Next Gen 3717

[jmt]

Hi. Looks like there is a next generation 3717 out-- the one with the double AR-- probably been out a while-- Anyway, the guys on repgeeks are saying its got the right, thin markers. And, I am wondering if it still needs the corrected DW. Do you guys know anythiing about it? And if you do, and you know about the DW, exactly what would I need to get and where to get it.

Thanks!

The DW is such an inexpensive upgrade, that I'd just do it regardless. But more importantly, I have heard that recent 3717s have had some serious QC issues. So beware.

Thanks, Chief. I searched for DW before but not QC, then after you posted, I found this thread (http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=70564&hl=3717++QC). Thx guys! You saved me a bunch of hassle!

There seems to be a new batch of dials with the text 'IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN' and the subdial marks and numbers in grey instead of white. Has anyone noticed this too?

I was about to send payment for one, but I read that it has lume on the numbers as well, does anyone have one to confirm?
