A cracking post!
Very nice piece, Nilo. Quite a headscratcher for me. Watches like this should be a mainstay in their Ingenieur line. The new ones in that catalog are just too way out there for me.
Congrats and thanks! I follow your Zenith forum quite closely and hope you get the chance to get out there with the 2013 stuff and bring us some more news but through your practical and down-to-earth eyes 
Happy for you.

After pressing 3000 time the “Insert” button here ... 3K "club"
Team, First of all, I want to say a very warm thank you to this community that makes our hobby so interesting and fun, at the same time Pursuing integrity and perfection in an imperfect world . I arrived here long time ago (five-six years? I don't ...
Congratulations and thanks for revealing the details of the IWC
I love seeing inside watches, without incurring the stress of taking them apart and having to put them back together again. That makes me a hack watch repairman, but a willing voyeur Cheers Cazalea
I'm a watch voyeur too ...
But I prefer to see the pictures. I'm very stressed when my watchmaker is playing with a watch. I keep thinking "now he go to drop this tiny screw and ...". Cheers, Nilo
Wonderful post, Nilo!
Than you for this "Vintage" Ingenieur report and thank you for your contribution here! :) I fully agree with you about your perception of PuristS! That is why I started to post here. Huge congrats on your (first) 3K, my friend! Best Blomman PS. Here is a ...
Thank you Blomman ...
But keep going with your JLC. Otherwise, my 666 will never happen. Cheers, Nilo
Dear Nilo thank you for 3000 insertings
We all share similar unique feeling of joy and blessings that we have our little global Shagri-La. Thank you for all wonderful pictures and for not letting robbers put you down and made you endure with your crazy idea "Since then, no more watches , no mor...

... you produced to celebrate this milestone. I enjoy so much your posts and awesome photography, and I wish you will keep posting for many, many more K´s! I share your feelings for watches and for the Spirit of a true Purist! Receive my best cordial rega...
¡Muchas gracias Abel!
I need to spare a long weekend and pay a visit to Mi Buenos Aires Querida. ¡Saludos! Nilo
Congrats on the 3K club my friend...
It's great to know you and again thank you for some of the photography tips.... I'm still nowhere near your standard but I'm understanding more and more. I agree that this is the finest and friendliest site of any I know and I'm pleased to have found it t...
Thank you very much...
Andy, But your cat pics are much better than mine. Even considering that Noel has more charm. He. He. Cheers, Nilo
"Un grand merci"
Nicolas, Along those 3000 posts, your influence on my watch taste is noticeable. Before I arrived here, JLC was an unknown, Reverso was a ladies watch, UN, GP were not on my radar and Blancpain was ... some sort of French brand! How the quality time that ...
wonderful post and one the nicest IWC...
... in my book. Simple, strong and timeless watch. Congratulation and wear it in good health
I make your words mine.
That's what I was looking to define this watch: "Simple, strong and timeless." Thank you, Nilo
Thank you Ronald ...
And keep tracking the new Swatch. I want one ... Badly. Cheers, Nilo
Bravo Nilo...
The community is better off for your enthusiasm as a contributor and your effort as a moderator. Cheers, pplater.
Thank you Sir Pplater ...
Is a true shame that I don't have your legendary verve and sense of humor to do a famous Pplater class milestone post. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you Bernard ...
There are good buys and momentary good buys. Lets see where this Inge falls. Like I learned following your posts, time will tell. Cheers, Nilo
Congrats on your 3000th :-)
What a cool way to break in your 3000 :-), nice review. S
Thank you S.
I wish my wrist didn't played games. My plan was to do something better. Lets see what I can do on the next milestone. Cheers, Nilo
Congrats and Thanks
I always appreciate your contributions (especially your photos), and this post didn't let me down. I have the cousin (the blue Laureus edition) to your newly acquired Inge, and I love it as well. Thanks for all of the information that you gave, very inter...
Thank you Sancerre ...
Your Laureus was one of the sources of my inspiration. Is more of a brother Pythian a cousin. Cheers, Nilo
An excellent find Nilo!
And a wonderful post to mark your 3k. Milestone or not it's always a pleasure to read and to enjoy your outstanding photos! cheers fernando
Thank you Fernando ...
When I see your Panerai pics, I always regret to have meager wrist. Cheers, Nilo
Well done, Nilo!
On your 3000 posts, your consistently excellent photography, and this wonderful acquisition! All the best, and looking forward to many more posts, Gary
Thank you Mr. Macro ...
Your pics are much more realistic. I need to put more drama on my style. Cheers, Nilo
It is us who need to thank you, Nilo!
Because of your captivating photographs and always uplifting experiences. May these 3000 posts be only but a fraction of what is yet to come. Congrats on the Ingenieur! Cheers, Alex
I vividly recall your first posts on WS, Nilo . . .
. . . your singular photographic style is unmistakeable. Many, many thanks for everything you do for our site and our community. Art
Thank you Art ...
Warm thank you for your support and by the fact that you bring balance to the Purists. It was a shame that the Stones didn't performed "Beast of Burden". Cheers, Nilo
Ah, but they did play . . .
. . . Beast of Burden in Las Vegas, Nilo. "I'll walk for miles, my feet are hurting' . . . " :-)
Not bad ...
But I prefer the live version from the "Rarities". I have all Stones (and of course The Who) songs on my car iPod. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you for ...
Not helping my low cholesterol diet. I hope that one day we can share a Dim Sum meal. Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations Nilomis.....

and thanks for your great post and all your photos!! I do not even cared for that watch in the metal but your post makes it look like the most desirable IWC of all! Best Andreas
Thank you, Andreas ...
I'm glad that you liked my IWC. Who knows, one day you may fall in love with one. Cheers, Nilo
A cracking post!

... the amount to pay for a secondhand 205 GTI :-) ... . I always wondered whether you have the coolest watches or take the best pictures my friend :-) . Each watch you post here makes me long for an equal example, but i suspect your photographic skills a...
Thank you my Belgium friend ...
About my watches, you should notice that I flip watches more than my under pants!!! Its because I'm not a collector but a watch lover and I like to try a lot. About photo skills, they are trivial those days. Just read a little and shoot a lot. That's the ...
You did it in style ....
Congratulations on this milestone, Nilo, and what a fabulous way to mark it with a special watch and an informative post. You pick out many of the reasons that makes PuristS a special community to me too. Very pleased to share the time with you here. Look...
Congrats!
We are very lucky to have you amongst us! That's one of my favorite IWC models! :-) I guess my post should've been entitled "double congrats!" LOL! Cheers, my friend! Daos
Thank you very much, Daos
IWC, from time to time, hits the mark. This Inge is one, IMHO. Cheers, Nilo
Excellent way to celebrate
a new milestone, Congrats Nilo !! Thanks for such thorough post on your beloved IWC
Apologise Nilos for being late to the party.......
May I add my congratulations to you on both accounts :) The IWC, like you mentioned "flies under the radar & does what a watch should do" perfect on both accounts. I shall also start to use your words, when explaining to my wife, "Why I would like to ...
Thank you Tony ...
About the IWC, you are correct. About the excuse, try it. Sometimes it works. Cheers, Nilo
Howdy mate, late to the party with the congrats on both 3000 and the IWC
Further point to commonalities in watch movements...to be frank, for the regular range of watches by all brands...I, like you, do not care about potential ETA etc "influences". Taking a leaf from car industry...I drove a BMW 525 that used ZF gearbox that ...
Thank you Horo ...
Your logic is impeccable, as your taste. About gear boxes, you must try one from Audi. Cheers, Nilo
