Steve52 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I've been wearing my new Slevin 3719 since it arrived a week ago. I love it! My UPO Chrono has a meeting with The Zigmeister in six weeks for a checkup and some lume, then I'm thinking of having some modds done on this baby. I've read that the date wheel is a must, but I'm not sure about what else to do to it. I was thinking AR, but I hear Chief is not doing it anymore and the AR on it now seems pretty darn good (not Chief's, but okay for me). Any other suggestions? BTW, where can I get a gen date wheel? Thanks! I'll post pics when it's finished. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texski Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Steve, I source IWC parts, and am CONUS. I must apologize, I have not spent much time on the 3719, I have been buried in 3714, 3717, and upcoming 3789 and BP's. But am having more and more request for this and need to get up to speed. What movement do you have in this, Asian or Swiss? From what I am seeing, the date wheel is not the standard ETA, but very close. Chances are good I could get one, let me know.

Jkay Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Since you already are a Zig customer, you can have him lume the dive bezel for you. He does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky driver Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 A few members have added a eta Non-English day wheel as a mod, which i think is high up on the want to do list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve52 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I didn't consider the non-English date wheel. Probably German. I'll look into that. Anyone know what language it's supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Steve, The daywheel language type is kind of personal pref to what you want; since it's a regional thing, it can technically be anything you want it to be (pending availability, etc). Personally, I went with a German daywheel on my 3717 since the Fliegeruhr is a German style pilots watch: For my 3719... I'll probably stick with Anglais...

ubiquitous Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Have to say, chief AR is definitely a must-do on these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 You could bead blast the clasp as per the gen. i wouldnt bother with luming the bezel. on the gen it's suuuuuuper flat and perfectly white (like paint), and barely glows at all. Even the hands and dial are pretty weak. Also bare in mind if you do AR the Xtal that the gen has a profound blue tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEKS Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Tex, I'm trying to PM you but it reports your InBox as full. Could you PM when you get a chance? Thank you - J Sent from my Android Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
