TeeJay Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Personally, I'd go for the 3717 but put it on a leather strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkerouac Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I would opt for the gold case version of the St. Exupery..... but not at the premium prices currently being asked for this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 3717 all the way for me. Who would wear a Petit Prince watch? Not me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 The 3717 ALL THE WAY....best looking dial on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Agreed, i have recently seen such an abundance of 3717 pics. Like Pugwash with the ETA wheels swap..OMG what a nice looking watch, oh and defintely on leather.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 3717. Hate those shiny subdials of the Exupery. Remind me of asian 21j reps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 well.......I went for the st.exupery because of it's distinctive design as opposed to the 3717, which is great, but looks so much like every other IWC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 well.......I went for the st.exupery because of it's distinctive design as opposed to the 3717, which is great, but looks so much like every other IWC. Ditto...I went for the st exuprey as well....the brown dial is awesome and I already have several black faced chronos. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has the St Exupery models? Can't see them on Joshua's site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 That sub-dial at 9 should be brown on the SS Exupery is that right? But it's correct for the rose gold I think. Gen: It is a very interesting piece...I could be tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 500 were made with the three subdials in white/silver. These are white gold models, so the three white/silver subdials are accurate. It's a rarer model. Truth is, no one excluding IWC dealers (who stock them), will ever question it, rare as it is. it's a very attractive, distinctive look, and my watchmaker (who sees all my reps) was awed by it.

Jawo Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 3717 for sure. I bought an ETA movement from ebay that's getting sent off to The Zigmeister for a transplant and relume. I also ordered a gator strap from HkTan. The Exupery looks great, but I can't seem to get over that crappy date font. The fact that the caseback has a #1 serial also screams rep to me.

Richard Tracy Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 It's Hard to find a good brown dial watch,.. and they look great with certain clothes,... If I had to choose one,.. I just couldn't,.. would have to have both ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 500 were made with the three subdials in white/silver. These are white gold models, so the three white/silver subdials are accurate. Genius thinking!! Or maybe it's the one platinum version!! The watch deserves a fantastic strap to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
