IWC 3717 with improved datefont

[jeroen1985]

Hi all,

I read on the forum that the IWC 3717 now is double AR coated. But does it also has the ETA datefont?? If yes, where can I buy this improved IWC 3717?

Thnx,

No; They just use the same crap date-day wheel.......

Best Regards,

Raymond

Hi, that's really bad news. Is there someone within the EU who can change the datewheel to the ETA?

just pm him

Thank you very much! Have already read on this board about his great services, but didn't know, that he also swap Datewheels.

On the board I read something about the IWC 3717 from Joshua with the improved datefont. Can somebody verify that?

Afaik is only the AR-Coating improved on newer models...but the DW seems to be the same as we all have to change.

Someone remind me, why change the date wheel again?

AFAIK, the rep date wheel is actually more representative to the gen, although fuzzier. Whereas the ETA date wheel, although clearer doesn't look like the gen (more obvious if you compare 'WED' between rep, gen and ETA).

The numbers are far squarer on the ETA datefont, which are more accurate to the genuine, I haven't seen the wednesday font comparatively, but the the rest of the days look closer from what I have seen.
