magagne Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 The secret of success in MOD world is, patience. Sometime, honeymoon end before finishing a project, like my other IWC Mark XV, that I sold to puttputt cuz the honeymoon didn't come back strong enough when I finished the project. But for this 3717, I'm still in the honeymoon spirit so until the ball rolling, it's defetively a KEEPER. I still waiting for my Navitimer and Slevin from The Zigmeister and chief...I know they will be superb and in top notch mecanical functionality (full servicing, relume, etc. etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Very hot looking, lots of time and patience went into this one. Ho yes my friend, a lot of back&forth... change strap two times cuz I was not satisfy, problem with a jerky sec hands on chrono after isntalling the swiss mvt, etc ... and a real thanks to The Zigmeister and Chief who work to strip the factory coating on this one, it was very very tough and painful to strip. I never letting go now, it's a real SUPER REP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 With all of the mods plus the original cost of the watch, I'm sure you still saved over $2000 from buying the gen! Who needs a gen?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
