M5Man Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Which 3717?? 01/02/04/05? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 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....

RobbieG Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 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.

By-Tor Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Man Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta8088 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 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 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Cleared customs today - on the way! Should have em in hand soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 "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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganX3 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 2 very different watches in my opinion. for myself, i would go with the IWC all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Man Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I got em both - Pics to follow later tonight! They are beautiful, the 3717 is TO DIE FOR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 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.
