    Hi, everyone! I've always wanted to own a proportional chronograph watch, but since I have a small wrist, it's difficult to find one until I came across the ref 3734 online with a really great condition and decided to buy it. This specific Ingenieur watch I find very interesting because it looks unlike any other I've seen. It still has that distinctive Ingenieur case and bracelet, but looks much sportier with the additional sub dials and pump pushers, a bit Daytona-esque I might say. The movement is even more interesting cause it's a meca quartz based on cal 630 by JLC. I'm purchasing another one with ref 3733 with black and gold dial, which resembles more like a YG 6265. I'm obsessed with it now, trying to find out more info on it online but I haven't been able to find anything apart from the 1988 catalogue. I've been very interested to know if there's any story behind it besides the catalogue descriptions. I would appreciate it if any of you guys know something about it or know where I can find more info about it. Thanks, and here is the watch:

    welcome to our forum, a nice watch for a small wrist, congrats.

    The movement was used in some more IWC watches : the Porsche design quartz, the ladies Da Vinci and the pilot ref 3740 and 3741.

    Wear it in good health
