    I am currently rebuilding my collection thus another fine watch has to go.

    Up for sale from my private collection is this nice IWC Ingenieur ref. 666A

    At a glance:
    - All solid steel case (36,5 mm without crown)
    - Protected against magnetism until 1.000 gauss
    - IWC cal. 853
    - Original silver/champagne sunburst dial
    - Steel markers and hands
    - Signed original IWC fish crown
    - Generic strap and buckle

    The silver respectively champagne coloured dial is equipped with rectangular stainless steel hour markers and steel dauphine hands. Both form a very appealing ensemble which is further emphasised by the fantastic sunburst effect of the dial. There is a slight and even patina on dial and hands which is only visible in certain angles of light.
    The case shows no deep scratches or dings the original finish is still visible.
    The movement is clean and the watch is running strong. It winds and sets super smooth. The accuracy is fine. It gains about 5 seconds a day. Nevertheless as I have no information about the service history, I would recommend that your watchmaker takes a look, if you intend to wear it on a daily basis.

    This is a really nice and colleactable Ingenieur. I am asking for 3.700 EUR (OBRO) which includes worldwide shipping to your door. Bankwire is preferred, paypal please add 4% (payment must be done in Euro). The watch and I are located in Germany. Multiple shipping options are available EMS, parcel services like UPS, TNT, DHL Express

    I have references here on OF and a lot of positive feedback on ebay.

    Please have a look on the pictures and feel free to answer to this thread or PM me if you have any questions. No returns unless the condition of the watch is misrepresented.

    Thanks for looking!
