Do People Still Wear Ingersolls? 🤔

abrokewatchnerd

Looking for a well built, black dial chrono, with a screw down crown, 100m or water resistance, well built bracelets and a domed crystal for the beautiful distortion, all for under $100? Well let me introduce to you the Ingersoll Chrono. From an American brand that dates back to 1800’s. This is an absolute no brainer.
 

The question is, do people still consider them a good buy? #ingersoll 

Like it? Cop one off Amazon for $90 bucks

I only know of them through their historical associations with Timex and Mickey Mouse. I have never encountered one in the wild. Since they have always positioned themselves as a budget brand, I would believe them and lower expectations accordingly. (They have not been an American company in a very, very long time.)

Yes - Apart from being my first watch bought an Ingersoll bronze Scovill Radiolite automatic bph 21600 accuracy mine +1sec/day (loved test result "watch accuracy meter app" so didn't retest!-also proves Myota movements have some quality!) Ref. https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/ingersoll-scovill-radiolite-100m-bronze-automatic-watch-review-unboxing-i05001-in-619.5259874/ cool video in link gives the full story. I could polish it up but like the patina, maybe give it a mini clean but prefer understated watches not too much glitz, horses for courses!
