You have to press the small button in the middle of the Longines Evidenza Chronograph Mens watches L2.656.4.71.9 link with one of the included tools and with the other tool you press/drive the pin out of the link (from the side). Of course, you still need to be careful to prevent some serious scratches on the watch. Due to the satin finish, this watch is unfortunately a scratch magnet.Although the weight of this watch is incredible, the watch does wear very comfortable. However, I realise that this is something very personal. I have a rather ‘flat’ wrist and I do know that some people with a little ‘bump’ at the end of their wrist might feel the watch a bit too much at the end of the day (right Monochrome?). Right now, I wear the watch on an IWC soft strap with an IWC buckle. This perhaps helps the bumpy people out. The soft strap was initially made for the AMG versions of the Ingenieur, but it will Longines Evidenza Chronograph Mens watches L2.656.4.71.9 fit the regular Ingenieur perfectly.
Here is a short review of my Ingenieur ref.3227 after exactly 3 months of ownership. I don’t think it’s necessary to give background information on this watch, as I have done this in the past (here and here) and you can read all about the vintage Ingenieurs (including the 1976s SL) on this page by Larry Seiden, Marco Schoenenberger and David ter Molen.Although this purchase might seemed as an impulse three months ago, I always had a weak spot for the IWC Ingenieur. The packaging and the manuals that come with this watch are very nice. The black box with its leather interior keeps the watch in place perfectly. However, who is going to use it anyway once you put the watch around your wrist? The watch comes with two small bits that need to be used for removing and adding links or the whole bracelet of course. The system of adding and removing links and/or the entire Longines Evidenza Chronograph Mens watches L2.656.4.71.9 bracelet is a piece of cake with the nice spring-system on the backside of the bracelet.
