karone76 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 While in the search for Mark XVII Edition “Le Petit Prince” (Ref. IW326506) rep, I came across that V6F released this 3777-06 petit prince version. It's a 43mm and I wonder whether it can fit well on my small wrist, hence decided to give it a bet. Collected this watch from mail room this afternoon and can't wait to unpack it. Since not many review on this watch, here is my simple opinion on it:- note : please forgive my bad English ...it's so amazing that most people over here able to express and write so well...envy..envy ! The good : Accurate Rep IMHO. Typical rep quality strap but seems comfortable on wrist. Date font inline with the arrow. 2 o'clock pusher seems very hard to push but the chrono is working. Just have to make sure I always remember have to stop then follow by reset the chrono for A7750. the sunburst blue dial change colour from time to time. Honestly, I feel that it look same colour with gen in certain angle especially when not much light reflection. The back case and crown was good too. I notice the serial number is different on different watch (last digit) after compare with some photos. The bad : The sunburst effect is quite weak and the colour is more towards purplish blue in certain angle. the word 'SAT' is slightly thinner than the gen hence create a bigger spacing kind of feel. The rest of the date font seems identical. the lume doesn't stay long as normal. I wish they provide deployment buckle too. This is my first 43mm watch and seems like it fitted well. Maybe can start explore 43mm watches Anyway, still observe the time accuracy and power reserve capability. Really hope they fix the dial colour and sunburst effect on the Mark XVII edition , if they ever plan to release it. TQVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for the review. I love blue-dialed watches, but the problem on most reps is that the shade of blue used is noticeably off. This is why I held off from buying the blue Blancpain FF, after being so excited about it. Could you post more detailed photos of the caseback?

karone76 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Here you go. sorry for the bad photo quality. I do agree that the colour is off but if they fix it, it will be super rep ...somehow I don't think they will make 100% identical as a rep.
