Always at the look out for the perfect 666. I think I found it. Should be here mid next week. Super exited!
Guilt black dial, perfect condition and Gay Frères bracelet. Coming in next week. More to follow.

Yes I’m sure it will have a lot to tell. And to find it in this condition! A little bit like us right? Ageing with grace🤣

Aaah, how I miss the good old days when Ingenieur was such classic, no non-sense watch.

Handsome, rugged, and has character. All the way from 666 to the 3239, except those big, monstrous Ingenieur with sapphire caseback + without anti magnetic properties. The current Ingenieur is a disaster IMHO, and in very due to be replaced. Hopefully thi... 

Yes you’re right. What happened?

The core DNA of an ingenieur and ⚡️symbol is to be anti-magnetic! It’s almost like if Rolex issued a Milgauss that wasn’t anti-magnetic. What were they thinking? Naaaaaa, nobody will Notice?

Unfortunately, according to last year's interview of Christian Knoop, IWC product manager...

He explicitly said that IWC currently does not have intention to revivethe Ingenieur SL or Genta's 70s style. They would rather come up with something "new" . Sad. So our only hope is to get vintage Ingenieurs or go for other brands.

Was it common to have an 666 Ingenieur
