Texski Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Chris, IWC saphires for 5000 series watches are very expensive. They are made in limited quantities, so the cost of manufacturing is more. Expect to pay $600+ The 3717 saphires are half as much. They really compliment the white-ish/silver of a Spitfire dial, but they come at a hefty price. 3717 Saphire and Crown Tube If you want IWC, PM me.

Lobster Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think Taka still makes good AR'd crystals for the 3717. There are also a few independent guys who can coat them privately. There is a dude in EU, forgot his name though. Seems like Texski can get the genuine articles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texski Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Lobster, thank you. FYI, I just talked to ChiefTang and he may be doing a run in a couple of months. Taka is sold out of the 3717's so you would need to supply your own crystal, and ship to EU. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
