IWC 2013 Ingenieur

Picked this up yesterday at the IWC boutique in Beverly Hills. I had posted a "which one" thread a few days ago and appreciate all the opinions, thank you very much. I'm very impressed with the watch, it's comfortable, accurate, and finished quite nicely. I wanted a slightly under the radar watch for traveling, I do a lot of walking and sometimes end up in iffy neighborhoods so the less bling the better. Here are a few pictures.

Awesome! I have been considering one of these new models but cannot decide between the white and black dials. Looks great on your wrist, congrats!!

I really like the new Ingenieurs and might have to add one with a black dial.

Congrats.

I still have a soft spot for the older 3227 but that white dial is really nice!

That is a nice one. The new version black dial is flat black without any texture, still looks good if you want a black dial. From limited reading I think the original had a black dial.

That's a great looking watch. I like the white dial. I wish you could rent watches - something cheaper than buying and reselling later.

There's always the 3228 if you want a white dial, assuming you can stand the see through back on an Inge.

That's really a nice piece. Very classic and definitely under the radar. Like the white dial as well gives it a very clean look.
