dvn Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I would like to get one of river's IWC 3717 Christmas special and would like to know if it is the same as the latest iwc 3717 from other dealers. I hope to hear from someone soon before ordering. Here is the link:http://etaya.boo.jp/hon/1203-iwcss.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona4me Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) I think a k2222 AR job is tops and this watch is deserving of a high quality AR coating so I sent it off to Poland already. I took this quick picture of it before it left. I cant wait till it comes back! edit: I dont have my white balance set on my camera so the Red looks Orange in my photo. It is the correct Red color.

zzipy Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Keep in Mind River's is NOT double AR. While some collectors are offering double AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I just ordered one with the intention of sending it off to Jakub for double ar, and eta day/date wheels. After contacting with River I am told that it lacks AR, but that it is indeed the highbeat 28.8 movement. $250 shipped seemed pretty good for the 3717 with the bracelet.

takashi Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Same piece, sans double AR on crystal. There is "tinted" blue... but it's not double AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 FYI - I have seen three versions: single AR from the old slow A7750 version that is caked on like you wouldn't believe and VERY difficult to remove; single AR from the new A7750 version that is relatively easy to remove; double AR that is overly tinted and not very good quality. The double AR version has such a noticeable color to it that it actually darkens the dial. Very unattractive IMO. Of these three versions, the single AR on the new A7750 version is the best, but it's only on the inside surface. I'd suggest going with the single AR version and then doing the gen double AR yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
