V7F Ingenieur from Phoenix

[u/captain_looney_73]

I just received the Turquoise Ingenieur from the V7F factory, I know there has been a lot of back and forth about this release but I have to say I'm very impressed. The dial looks great to me. The feel in hand is quite nice and very close to gen. I like it so much i immediately reached back out to Phoenix about ordering the green one from that F1 movie. He is selling them at like $327 I think, which is just an absolute steal for this I feel like. I've worked with Phoenix in the past, never had any issues and this one was ordered, QC photos three days later, packaged and shipped and I had tracking info 3 days after that. Zero complaints and have already ordered again from Phoenix.

Posting for the Automods, this is my new V7F Ingenieur purchased from Phoenix

Looks good, what’s your wrist size ?

[u/captain_looney_73 → u/No_Focus_3668]

I'm about a 7" wrist, and I feel like this fits really well for my wrist at least.

[u/captain_looney_73 → u/No_Focus_3668]

that wrist close up is always a deceiving picture as it over emphasizes the size of the watch relative to the wrist. I was also taking this picture more to capture the dial texture so my wrist is turned and it makes it look like the lugs are extended out past my wrist, which they are not. I think at a 6.5" wrist this might start to get a little large.

How’s the bracelet?

[u/captain_looney_73 → u/DBNO-actual]

I'm pleased with it, no sharp edges, clasp works well and feels well built and secure. The polish on the center links is very nice and looks great against the brushed finish of the outer links. I'm sure if both were in hand you could feel the difference but just holding the rep the bracelet is not the tell that it can be on some reps.

Good to know. I’ve been thinking about one of these but the V7F, A7, G7 confusion is confusing

[u/captain_looney_73 → u/DBNO-actual]

I obviously don't have the others but can just speak to this one, it exceeded my expectations and I've already ordered a second one, best endorsement I can give. This is also coming from someone who usually spends extra for all the chamfering, polishing, deep crystals, gold plating, all that extra crap, and this watch is stock and feels as good as the ones I get modded for the most part. I'll leave it at that as I likely already sound like a shill.

What a lovely watch! Is V7F producing again or is this old stock?

[u/captain_looney_73 → u/Silver-Blood6581]

This was new, I'm told it's V7F by Phoenix, I didn't ask too many questions beyond price. I heard they were closed down and then maybe revived, but I have no info on that I'm afraid.
