[vlydog]

[Guest asim]

I am thinking about buying this http://www.timeshops.net/IWC1213_-_IWC_Pilot_Chrono_Black_Dial_SS_LT_-_Asian_7750_28800BPH_180065-72.htm IWC 3717. Does anyone know if this is the best version out there?

Is says is has double AR, but will it still be a huge improvement to get a double AR from Chieftang?

Very nice watch!

But has the AR improved with the newer versions of this 3717?

[Panoris]

Very nice watch!

But has the AR improved with the newer versions of this 3717?

The V3 AR is pretty solid and gives off a nice blue tint. That being said, it is still not better than Chieftang's AR, which is the best I have seen, Gen or Rep.
