hello,

i am still not getting it.

1) which version has the crooked markers at 3,6,9?

2) which version has the white lume and which one has the off-white lume?

3) which one has the recessed subdials and which one not?

4) is there a V3 with V1 dial, double AR and correct datewheel font? if yes, who carries it?

V1: correct lume (just in 3/6/9/12 markers) - crooked markers though. Poor AR

V2: incorrect lume (all markers) - missing sub-dials rings (little step down) - better double AR

V3: correct lume - aligned markers - double AR

In all models DW (day/date) must be replaced by genuine ETA.

Thanks so much!

I must get V3 then. Anyone know who sells it?

Real nice 3717's gentlemen!

Well since there's a sudden resurgence in the ultra modified 3717, I thought that I'd reel out one of the first to have been fully modified a couple of years ago :)

This watch started off as an E.L. special. It from the very first 3717 batch!

I also figured I'd have HKTan make a custom strap for the 3717, so here's the first one that he made (took him several attempts to finally get the overall aesthetic/size worked out right).

Zig slapped in a Swiss 7750 (thanks to a fine member here who sold it to me) along with ETA wheels. He also performed a Superlume upgrade.

Anyhow, a historical watch for sure.

Cheers

Second question is that I live in The Netherlands and I like to know if there is a webshop that I can trust in the EU that can deliver this watch ? The delivery time from Josh and Andrew to The Netherlands is 28 working days by airline. That's a long time :mellow:

Surfer, just ordered one from PT, 18 days delivery. Also check out member Hooky... he's a great local contact for us Dutch..
