Every time there is a LPP for sale I have to hold myself back to buy just because it's such a nice watch :D

Wear yours in good health my friend :)

Seems like I tend to have rare birds :D

This one here is a real keeper though...it's going to be my oldest sons watch one day. He loves everything about the petite prince :)

I plan to franken it further in the future. Gen hands and a gen crystal would be great addition I guess :)

It's an easy upgrade but you need gen date wheel too. :)

No doubt gen dial is the big step up.

Do all three of those have applied indices?

No, only the BP is applied and super lumniova.  The chrono 3777 and the mark xvii are printed (non-lume).

Great parts source: http://www.scotchwatch.com/IWCparts.html for various gen stuff:  x-tals, hands, crowns, tubes, etc.  outfitting a 3777 with the gen works will run about ~$1200 in parts not including the movement.  I may go that route over time.  We'll see!

Thanks mate...I know scotchwatch already and don't like them. Not only that they are ridiculous expensive...they are snobish too!! I'll get my stuff elsewhere...with this watch I have the time to wait :)

 

And...btw...to get a gen dial from them you have to provide a gen dial to them for exchange...
