3227-01 and 3227-12....3228-01
There seems no love for 3227....many have owned and sold off. It’s as heavy as a Rolex PT but cost lesser.... It has a lot of size on the wrist....it’s the weight that puts collector off? Or the boring edges? In-house movements 3227-01 3227-12 (1 of 200.)...
It's a nice watch...but I thought there was a controversy about in house movement.
there movement is somewhat similar to the 7750 although IWC did do a lot of changes. IWC claimed it was entirely in house but issue remains and I believe that may have contributed to the lack of popularity. At the same time the other big watches were popu...
The 3227 was on my radar when it launched. But way too big and heavy for my puny wrist
The 3228 wears better but it has display caseback, sacrifices anti magnetic cover, so it is not really an Ingenieur. IMO the best ingenieur is still the original SL 1832 aka Jumbo, then Ingenieur SL of 80's and 90's, followed by the 3239 (40 mm). They fea...

Only it is very heavy and thick.
I red your sad story about the IWC Inginieur
Why do we not love this watch? Some replied it is bulky and heavy. The model name: Everybody want to be an ingenieur or secret agent.... That is not why the watch selling bad. For me, an ingenieur is an unknown watch. It is not ugly. So what are more reas...
It’s not sad at all. When nobody is collecting...that where we find gem of our likes. If everyone likes what you want to collect.....it will be flipped and sky high like a nautilus... it’s the craft or status telling? You decide. I go for the era specific
It’s like omega - the history, the 1957.....so lovely.... IWC needs to move on with unique history....
I owned a 3227 for years and loved it but...
It was head heavy and I could never get the proper fit with the bracelet (even with a half link), so the watch tended to flop around when I wore it and it was not that comfortable. I bought the IWC Kevlar strap to try and fix the issue but I much preferre...
