    I hate you IWC!

    Why, oh why, do you have to release a Titanium Ingenieur with a titanium bracelet? I thought I was done buying IWC with titanium bracelet years ago. And with Carbon Fiber dial no less? Don't they know folks like me have a soft-spot for these kinds of watches, and will fall for these traps easily?

    Not only that, but they had to put another piece of Carbon Fiber on the back of the watch--suppposedly a piece taken out from a real car! They don't know stories like these could get people like me into serious trouble?

    With an in-house flyback-chronograph movement, rubber-coated crown and crown-protector, plus a length-adjustable titanium bracelet... IWC might just as well stab us right in the heart for a quicker death!

    oh, oh, how could a mere mortal like me resist these kinds of temptation? I could do nothing but to bring it home...

    (Please, IWC, I beg you, please don't do it again too soon, or else some of us might be in serious trouble--again!)

    Me and my Hammie say hi.

    Super watch, congratulations! Somehow I missed it having a titanium case and bracelet, and the latter having a micro adjustment feature, thank you for pointing this out: I already liked the watch, now I like it even more! The carbon fibre dial makes it look very professional and mature, I guess this is a watch to have, enjoy wearing it!

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Very nice, congrats. Love the look of the carbon fibre dial and the fact it has a piece of the race car in there.

    I forgot to put a viewer-discretion advice in the beginning of my post. If my post causes any one to feel uncomfortable, and want to rush out to do something stupid like buying another watch, getting another bracelet, or simply just getting a sip of whatever champaign/juice/water that they serve (or even just another taste of their chocolate) for a quick fix...

    ...remember it is not my fault. It's all IWC's.

    Now, if you could excuse me, I would need to return to my hypnotherapy, and go check out their catalog to remind myself what not to get...

    aaargh

    A beautiful Ingy, enjoy!
    (And a very bad joke from IWC that by today almost every watch family has the micro-adjust clasp on the bracelet, with the exception of just the Aquatimers... :( - I have a similar sweet spot for the AT chrono 3768 but will not bring her home without that newest clasp version...)

    Titanium and carbon fibre - an unbeatable combination! Congrats on a very cool watch Kelvin.

    and I hate you Kelvin for posting this wonderful timepiece...

    I also hate that the fact I don't own one too.

    Wear in great health and thanks for sharing the hate (or rather love)! :)

    Kelvin, t't t t ...such a negative word that "HATE". Let me assure you, that the real emotion is probably closer to "distinctly dislike" - what is true is that watches like this begin to introduce a true Love/Hate Relationship between me and my bank manager :~)

    But yes, I can understand your hatred :~)

    Now, Alan too needs to go out and spend more money.

    Great watch, and thank you ever so much for sharing your own "love / hate" relationship with us here - we just love to see your hatred grow!
