Would you trade a black IWC Ingenieur for an Aqua one?

[scarlet knight]

Since my black is used and the Aqua is new, I would have to throw in some cash.

I wouldn’t
But imo it al depends on how many watches you have

A black dial is timeless while the aqua might get boring pretty quick. So only if you have enough watches to rotate you might consider it.

I do have a ton of watches, many black, none aqua. I do find the Ingy’s aqua color charming.

I wouldn't, but just my subjective take in the context of my collection and what other colors etc are in it.

I bought the white/silver dial, which is beautiful, but also a better fit in my collection with plenty of black, blue and green dials.

Also have a strong preference for brushed center links. I'd be happy to never have PCLs again, too OCD I guess.

I think it depends on what else is in your collection. Since you have a lot of black dials, you should consider it.

I'm looking at the Black dial myself, but have a BLNR with PCLs, so looking for an all brushed bracelet. Otherwise, I'd trade up for the Titanium version.

Aqua for the win

[ts3]

I would not as I don't like the greenish dial color of the Aqua.

This for sure. I also happen to know of a few people who have done the opposite. Traded the Aqua in for another dial. Some have gone titanium for its uniqueness.

We live part time in Florida, I feel the Aqua fits in

The black Ingy.

Hope an Aqua owner pipes in with a picture.

I'd probably make that trade. The Aqua color draws me in.

[scarlet knight]

I did trade the black for aqua. A couple of pictures of the aqua.

Aqua by miles. Yes, I would do that.

If you prefer the versatility and newness of the Omega Aqua Terra, it could be a great upgrade, especially if you’re looking for something fresh. However, if you’re attached to the IWC Ingenieur’s distinctive design or craftsmanship, it might be worth holding onto. It ultimately depends on which piece better aligns with your collection and wearing style.

Already have an Omega Aqua Terra

Love the Aqua. Great trade.

[scarlet knight]

Thank you, Ingy Aqua fans. I really do think it is more unique than black.
