tore71 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm a newb and I would like you to help me to identify the flaws on this watch. Only markers at 3,6,9 are lumed. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 DAtewheel needs to be changed to an ETA one, 3-6-9 markers are crooked and it needs AR. Apart from that a pretty nice watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makubex05 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 You got the v1 with the 3,6,9,12 lume which is closer to the gen. That is a good start for a nice project. Get it relume, change the date wheels with ETA and send the crystal to double ARer and it looks like a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peyups Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think he said 3,6,9 are only lumed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhes4 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Here is my modded 3717. The mods include k2222 AR ETA DW The Zigmeister relume ETA 7750 Looking at your pics, the marker is a bit crooked but you can fix it if you want to get it relume.

Get it relume, change the date wheels with ETA and send the crystal to double ARer and it looks like a gen. Thank you all for your precious help. It is lumed at 3,6,9 and 12. The seller told me it was a V2 What do you think? I am not an expert but markers at 3,6,9 are crooked. AR doesn't look that bad to me but beeing my 1st watch I'm not the best judge. I'd love to have my watch modded (relume and DD wheel swap) by Master The Zigmeister (since I am based in QC - Canada it would be even nicer) but I've read that is not available. Since I travel a lot to Europe I could have it modded in Europe too. Any suggestion in this regard? Thank You Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 From the pics the AR looks pretty decent. I would just replace the datewheels personally, it will tranform the watch completely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tore71 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 From the pics the AR looks pretty decent. I would just replace the datewheels personally, it will tranform the watch completely! I alredy ordered the DD wheels from Cousins to start my 1st project. Now I have to find a reputable modder in North America or EU. Congrats rhes4 yours is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briank996 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I never understood why people ask this question. The answer will never be 'there are no flaws' and the ones you learn about will only make you like the watch less. Ignorance is bliss.

The answer will never be 'there are no flaws' and the ones you learn about will only make you like the watch less. Ignorance is bliss. I guess nobody expects to find no flaws but to understand what are the flaws then mod accordingly the watch to make it better. I am new here so maybe I've misunderstood the forum goal and policy. Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe that sharing pictures can also be informative on actual watch versions for the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 All good tore71 you are asking questions about your new watch...Nothing wrong with that. The 3717 is a beauty and with the datewheels and better AR ( Chiefs double AR looks fantastic on this watch ) it is as gen as they get.
