anotherfish Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi the most acurate version of the 3717-02 (spitfire chronograph) has one big flaw it has an incorrect back on it. (Writing is wrong + wrong font, wrong layout, see Toad's excellent review for more details) example here http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=179 However on this cheaper version the back is (visually) much more acurate: http://www.jpc8118.com/iw02109-pilot-chron...ing-p-4695.html Does anyone know if it would be possible to switch the case backs?

Perhaps there is no way of finding out without risking the >$130 on the low grade rep. (I have the 7750 version on order). I'll email those websites and see what they say.

anotherfish Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sorry to self bump but does anyone have a view on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm guessing they would probably fit...wouldn't know without trying. It's got the ringed letters, and the polished section...so it is closer. You could try writing a dealer and seeing if you can buy just the caseback.
