FxrAndy Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I have been after one of these for a while and i managed to get this V3 in a trade from Erwinner, thanks mate. Another very good mate helped too, i wont say any more about this but THANK YOU! Now first thoughts, I love it, but what is just stunning on this is the bracelet, it feels very much like the gen MK XVI one i was playing with the other day, and after a vibrating soapy bath, a bit of oil and another bath it feels sooooo nice and smooth. I also got the worlds bigest light tent for my desk, I ordered the wrong one so this a square Meter! as the computer that takes my cameras sd cars is in my daugthers room and she is sleeping i took these with my phone (again) Crap but getting better with some light!

docdoc Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) The question was just to figure out which version mine was (get it from Ruby and has the correct lume on the dial…) Edited February 18, 2009 by docdoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relox Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Excuse me for my ignorance regarging IWCs. I would like to know what movement does that watch have and which are its specifications. And, if possible, a fair price to purchase it, supposing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 First off, great watch! the 3717 is my ultimate favourite watch, yes! The V3 apparently has good AR, which judging from the pics it has, and it has an older V1 dial which is more accurate to the gen, and the pics represent that fact. The movement itself is an ASIAN 7750 upper beat, which is a work horse if oiled and looked after from the beginning. The best thing about the watch is not only the timeless look, but the bracelet is one of the most comfortable and of the highest quality, but furthermore, you can order a variety of straps especially black ones and Pilot straps which makes this watch stand out elegantly. Just superb! One of the good reps out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nice one. I have a MKXV rep. Its cheap but looks good. Your IWC would look good on a leather strap too. Anyway, nice watch.
