Guest Sql_pl Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 So finally I got another 3717, this time for me (the first one was a gift for my father). Once again fantastic service from my good friend TWP. Keep up the good work! Like I already said in my first 3717 photo-review - it is a watch that I never thought I'll own... it did not have that thing for me when I have seen all those pics of it here... but when the first one arrived I realised I had to have one for myself. And here it is. And here it is next to its bigger brother... Later this week the crystal is going to k2222 to be double AR coated... I am also waiting for my ETA Day/Date wheels and it should be perfect.... Will post some side by side pics of the stock and moded rep later on. Cheers!

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Wow! Beautiful pics G! Truly amazing! Your day/date fonts seem to be nicer than mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Thank you for your compliments M. I got mine from silix. I did set the date to "MON 24" to compare to your. We have different date fonts. The middle part of the letter "M" of the Monday is touching the base.(makes sense or should I take a pic of it? ) And the 24 is filling a wider part of the date window.

lanikai Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 thanks for the great pics men.... i to really did not think much of the 3717 when I first looked at it.. but the markings look vintage and a watch with added history alway's appeals to me... the markings really "grow' on you for some reason... i am ordering the bracelet but have already choosen the strap from .."The Watch Boys" one question I have is "back in the day" was AR coating used as double sided, or was it used at all? thanks again lanikai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 It's one hot watch! I'm wearing mine as I type right now! Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 M. Here is a macro of the date windows on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Christmas is sooner this year !!! Just ordered one yesterday night (with a PO at the same time), it will be the 21k BPH version that I'll MOD by The Zigmeister, project will include; Relume, gen day/date wheel, swap with a swiss mvt ordered by a group buy from joe, regulate it, and maybe a croco strap from TWB with the IWC clasp. The double AR from chief is it a must on this watch? or the light AR is sufficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 M. Here is a macro of the date windows on mine. Geo, Yours looks like neither my IWC GST (Asian 7750@28k) nor my IWC 3717 (gen ETA wheels, Asian 7750@28k). Did you get the 21,600 one from Josh/Andrew?

geo1nah2a Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Geo, Yours looks like neither my IWC GST (Asian 7750@28k) nor my IWC 3717 (gen ETA wheels, Asian 7750@28k). Did you get the 21,600 one from Josh/Andrew? I got mine from Silix. I didn't get a chance to regulate it and count the vph. Will do so tonight and get back to you with that.

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) He said he got his from Silix. 21 600 bph fonts really seem to look nicer. EDIT: G, you were faster. Edited September 25, 2007 by Sql_pl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 sql_pl: They might look nicer because they are wider than the 28k but they are less accurate to the originals. (check the "MON" of the official site photos.. it is closer to your version.) I have to say this is a VERY nice watch and it goes well with a kevlar or croc strap too.

geo1nah2a Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Just finished checking and regulating the 3717. It is a 21.6vph version. Funny thing is that it has the elaborate speed setting scale a'la swiss 7750. I have had good experiences with the a7750, regardless of its vph. I have a pam196 that has been beating with no prob for more than 2 years now Maybe a bit more..Time flies. Crossing fingers since this is a gift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
