what about this ??

Ive been trying to decide for a good few weeks now whether to go for a Rolex Milgauss or an Explorer 2...


I know this isnt a Rolex, but I stumbled across an IWC the other day and felt like I had to share...and I must say I'm quite a fan! ( although I know it would not be to everyones taste). Its an IWC Ingenieur Chrono, and it looks abit like a VC constantine mixed with a Audemars P Royal Oak.

I like it!

If I were to choose the Milgauss and the Ingenieur, I would take the Ingenieur any time!

Apart from the dial, the crown/guard (or lack of), the tachymeter (no known real application), the minute numbers on the inside of the minute markers, the two sub dials (and their layout), the holes in the bezel and the $4595. I suppose it looks OK.

it doesnt have the classic lines that i see in vacheron, patek and other lines... even audemars piguet royal oak looks classic, but that looks like a 500 dollar seiko to me
