IWC Ingenieur X AMG Racer Flyback Chrono on Bracelet; Outstanding Set w/ Bonuses

Description: For your consideration, Dr4 Watches has on offer a pre-owned but in excellent condition IWC Engineer AMG Tribute Racer Flyback Chronograph in the cool and rarer all silver blue raised indices variant. And it is on the gorgeous integrated bracelet which will accomodate up to about a 7+7/8 wrist. Despite the beauty, this is very much a tool watch capable of any diving duties (it is 120 meter water resistant) and also very versatile as luxury chronograph should be. IWC box, papers, etc. (see pics) comes with his fantastic watch and it will of course pass through eBay's Authenticity Guarantee service which is fantastic for any buyer. Note that the MSRP for this watch was $14,000+ tax not that long ago due to the IWC build quality, flyback chronograph functionality, integrated case and bracelet and the off-the-charts specifications. And with the Mercedes AMG tie-in and limited edition run of these... well this is a classic and beautiful timepiece with strong appreciation potential. (And I don't often say this) Of course we are bringing the best value on the internet because we tirelessly source our inventory and inspect very closely upon receipt for quality and authenticity. We are extremely thorough in our listings and we still absolutely encourage questions regarding the timepieces. If you have questions regarding the specifications, provenance, history, etc., no problem. Just ask if you have a question! We only deal in 100% real watches because reputation is critical for us and in this industry in particular. We always have the inventory in our possession. We do not do the broker thing. The condition of this watch is as follows: Pre-owned but in Excellent shape. Check out the pictures! Because we only want timepiece customers who are delighted with their purchase, we strive to add some additional insight to help you make a great timepiece decision. With that in mind, some additional considerations about this watch include: 1. This watch is beefy in a classic large chronograph size at 45mm works well on a male wrist of average to large size. I can recommend this watch for somebody with a wrist size of 15cm in circumference and larger. I have an average size wrist (see the picture) this watch works well. It definitely makes a statement and is classically oversized. In the somewhat reserved interesting silver dial, the watch wears true to form. The bracelet has all of the links installed and I believe it will fit up to a 7+3/4 inch and possibly a 7+7/8 inch wrist.2. This is an understated but clearly mission-driven chronograph --- it is an impressive, refined statement. The dial, tachymeter bezel and crystal interplay makes this watch as it beautiful, mission-driven and racing styled. The solid caseback with the Mercedes AMG race car engraving makes no apologies for its Formula 1, race-timing and tool watch intentions. It does not get more high-tech than modern Mercedes AMG race engineering. Note the dial is applied Silver on the engine turned effect concentric main dial. Yes, you read that right: Silver --- and that is how it gets the remarkable character. 3. The bracelet on this watch is fantastic. Perfectly integrated with the stunning timepiece case (as evidenced by the photos). Key point: These bracelets are expensive to source if, for instance, one were to get one of these fine watches on a lesser non-bracelet strap option. 4. Saphire crystal and raised lumed blue tripped indices over the stark silver dial adds to the strong and impressive build quality. The stance and quality gives the feeling of wearing white gold. It is overall a substantial watch --- not for somebody who likes, for instance, a lightweight titanium watch. 5. This is a classicly inspired (by Gerald Genta incidentally the 1832 reference Engineer model) but different "up and down register" chronograph watch that will last decades and has the added comfort of knowing that the manufacture, IWC Schaffhausen was founded in 1868 in the venerable Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The "up and down" registers have their own slightly different hue and texture to add visual interest. This is a definitive, collectible, integrated classic which does not look dated in 2021 and will not look dated in 2051. 6. The top register has two indicators (minutes and hours) built into it. This is a rare and high-end 38 jewel flyback chronograph (Caliber IWC 89361) with a freesprung balance and 4 pawl bidirectional winding system with a massive 68 hour power reserve and hacking seconds.. I would suggest that this timepiece --- from an aesthetic, functionality and specifications perspective --- goes head-to-head with the likes of a Patek Phillipe Nautilus Chronograph, Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chrono and Audemars Piquet Royal Oak Offshore chronograph. 7. A crisp date wheel with a wonderfully and slightly different arabic numeral font again takes the racing-inspired cool factor up a few notches. 8. But let's not bury the lead. The beauty of this watch comes from the wonderful mix of two wonderful timepiece colors --- brushed and polished silver and vibrant racing-blue accents. And most of us want a beautiful timepiece if we are spending $10K! This timepiece stands out with a certain purpose built functionality wrapped in beauty. It oozes build quality and looks every bit the part of the $13K+tax MSRP price tag that it sold for a few short years ago. 9. Kindly note that this version --- the Silver Dial with full stainless steel integrated bracelet and the blue raised applied indices --- is the rarer, more desirable and higher value reference for these IWC Racer chronographs. All of the references are fabulous but the darker dials and non-bracelet references (e.g., this one is also sold on a navy leather strap) are simply not as valued in the market. If you go add one of those great leather straps, the nice thing is that this bracelet will easily swap out to the leather without any special tools. Ultra-versatile rapid strap changing system. 10. Bonuses: Check out the Mercedes AMG car photo with IWC prominently displayed. And the vintage Mercedes IWC livery Matchbox car. Do you get these when you spend, literally, thousands more for this fine timepiece from other dealers? (The answer is "No") 11. And one more bonus. Also included is an IWC 2013/2014 Annual Edition Hardback book --- 267 pages! It has the write-up for this special watch and an included Dealer MSRP price list as well. This price list shows the MSRP for this awesome rare IWC racer to be... $14,300!!! We do not offer a warranty but will work with you to make any post-purchase repairs via advice on where to go and what to do (with no profit for us but paid for by you). Everything we sell is working fine for all functions when it leaves our facility (or more specifically the safe deposit box where our watches reside). In some cases, we can go back to our source and get the watch repaired for free based on our relationship and reputation. We should always be the first port-of-call if there is an issue. 100% delighted customers so far and we aim to keep it that way. Please examine the pictures, what you see is what you get. The only exceptions are the black case that we photograph on top of to prevent scratching and the English Bull Dog which we put in our group shots because we think it looks great. The Bull Dog is a James Bond tie-in and we kind of really like James Bond. And finally, we are an Atlanta based business but we also operate out of North Florida (some inventory in both places) as I like to include my brother in the business some. Thank you for your consideration, Steve
