Pugwash Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 This is the watch (dead, but soon to be revived) Closer ... Closer ...
ubiquitous Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 I love the simple elegance of this watch...
asf Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 wow I never knew the dial was textured! I dont look at mine enough
Pugwash Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Posted August 22, 2009 I love the simple elegance of this watch... I will admit I got this watch wrong. I preferred the gold/blue in pictures, but in reality, the all-blue is a lot more striking.
coolfire Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 wow I never knew the dial was textured! I dont look at mine enough That is until one enjoys Puggy's pictorials...
Pugwash Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Posted August 22, 2009 That is until one enjoys Puggy's pictorials... I need a photo that shows the rings in the numerals. I'll take one while I'm resetting the hands and cleaning off the apparent graphite dust on the dial.
he_haupt Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 pure taste - a beauty! I wear mine on a nightblue strap - a pitty that it has this movement problems.... sometimes I'm looking for the real thing, but 4k

siesta181 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 The Blue portuguese chrono is the best looking out of the whole lot. The dial colour is inaccurate though. Its pure white in the gen but the rep has it in silver. What's wring with the rep makers. So Pug, graphite treatment or a gen movt?
Pugwash Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Posted August 25, 2009 So Pug, graphite treatment or a gen movt? I can't afford a gen movement. Graphite fixed it, though. It's been running solidly on my wrist for three days.
frutta007 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Simple and elegant - LOVE IT>.. dude what do you mean -dead?? like baterry not workin or what?
Kronofan Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Simple and elegant - LOVE IT>.. dude what do you mean -dead?? like baterry not workin or what? ..These have automatic movement. These are second on my musthave list!
Pugwash Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Posted September 9, 2009 Simple and elegant - LOVE IT>.. dude what do you mean -dead?? like baterry not workin or what? Dead as in the movement wouldn't run. It's a common problem with these watches. Needless to say, I fixed it, but who knows how long it'll last before needing fixing again.
kgbAgent Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Well I have yet to have it arrive but I am as close to a gen as possible with my IWC 3714-17 Blue All I really need is a gen case - the straps of the gen I dont care for anyway For me it is my grail piece and I am now starting the IWC 3714-01 version Pics when I get it
russ Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 Man, I really love this watch. Just wish it was dependable.
simzger Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) The dial colour is inaccurate though. Its pure white in the gen but the rep has it in silver. What's wring with the rep makers. not true......i see it at the ADs every day. i know what you mean though. i think the one with gold dials & hands has a very white dial. but the one with blue hands FOR SURE exists with the same silver/grey dial. however, the blue hands and numbers are a tad darker on the gen. simon Edited September 26, 2009 by simzger
concepta Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 I´ll let the pics do the talkin..
ubiquitous Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 One of which will be sharing some box space with a pair of Daytonas...
