Another consideration.
This one could be a good choice for CFIII - imo.
Maybe a little repetitive?
I think it is wrong to pick this model for a CF3 Rob.
Why, Argiris? I think the idea is quite viable. Not too long ago the Mark XVII got a lot of support as a possible CFW3. This black dial Ingenieur (my favourite of the three right now) is very similar to the Mark XVII: not too big and thick, not too expensive, great 30110 movement, antimagnetic cage, more than enough water resistance, nice bracelet, short: a very practical all purpose watch, both sporty and fairly dressy. I would support that idea, would welcome it, even if the size is a bit smaller than desired.
Kind regards, Paul

And an idea for the CFIII: remove the crown-guards, that would give it a nice CF touch... what do you think? Maybe a brown dial as well?

Hi Martijn,
I would like to keep the crown guards. Removing them, changing the model, is not viable anyway I presume: only colour changes etc. are possible. That brown dial like on the ceramic, would be great.
Kind regards, Paul

For any CFIII, keep in mind that IWC has a rule that there are no special editions of novelties in the year the novelties are introduced. I'm sure somewhere that rule has been broken, but I can pretty much assure you that an Ingenieur CF3 based on a 2013 model won't be introduced until 2014.

I'm too impatient for that.
Hmmm, then a CF3 Big Pilot edition, released in 2013, should fit within this rule ?
A BP CF3 - I think that would be very cool.

Shing - I second, third and fourth that one. A BP CF3 I would definitely buy, even in the year of the Ingenieur, and even if I have decided to not buy another watch until THE ONE is within reach - I would break that promise for a BP CF3 :-)

I am thrilled to see the 40 mm ing as well as the return of the iron cage (which I believe is what makes an Ingenieur an Ingenieur). I love my 3227 but I think for the new Ing would be a wonderful introduction to IWC for the next generation of IWC enthusiasts. Regards, Dan
