Best IWC Ingenieur fake vs original:
The IWC Ingenieur automatic was introduced in 2023. This Ingenieur has a stainless steel case of 40.00mm and a Silver dial, Reference IW328902. The best clone Ingenieur available is the V7 factory.In the pictures below, the left side is genuine and the right side is V7:
IWC Ingenieur genuine vs fake
It's hard to tell from the pictures what the difference is between these two watches. Both are 316 stainless steel and both measure 40mm.
genuine vs fake
If I had to find a difference, I think the v7 crown guard is a bit more rounded than the original, as well as the font not being as thick as the original.
Comparison of the IWC engraving on the clasp: the original has a deeper engraving. In addition, the bracelet of the V7 is done to perfection.
Dial Comparison: If there is no authentic product next to the comparison, non-professionals can't tell whether it's real or fake. I think the V7 does it quite perfectly.
Numbered with a unique code on the back of the case, the V7 clones almost every detail of the original.
The V7 uses the Seagull 2892 movement, so it will be a little thicker than the original. The original has a power reserve of 120 hours, the V7 about 50 hours. This is the biggest difference. But in terms of the quality of the movement, the Seagull 2892 movement is used in very many replica watches, and the quality of this movement is very stable, so you don't have to worry about the quality.
V7 factory
The V7, a superb replica, definitely falls short compared to the original, but for a watch that costs around $500, it's the best IWC Ingenieur replica.
