That F77 looks fantastic. I just wished it was a little bigger.

[@RicardoHawkes]

What size would you want Gorn?

[@Success_is_inevitable]

Absolutely!

The Ingeniur was a massive disappointment. I can't believe they paid off Mrs Genta to talk it up, when old Gerald would have been rolling in his grave. For IWC to say they brought back the Genta Ingenieur is absolute blasphemy. All they had to do is take Genta's work and fix up the lugs with what they have on the new one and that's it. But they screwed it up massively with the bezel indents being upside down, no "IWC" at 12, the date window, the oversized dial pattern, and God-awful crown guards. I like their lug and bracelet treatment on the new one, and the shape of the bezel holes, but everything else - they got wrong. They can say that it is at best "Genta inspired" but no way can they call it the Genta Ingeniuer. Blasphemy!!

The legend himself! I've credited all footage used. Thank you for your feedback as I'm trying as hard as I can to obtain all watches I review (which isn't easy when you're new to the game)

​​@@RicardoHawkesdoes he know you used his videos? If you got his permission I understand completely. If not then that's f#cked up in my opinion.

Dude, chill. It’s well within the KZbin guidelines, as well as intellectual property law (sorry, IP lawyer here). If he credits the source, it’s halal. It’s a new channel and a new voice. Slide him a break. It’s the holidays, ferchrissake.
