Toshi strap! Edit: Hey! I hit answer no. 3333. How cool is that?

Hi WM9 is like a boutique producer of reps. He does low amounts and pays a lot attention to detail and accuracy. There is no one producing a 3717 in comparable quality. If memory serves right WM9 is planning to do a Mark XVI but not 3717. But the V3 3717 you can get from almost all the trusted dealers here is quite decent actually. Just ask them via E-Mail to make sure you get a V3 and not something else. Val.

Thanks for the great evening! I really enjoyed your company very much. There's soooo much to learn for me about watches. Looking forward to seeing the pix. Val.

Sad to hear it, Carl. Why is it a bad day? I have a very good Saturday morning, hope your turns out better. Life is good! Val.

Thanks. That's why he died so young, I guess. Never had the time to record crap. Now listening to Doc Watson, Black Mountain Rag. Sorry about that. Val.

I second that. Better for karma. Val.

Ah, he's back! Speedy recovery! Good to see you posting again. Val.

Guys, I have only just found this tread. This is a very touching project and I feel somewhat special just by being allowed to be part of a community who brings out friendships like this one. Kind regards Val.

Stock pic, kind of busy, no time to take fresh pix: Val.

On a positive note I like the new clasp. Mom always said to point out the positive too. Val.

I know. And it breaks my heart. Let's hope that they realize somewhere down the road that they're in a horribly bad design nightmare and return to something less bulky and ...ugly. I agree a hundred percent. I liked the GMTIIc but it grew stale on me pretty quickly. Now it just sits inside the watch box. ...I don't want to speak about the SDDS, don't want to make myself too unpopular here. It's simply nothing to do with the classic watch they made for so many years. Val.

Same for me. No colours on my arm. I'd make an exception for an LV, but just for the bezel. Val.

I'm sorry to say I find them quite horrible. The pearl reminds me of Nanuk's last avatar's goggles: telescope eye style. Yuk. Val.

Happy Birthday, RWG! I did not know it was today or I would have brought a bottle of champagne! All the best! Val.

I wear my newest acquisiton, of course: Val.

One does what one can. Good luck. Val.

I fear there's not too many guys around with the kind of experience your looking for here. I can't help you either with your question, sorry. What I'm absolutely certain is this: If your wife says she wants the one with the bling, don't - just don't - try and order the plain white one. Just my two cents. Val.

Wow BT, you really set high standards for reviews! This is a great read, thank you so much for the time and energy invested in this! You make me seriously consider getting this. And i'm not even a Breit guy! Val.

Interesting read, thanks Ubi and Lani. I'm not sure what version mine is, to be honest. Gonna have to save some money and talk to Domi, I guess. Val.

Thanks, A. I'll keep that in the back of my mind. Good info. Thanks you! Val.

I'm sorry that you received an only partly satisfying 3717, mactower. I don't mean to hijack your thread but as you mention that the markers are uneven I thought I might ask: Is there a step by step guide somewhere on how to do this? My markers are slightly off too. Val.
