Watch Ya Wearing
- Thread starter frank85
- Start date
I've been making a habit of wearing this one lately......
cant go wrong with iwc (international watch company).
most importantly, cant go wrong with an ingeniur,
this watch is part of a special group of watches designed to resist extreme electromagnetic conditions, the 4 most famous of this group are the Omega Railmaster, the Ball Watch Co Engineer, the Rolex Millgause and the IWC Ingenuir,
this is done by putting a faraday cage between the case and the movement to improve resistance to magnetic and electrical fields,
its an amazing watch and i would love to have one,
Which year is this one from? Nice watch, even though it is on a NATO
It's from '78. Here's the look without the NATO- but the strap is super comfortable and a nice change of pace. (And very stealthy, too.)
Taking a ride to the mountains today, so I'm wearing this one.
This guy today, upgrade coming monday!!
This one yesterday and today.
How long does it take to get used to no markers?
Something casual under the racing suit....

1953 Rolex Oyster Perpetual stainless and gold. It was a trade-in at a jewelry store when I purchased it for $250 in 1977. I've used it for daily wear ever since, and it's still accurate to about 15 seconds / month. I have it serviced every 3 - 4 years (and the servicing now costs significantly more than I paid for the watch).
What Aprillia is that? Pretty!Something casual under the racing suit....

It is still a beautiful watch!
Joel, is that the same watch you wear in the video ?
You have a good eye! GG designed the Jumbo Ingenieur back in the 1980s and this more recent model carries a lot of the same DNA.

Stupid question: What does "perpetual" refer to?

Yes.
