Torn between two watches

[M5Man]

I am SOO torn between these two. I only have the funds for one at the moment with the mods that I want to do. Correct ETA wheels, double AR. I need your help RWG!

You will not regret buying a 3717.

Which 3717?? 01/02/04/05?

[dadog13]

I have both of them...I prefer wearing the Corum...as the previous poster said...you won't make a mistake getting one of the two...

the Corum is a big watch...wears like a 44mm PAM, it's made of ti so it's not that heavy...I personally prefer the Corum over the IWC, but it's a personal choice...the rubber strap is comfortable and of good quality...the engravings on the caseback are clean and nice...

with the mods you have mentioned...AR and ETA DW...this one (CACC) is really a super rep....

Not sure which is which to be honest, stainless - black croc strap - etc. Best version I can get my hands on.

Just to make your life easier...I'll even provide you more info.

- 3717-01 - black dialed Classic Pilot's (black dial) chrono with croco strap

No contest. 3717. Much more diverse and flexible. The Corum is a nice piece but more of a "fun" piece. The IWC is more "serious" and classic and timeless. It is also a more manageble size. A 48M watch is not always welcome depending on attire and circumstance.

Torn between only 2?

Well... I'm usually torn between at least 5 or 6 watches... and usually end up buying nothing. I often admire my own self control.

Alright, 3717 is winning HANDS down. That said, im on the hunt. Anyone have one that is already modded and ready to go that they want to sell?

I think I may have to do both. So torn here. Who wants to buy a gen tropic 39 Superdome?

[M5Man]

I said the hell with it and ordered both from Andrew! Can't wait for my new babies to arrive!!!! Now comes the hard part!

I was going to tell you that the 3717 gets my vote because it's just such a classy timeless watch but looks like you got both so I can't wait to see pics when they arrive.

[M5Man]

Cleared customs today - on the way! Should have em in hand soon!

[ubiquitous]

"Have 'em" as in plural?

That's the way to do it when you're trying to decide between two watches; just buy both

Edit: Nevermind me... I read two posts up AFTER I made my post

[LoganX3]

2 very different watches in my opinion.

for myself, i would go with the IWC all day long.

[Dario33]

I voted Corum -- my personal favorite super rep at moment. Datewheel swap and you are 99.9% accurate with gen (which only has single AR).

[M5Man]

I got em both - Pics to follow later tonight! They are beautiful, the 3717 is TO DIE FOR!!!

Congrats on your purchases, I voted for the 3717 as well, it looks beautiful as is, when you do the mods planned you will have a wonderful watch to sport around town. And the Corum regardless of it's larger size should feel great for those days that allow you to use the short sleeve shirts..

Post pics when you get a chance, we'd love to see them.
