Different versions of Top Gun 3799 (Doppel Chrono)

[apah]

Dear fellow RWG-members!

 

I've been reading up on your comments and reviews on the IWC Top Gun 3799 which has gotten be eager to place an order.

 

I'd like to ask for your great expertise and opinion on whether there is an difference between the options below (different manufacturers and difference in the strap quality?):

2. http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_191&products_id=8885

 

Both are from TD whom I have great confidence for, but there's a price difference of 80 USD which makes me think that there's something I'm missing.

 

Also, to those of you whom have bought the piece, is the quality of the kevlar strap better than the croc? Which do you prefer and why?

I value all opinions and hope to be directed to making the best decision based upon your great expertise!

 

Thanks

A true beauty to look at this watch. But should we not advice that its Doppel is faux? what good is a Doppel when its actually single? unless you can source a movement, just asking...I have not had this replica myself

The faux doppel is what stopped me getting it and opted for the 44mm standard ceramic TG. Shame no economical movement options on this.

Agree with scotty !

Well, I know that the 2nd chrono function is faux. I am considering placing in a gen that makes it work somewhere down the line. I would go for the one made by V6 factory (the V2) if it wasn't for the poor strap option, lack of buckle and most importantly the screw down crown.

 

Perhaps I'm still making a bad decision in your point of view, but I don't expect people to try to push my faux chrono button

This is true! and it looks great!

I think it worths the extra 2 mm. I normally don´t use chronos, so wouldn´t use the doppel button either.
