First Impression/ The Case
When UK perfect replica IWC announced the latest Ingenieur during Watches and Wonders 2023, I literally drooled all over the Press Release photos. I have always been a fan of the Gerald Genta and IWC’s Ingenieur. It is one of the nicest and more underrated Genta watch that is available in the market. However, it wasn’t the first Ingenieur variant. The Ingenieur watch was first released in 1955 and Genta’s Ingenieur SL was only born in 1976 where the godfather of the integrated bracelet sports watch added his own flavour in it. That is the Ingenieur that inspired this current generation.
The latest iteration of the Ingenieur gives the iconic paypal fake watches an updated looks and masculine vibe. The case and bracelet are both in stainless steel. Partly due to the short lugs on the case (to accommodate the integrated bracelet). The finishing of the case has the signature exposed screws on the dial, in this case 5 screws secure the round bezel to the case. The sides of the bezel are chamfered and polished, while the top carries a circular graining.
The 40mm diameter site replica watches fit well on my 6.25mm wrist partly due to the short lugs on the case (to accommodate the integrated bracelet).
The Dial
Continuing the language of the current range of Ingenieur, the latest blue dial features the “grid” structure – lines and squares that was “frappé” onto a soft iron base. The new blue colour-way is then coated on the dial by physical vapour deposition (PVD).
The “frappé” dial makes an interesting texture which is very attractive. The rhodium-plated baton hands and applied metal markers are all filled with Super-LumiNova® luminescent to ensure that even in the darkest night, the Swiss copy watches would still illuminate to tell us the time.
The movement
Powering the rhodium-plated baton hands is the IWC-Manufactured 32111 caliber. It is a self-winding automatic movement which features a double pawl winding system. The double pawl winding system is part of the IWC Pellaton winding system that was invented by UK best fake IWC watches mater Albert Pellaton in the late 1940s. Basically, it features two pawls, one which pulls the wheel and the other glides over it until the roles are reversed. This winding system is beneficial to the wearer as it can use the smallest movements of the rotor in either direction to wind the mainspring to build up to a power reserve of 120 hours.
The movement is being shielded from the effects of magnetic fields by a soft-iron inner case which is also present in the original Ingeniuer SL. Though high quality copy IWC does not specify the antimagnetic levels the watch is able to withstand, we think this will still be a very useful feature.
The Bracelet
Wrapping the watch around our wrist is the integrated H-link bracelet with butterfly folding clasp. Interesting clasp, me thinks. Why not the micro-adjustable deployant clasp that comes with other online replica IWC watches. In this case, possibly to retain the handsome clean lines of original.
This H-link bracelet is comfortable around the wrist, when fitted correctly, the top fake watches‘ hugs the wrist like it meant to be.
Concluding Thoughts
The UK cheap super clone IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 with a blue dial is still very much a watch I would drool over. The history that it has with Gerald Genta and the gorgeous navy blue dial really hit every single soft spot for me.
However, there are some parts that perhaps it could be done better. One of which is that the anti-magnetism rating is omitted. Yes we know that there is a soft iron core protecting the movement but if it can be quantified, I am very sure they will attract more individuals who are in need of watches that withstand magnetism, or just like the idea…even as a flex. After all, competitors like those from Omega proudly wear the antimagnetic specifications on their sleeve. And indeed shop replica IWC used to certify this specification. Like in their Ingenieur Ref. 3508.
All in all, despite my little nitpicks, I feel that it will be a great for many who is looking for a one and done timepiece due to the versatile looks and the sturdiness of the watch as a whole. All in all, great job buy fake IWC Schaffhausen!
