Hey Steve! I'm not really a chrono guy, but I like that first one.  They both have a little RO look to the case. |

Hi steve.. love the IWC ingenieur.. this is one of the watches along with the rolex sub, omega speedmaster pro and pp calvatra that i would call a classic. This particular version has supposedly an inhouse IWC mechanism , although they have designed it and outsourced it to ETA. I actually like the none chrono version, and the finishing on this watch is amazing.. have seen one in person and it is a really great watch.
I certainly think that it is a worthy competitor to the exp.1 in WIS eyes. Dont know much about the chrono.. but i would go for the none chrono version. Good to see you posting here again!

Steve...even if your wife decides to be "cheap" and not go for the chrono, I think you'll still have a merry Christmas. Did you break out the Daytona yet, or is that next month?  |

I gotta say the chrono looks pretty sweet. Think I'd go for that one if I had a choice.

Well ! I know it's one of these don't know which one though, which one to you guys prefer? steve I would in this particular case not hesitate a second ... and take the NON Chrono one !! even if I am a chronograph guy an IWC "Ingenieur" has never been a chronograph ... and should not be ... Here is my vintage one from the late 50s  with its wonderfull 8521 pellaton movement  cheers JM |

Steve,
I really like the clean look of the non chrono, but either one would be a great chioce, very very nice watches.

hi mamas, you wouldn't believe how many times i've changed my mind between the two, i liken the automatic (non chrono) to a Seadweller , a real tool within the IWC lineup and as you say the first in house movement, but I love the chrono design/face .
sam its our anniversary on monday 19th , wrist shots to follow!
