grifter Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Posted March 16, 2011 In the mail, on its way!! This is officially the hardest part. The final wait before delivery. Is there a way to fast forward the mail?!
tomhorn Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 One tell tell on the rep is the crown, if there is something you want to mod, then it's the crown. I can spot a fake 3717 from a mile away Is the gen crown slightly larger than the rep crown? I was able to pick up a gen IWC crown (seller didn't know if it was for a 3717) but it looks larger than the rep so I have not installed it yet.

Zapadeus Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 I have ordered me the same set just last weekend ! Only exception: No german datewheel, although I am german... I think IWC does not offer any watches with german day wheels any more, so I just want to be as gen. as possible... And mine will be equipped with a rep. SS strap which has gen end links on. Beside the rep strap - why call it franken ? It´s gen ! Ok...the numbers on the mov. and the case will be different - who cares !
grifter Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Gen everything 3717 has arrived! Quick pic from phone. Will put a strap on and do a nice photo shoot. First impression: My socks got knocked off my feet and I did 15 cartwheels! What can I say? It's gen Edited March 28, 2011 by grifter

spoofking Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Just had a message from Cincepta that mine is being assembled this weekend Oh happy days!
tessa Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 You know where to get it <yes an i want one but never get any response
Lobster Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Tessa and Metro, I understand your frustration but Concepta is not a store that is open 24/7. He will respond when he has time and WILL look after you. These projects are very long. You have to get the parts from the factory, send them to your watchmaker, get everything together, please incoming mails from customers, collate money, slowly ship out watches as they come in. Big process with a lot of work. It should reassure you that he does not take on a million projects at once, this would overheat his assembly line from A to Z. Chase him occasionally and he WILL get back.
