If you remember my review on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15300 that I wrote recently, you know how much I care about the feel of Replica Louis Vuitton Couple watches 4226 with a design like these.With a list price of a mere 9K USD and the fact that there are some cons about this watch, I am happy that I have the discontinued (that has been produced from 2005 till now) 3227-01 model. A tribute to the original SL1832 Ingenieur in my opinion, without losing its own identity. It is cheaper too, and I really dont see why the Mission Earth has to cost more. It makes no sense to me.So I guess I can keep the 42.5mm Ingenieur Automatic with its stainless steel bracelet without feeling the urge to do (yet another) trade for something new. Of course, I dont want to sound to negative, the Mission Earth is still a fine watch, but for this kind of money I want a Replica Louis Vuitton Couple watches 4226 exactly right and to my taste, and its not.
Therefor, this watch has a completely different feel (at least to me).So, in conclusion, what do I like about this watch and whats not to like. The design is still intact despite the supersizing and the addition of crown guards. The stainless steel case back (instead of a transparant case back) is also a pro. Then of course, for the techies, the movement is a nice inhouse caliber with IWCs Pellaton winding system. These movements are quite accurate as well, adopting IWCs own standards for this, instead of using the more generic COSC standards.When this watch will be worn on a daily basis or as your only watch, the colors are a bit too much I think. I also think the blue strap could be seen as looking cheap for many. However, to me, the major setback is the lack of sharp edges of the case. The design of this Replica Louis Vuitton Couple watches 4226 is so incredibly cool in my opinion, and it should feel as it looks. Sharp. And it doesnt.
