Watchmeister Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I saw the gen a couple of weeks ago and actually have the IWC brochure for it as well as the 300 page IWC reference book. It looks white so I went with C1. And hopefully you will get a preview of what yours is going to look like shortly. That assumes you elected to swap the day/date wheels. The ingy is C1 I matched it up at the AD. The one I am still trying to figure out is the 3717. It is not as clear cut. I would still guess C1 on that one too. IWC does not appear to be too creative when it comes to Lume color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amplitude Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 lol isnt that the rep lume? coz mine glows that bright hehehehhe I looked at some IWC at the AD the other day, and none of them seemed to have Superluminova on them. The glow was..wan for lack of a better word. I thinK IWC uses standard Luminova. There wasn't a 3717 there for me to look at, but I did look at the Aquatimer "Slevin" and the bezel lume was really nothing to write home about.

I think a double AR run will be in order for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
