FS IWC Big Ingenieur BI 5005 (Jumbo Ingenieur) Seven-Day Automatic With FS IWC Big Ingenie

I bought this from the local AD and also the optional bracelet. List price is around $11.8K and the bracelet is around $1.2K for a total of $13K.

The watch comes with all boxes, papers, and copies of all receipts and is in near mint /excellent condition.

Ive worn this watch in normal rotation with my other watches and it has normal wear but no dings, dents, gouges, or scrapes - just the typical tiny scratches and other tiny cosmetic blemishes that you would expect to see.

I'm listing this for sale so I can fund another purchase but Im not in a hurry to sell and Im not looking for a trade. Ive sold six cheapies in the last month here locally but it looks like Ive got to sell one good watch if Im going to make my goal.

$8,500 cash for a face-to-face deal (only) which is about 35% off list price.

Im a long time TZer and I have TZ references.
