MJP Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I was researching for myself, thought I'd share. Main diff: white outline on 12 and 6 subs, text under date, "T swiss made T". Strap, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkey Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 They both look great. I believe the movie is Princess Mononoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doopey Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 The numbers on the sub dials on 12 and 9 o'clock are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest porsche356a Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi MJP, You are comparing 2 different models. The Gen you have pictured is a Doppelchronograph (ref. 3713) and the other, the Rep, is supposed to be the Pilots Chrono (ref. 3706). In which case the dial is pretty close to the GEN. The only anomaly I see is that the sub dials at 6 and 12 have no outline, the fonts are a tad bigger, and the second hand for the chrono, and the subdial hands are supposed to be white. The "swiss made" and "t swiss made t" script on the bottom are both correct as sometime between 98 and 2001 IWC switched. Other than that its quite good. The Backis a bit off but its pretty darn close. Just get a GEN dial, ebay has them from time to time, very inexpensive. And with little effort, you'll have a 3706 thats pretty dead on. This is one of my most favorite 7750 based watches. I Hope this helps. Let me know if you pull the trigger, and we'll do a side by side comparo via pics.

Yeah, if you have (easy)access/url to the right gen photo, I'll switch it out in the post...that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little hands for the sub-dials should also be white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I wish Bricky would have seen this thread when he was a wee young poster sorry this gen is not ss BTW did you know there was a MÉCA-QUARTZ FLIEGERCHRONOGRAPH as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Another "t swiss t" issue. I had not previously noticed no "t"'s on the rep. But, IMHO, paint those subdial hands white and you have a pretty darn good rep. The year of IWC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 The year of IWC. Yet... still no big pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, IMHO, paint those subdial hands white and you have a pretty darn good rep. The year of IWC. Studying the pic in my 2005 catalogue it looks as if the minute hand may be too short. The Spitfire chronograph face appears to be much more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
