LeSentier Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Crappy, [censored]' iPhone pics, but no better ones available: Brown or black strap?
Lobster Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Def Black, you can send me the brown one for my Spitfire But I must say that Brown would suit your perfectly
LeSentier Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Thank you - I am considering a dark brown gator with white stitching. Or grain brown leather instead, because I will receive a black IWC rep strap in the next days. Other strap suggestions?
Lobster Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 dark blue gator would be nice given the blueish ar tint and black dial. I would also try out the Kevlaar which has been so popular with the 3717
modelizer Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 I'm happy to see it arrived safe and sound K! Wear that stunner in good health my friend!
urbanshogun Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 How much does one of these babies cost? If you don't mind me asking
rafi717 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Thank you - I am considering a dark brown gator with white stitching. Or grain brown leather instead, because I will receive a black IWC rep strap in the next days. Other strap suggestions? I think the blue gator might be really nice indeed. Here is a beauty from the watch boy clan. Blue gator strap I wonder how kevlar would look on this gorgeous piece. Enjoy the watch, it's definitely a winner! - R
LeSentier Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Dear friends, thank you for your kind words. Try to take better pics during the WE, and before my wife kills me (because I have bought another watch, instead of collecting funds for our summer holidays, hehe...I guess I didn't tell her about my 16520 project...did I?) Urbanshogun: I don't mind of course, but compared to picking one up from an AD, it was a steal. For details just ask Concepta. This one goes for €1.000+, but it is all gen! For god's sake - a watch that slips under a cuff...if you ever wore an AP sec@12 you know what I mean. Not too sporty, not too occassional not too small - just perfect! Thanks concepta, also for your perfect aftersales service! It's top!!! So, here's one box,lume and the wristie. Cheers,J
LeSentier Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Oh, and thanks for the tip - on all pics you can see the dark blue gator. Nearly black, but nice blue details in the sunlight. I found this one in my strap box, it's from BOB (waccex), € 16 incl delivery. Looks good, not cheap. J
urbanshogun Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 If he can do one sans gen movement and case I think I might just be able to afford one. This watch is an inner wrist piece IMO. It's truly a unsung design classic, congrats on the piece. Wear it well.

LeSentier Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 But not a rep case. These looks really shitty... If you want to go for a Mark, there is no way except gen case... Lob-I am thinking about to get a spitfire since I saw yours - but then she (wife) will definately kill me...
camiel Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Damn this looks good! Can't wait fopr mine to finally arrive.
Pentax1 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Ordered Mine on the 25th Of April ..... Lets see A weep passed another 2 to Go.....
