Domified 3717

Recommended Posts

Ok, my turn to show off.

This is what I did:

Ordered a 3717 from PT in Feb '10.

Also Ordered:

ETA Day+datewheel: http://www.cousinsuk.com/searchresults.aspx?searchtext=VAL775025611BW3

Crystal: http://www.2geek.net/eMart/index.php?c=22&p=23

Strap: Steinhart Chester Field old vintage 22/22 mm: http://www.steinhartwatches.de/index.php?id=67&artnr=136&Sel_ID=20&Sel_Cat_ID=1#136

Buckle: Genuine 20 mm old stock IWC buckle, € 40, from this guy: http://stores.ebay.com/watchplanet

I sent the watch to Domi, requesting lume, service and replacing wheel+crystal. He offered me a swap the movement to swiss valjoux for a very reasonable price, and I did!

This is the result. I love it! Although I'm still thinking about genuine hands and crown. Like to hear a few opinions on this.

PS For those who wonder how the strap fits the watch and the buckle: It's tight, but it works fine!

Outstandig :wub: and to bring out the beauty even more I would have selected a black and thinner strap for this blackdialed watch

Awesome. Personally, in general, I'm not a huge fan of the camel coloured straps...but I like the cut of this one.

I hear you. I got this one for a special occasion and it fits the suit. After that I think I'll switch to a darker version of the same strap.

To anyone with experience: should I consider genuine hands/crown?

Gen hands, and if you can find it, a gen dial are both very nice upgrades on this watch. I did the dial and hands on mine and have never once regretted the decision:

Beautiful 3717 thus far... This is a classic design and a must for any IWC enthusiast (in my opinion)...
