No offence but that looks like a rep to me. The gens I've seen has a black date wheel.

Lugs look rather shiny for vintage?

For almost 20 minutes I had a Gen IWC ;)

 

You're right... It was really cheap actually... But it still looks good I think...

It does have a GEN strap however...

it looks like a rep from a mile off.

 

is that a synthetic glass or a sapphire crystal?

Any AR?

I really have no idea...

I always liked the vintage aquatimer, and by coincidence I found a really cheap GEN strap for it...

Off course there are no good reps of this particular IWC, so settled for what I could find :)

 

What are the biggest tells you would say?

 

Maybe it could be the beginning of a "project". Almost everything can be modded about this watch, so...

What do you think? Worth it?

Me too :)

 

This is as close as I'll come for now...

 

It needs a black DW, Better AR, re-lume, brushing of the case... And some other stuff I forgot

 

Also the caseback says: Ingenieur :D

It should be 44mm (GEN), but if I measure the rep it's closer to 45mm (biiiiiiiiiig)

Remember this is not a rep of a vintage watch. Its a rep of a newer piece inspired by a vintage watch.

Did you have it modded? It looks better than mine :)

Especially the inner bezel, numbers are bolder...more GEN like...
