IWC Ingenieur Dual Time Watch Models In Steel
IWC Schaffhausen, the watch "engineered for men" as their motto puts it, has been involved in a number of partnerships with teams and events related to what I guess we could call "manly sports." One of these partnerships is between the Eastern-Switzerland-based brand and the Formula One team Mercedes AMG Petronas, who have so far dominated the season, by the way. The primary collection dedicated to this co-operation is the Ingenieur, the more rugged and sports-inspired among all IWC collections.I have actually spotted pit crew members wearing different models from this line during races, something I considered a nice touch. IWC has just announced two new-ish pieces related to this partnership between the F1 team and the brand, so today we are looking at the IWC Ingenieur Dual Time Reference IW324402, which is the black dial version, and Reference IW324404, sporting a silver dial.

Bring a Loupe: Completely Fake Patek Philippe 1463 In Steel On eBay For Over $25,000 �C Here's How To Tell It's A Fake
Fake watches are scary and plentiful, great original watches are beautiful but scarce – this is why we keep you up to speed in our weekly edition of Bring A Loupe. However, a weekly column isn't enough to flag all the offenders and we see countless bad watches sell each week. Sometimes, however, we see one that is so offensive, and in this case, so expensive, that we just have to dedicate an entire story to it here. A watch listed right here on eBay is supposed to be a rare Patek Philippe. It is, of course, not at all a Patek Philippe, but that doesn't prevent it from having a price of over $18,000 right now, with two more days to go.I will not only expose the parts that make this fake the worst buy you could ever make, but also the general attitude that I recommend having when hunting for a watch. My motto: only the paranoid make good collectors. When It Is Too Good To Be True Finding an amazing watch for a bargain is like looking for water in the desert: th

Daytona 116500 alternative.
Hey everyone, I have been on the hunt looking for the Ceramic Daytona and like many others getting one soon (at msrp) is tough. So I have been looking at other chronograph watches and have really fallen for the Audemars Piguet 41mm SS. Just got back from Vegas and tried the AP on and it is nice. Have not bought another high end watch except Rolex and would like some advise. I know many of you have multi brand collections. The price I was given was a good out the door with two extra links, 5 year warranty. I think msrp was around $24,600. That's a big price for SS watch! Would you guys do boutique or trusted seller? Thoughts on AP?Here is some pics of watches I have been looking at, any others Thanks all. Dave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
