Highly modded IWC 3717

Hi guys,

I haven't been on the forum a lot the last year, but i would love to share this new watch with you. It started with buying a genuine IWC 3717 dial and hands. Shortly after i was also offered a genuine IWC crown and tube and shortly after that an IWC rotor.

There was already a genuine swiss valjoux 7750 in my watchbox and from the far east i ordered a rep case for this model. Unfortunately the case came without movement spacer ring, so that would be a big problem. In China the dealer went looking for the ring... and i waited and waited... In the end my watchmaker, Domenico, whom you all know him of course, told me he made the movement ring himself!! Now that's excellent work :D

He just mailed me the photos of the final product before shipping....

- replica case

- self-made movement spacer ring

- swiss Valjoux 7750

- IWC rotor

- IWC crown & tube

- IWC dail & hands

- IWC day & date ring

And Domenico had the crystal AR coated.

So now on to the photos...

Thanx guys, i'm really happy that i could get all these gen parts and that Domenico made the movement spacer ring himself!

If the watch is here soon, i might be able to take some photos side by side with my gen IWC 3717 (that's about to leave me). Now i'll need a gen box and OEM strap/buckle to make it complete. Photos... as soon as it gets here!!
