Mo_till Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Looks like we've got a possible new IWC super rep comming our way! hxxp://www.1-pc8838.com/iwp00103-spitfire-371806-doppel-chrono-ssle-p-11056.html To my eye it seems, that its pretty flawless. The color of the numerals might be a problem, but we will have to wait and see. Looking forward to it. Whats your opinion? Do you see any flaws?

dluddy Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hmmm, interesting choice to rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yeah the lume and font of numbers slightly off. Also the numbers on the outer circle part of the dial seem off. But all prob only noticeable if you were to put them side by side. I think I may pull the trigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Whats your opinion? Do you see any flaws? Hmmm... double asian chrono. Sounds like double trouble to me. Looks like they did a good job aesthetically though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concepta Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Don´t like it! Even the gen looks like a cheap fantasy rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Nice, but why are they never able to replicate the deep, nicely done engravings on the caseback of IWCs. I am hard pressed to see the difference in fonts or color, but even my girlfriend who knows zero about watches is able to see the difference in caseback engravings. Nevertheless, a nice watch.

permabull Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Even the gen is fugly to me. I'll pass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migge Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 LOL, I like this watch a lot! Design is stunning with the spitfire dial wich is an amazing piece of art in the genuine version. I tried this on in the IWC boutique in Dubai last year and the only concern for me was that is was to thick for my personal taste, I tend to disslike the wearing comfort of towering watches. This rep looks pretty good and accurate! Regarding that this watch would look like a toy etc I dont agree. But can agree that the special edition for the german footbal team or what is was looks a little toyish with the extra colours etc. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denverbass79 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I can't believe you all are haters on the double spitfire! I'm a sucker for panda dials and always wanted my 3717 spitfire to be a little larger and have more dial contrast. I like this watch so much that it is my pic on watch photos stack. I think this is about to get ordered and I'll be selling my spitfire chrono. Can someone confirm that the gen has 22mm lugs? That would be my assumption since it's larger than regular 3717.

sneed12 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I just touched a gen in Tourneau yesterday, and it had 21mm lugs according to the salesperson. I asked specifically. (I did not bring my calipers and mic it tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiparks Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 yup, 21mm. The 3717 bracelet fits perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Wow that looks pretty good on the bracelet! I like the two tone look of the dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denverbass79 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks for pics on bracelet. Just traded my spitfire 3717-02 for the new AT2000. Now I gotta flip another watch or two and I will get the Double. I had an extra 21mm bracelet from the 3717, plus a kevlar and custom brown croc.
