wtchgk Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Finally they are all done. Take a look 3717 V3 - high beat A7750 (one that functions exceptionally well) - ETA day/date wheels - genuine alligator strap from the watch boys 3717 - genuine ETA movement - ETA day/date wheels - taka AR top gun V1 - serviced high beat A7750 (calendering plate and associated parts replaced) - V2 strap and buckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 So which one is your favorite? and I guess the "Genuine ETA" is simply an ordinary ETA 7750....or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Nice trio. I gotta ask though, why two 3717? One main one and a spare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtchgk Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 So which one is your favorite? and I guess the "Genuine ETA" is simply an ordinary ETA 7750....or? Which watch I favor depends on the occasion. For practical reasons I wear the 3717 with the bracelet most of the time. However, I generally prefer a leather strap. It just does not feel that comfortable all day long especially in hot weather. The top gun I like for casual, sporty occasions. The genuine ETA movement is a 7750. Nice trio. I gotta ask though, why two 3717? One main one and a spare? I don’t really need two. However it is convenient, albeit over the top, to have one with a bracelet and one with a strap. But since you asked, this is how I ended up with two. I first got the V3. I liked it and thought it would be worthwhile to get a genuine ETA 7750 movement. I had read somewhere that the V1 of the watch supposedly has a low beat movement that is fully compatible with the genuine ETA movement. So I ordered a V1 with a bracelet thinking that I might keep or sell the first watch. By the way, the V1 I received was really a V3 maybe with a slight difference in the AR. I cannot tell for sure. But it came with a high beat movement and the hands had to be modified anyway to fit the ETA movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
