·A very interesting and rare IWC Ingy, ref 3506 or The Skinny Ingenieur. If you have skinny wrists than this is the watch for you. This is the successor of the famous Jumbo SL from the 70s, which was designed by Gerald Genta and inspired by the Royal Oak and Nautilus line. The bracelets remind of the one from the Nautilus and the case and dial remind of the Royal Oak. The dial has nice tapiserie detail. While this is 34mm, it wear quite nice (more like a DJ etc) I will post some comparison pictures as well.
Really good read about this model you can find here:

Movement is cal 3753 which has a solid gold rotor, crown is original, the watch is in mint state, I bought it from the original owner who bought it in 1987 and had it serviced by IWC in 2012, sadly the paperwork was not kept "as it expired". The watch is running at -1.5 sec a day and has excellent power reserve. The finish on the case is superb, no dings anywhere. The bracelet is original and superb shape.
The cheapest example on chrono is 2.1k (and there are only 4 of this ref) I'm asking 1500 GBP insured EU delivery included (next day DHL express) TRADED
