    I know not everyone appreciates this model.......but I do :thumbright: (but then I am biased)
    It is a great looker, even if it isn't full of pig iron :wink:

    Love the Ingenieur, but find them too big for my puny wrists - and the midsize at 34mm is too small!

    How about something in the middle, IWC?

    I to would like a "sensible size" IWC Inge. 36 - 38 mm would be just right.

    I'm a fan of these also! The Mark XII and Mark XV are also v.nice. I think the former is 36mm and the latter 38mm and I have the Mark XVI down as 39mm.
    Notice a trend??

    Re: I W C - mmmmmm

    Many thanks chaps, yes they have a certain 'Teutonic' quality feel - and honestly, although I also have AP, VCs and not least Blancpains, the IWC range seems definitely more 'wear me every day' .... :wink:
    WHY did I let my 3536-1 go :cry:

    The 3703 Amalfi I agree it's up there with JLC/VC in finish, gorgeous porcelain dial.
    See last one at Antiquorum in Geneva knocked down at 14,400 SFR :shock:
    Cheers, Peter

    funny how IWC fans hardly ever stop at one watch, began last year with none, then ended the year with a 3717 and Mark XV.

    Did they tell you it would be that long before it went away?

    Thanks Peter, it is great on the strap but I like to have the option to swap, so I had to get a bracelet - not cheap, but had to be done :)
    As far as I know, the bracelet (which is also for the Big Inge) isn't an option, but is available on request, reference IWA26856.

    Really beautiful watches there. Wish I could afford an IWC, they really are very classy.
