Actually not too bad
Pretty good for £500...

As a BB owner, I like it -but too big for me!
Great homage ...love it without the Snow Flake hands!
Mineral glass and non swiss movement puts me of at that price.
Apart from the Logo, I like the design. Not quite a BB though.

The movement is a Miyota 8215 or a clone... That makes the watch ridiculously overpriced at £500.
Oh, and lets not forget that they have used mineral crystal rather than sapphire. Plus 100m water resistance is rather pathetic for a dive (style) watch.
If they had a Miyota 9100 or Seiko 6R15/NE15, higher water resistance and used sapphire crystal that would justify the price a lot more. As a point of comparison, Steinhart offers a bronze diver for £390 - with an ETA 2824, sapphire crystal and proper 300m water resistance.
Ingersoll isn't some microbrand that high higher costs so needs to raise prices either!
Isn’t Ingersoll one of those brands which used to be great, then the name was bought by some huge conglomerate and now they churn out tatty rubbish with the name on the dial? Like Blaupunkt for example?

That seems seriously overpriced for what it is...

It's quite a lot of money for what it is, like the design though.
I saw one in my local watch store. They look nicely balanced but really feel cheap
They do a great Mickey mouse anniversary watch but that too is 500 gbp
It feels like it should be under 200
That looks way nicer than I expected when clicking on the link.
Sadly for me, the Ingersoll name is tarnished for ever by dodgy consumer electronics of the 80s.
£300 today, using the code BLACKFRIDAY40 at checkout.
The Christopher Ward 60 Trident Bronze, although far for me to be a fan of the brand, seems a lot more "value" for money especially if you find a gently used one, I've just read one review couple of weeks ago the the WUS forums, and it definitely looks far superior in finish to this, as well as its powered by a more "proper" movement, the Miyota in this Ingersoll can be found in <50$ watches on the bay, not to mention the crystal as well on this is mineral...so probably costing them 20-30$ to produce a watch and selling it for $700...not kosher at all.
That's actually quite nicely done for an homage. I had an Ingersoll as my first analogue watch when I was young. Thought they had disappeared years ago.
Nice looking, the movement though...
