IWC 3717 Spitfire franken

Recommended Posts

Moondustesp

This is a dream watch for me, a grail if you like. Love the gen and had a hankering for one for years. Specifically the spitfire. The dial is a true thing of beauty. Been on the hunt for a dial for a year or so to do a franken build but to no avail so when the opportunity arose to buy a completed build I snapped it up. Apparently the dial, hands, datewheels, tube and crown are genuine. Runs a swiss 7750 and to finish it off a genuine croc strap fresh from IWC with genuine buckle. Really in love with this one and just enjoy wearing it as it is a true stunner. Some terrible pics for you all the enjoy. http://DC209_B61-569_E-4_BB9-_A2_CF-52_D6_F61_C http://78_CE031_E-727_E-4_AD7-_BFAD-1750_F2740_ http://75_B3418_E-1_F0_C-4961-_A2_FA-4_AFFC907_

Also bought it a late xmas present to finish things off. Plan was to fit genuine 79320 movement but where do I stop. Basically a 7750 anyway. Still loving this and definitely a keeper (well until the next watch/build)

Got a 3714 inbound. Got a brand new geniune IWC croc strap for it and thought I would bed it in on the Spitfire. Its a 20mm instead of 21mm but fits pretty well. Few shots of it. http://403_CA14_C-_E076-4_BE0-_AFDB-9_DFF801_EB http://985846_F1-7_EE3-49_C4-_B5_C2-_C81_DF188_ http://D81_DCC9_E-8064-474_D-8_C1_C-8084_D9542_
