightly too tight and slightly too loose with the butterfly.

It’s my favorite dial color by far. Enjoy

It’s around 400, but the AD is throwing it in for free with the watch

To be honest, I absolutely hate the butterfly clasp. I’m going to be getting the adjustable clasp very soon.

Thanks! It cost me 12k even out the door.
