HBB IWC 3777 Review

Recommended Posts

higginsd

Lug size is 21mm. The end links won't fit AFAIK because of the different position of the holes for the stems inside of the lugs.

Could one of you guys share the lug size on these? I'm thinking of getting the bracelet for my franken 3717. Also, are end links solid? Thnx!

21mm on the 3777 and 3717.

 

Don't hold your breath for the bracelet to fit the 3717 though because it doesn't. Not even nearly, at least not on my two. I wish it did because the 3777 bracelet has a near gen-like look and feel and the bracelet which came with my 3717 is at the $100 rep level. Worse than that actually.

 

I've taken a few pics and rather than crap this thread I'll start a new one.

Mine has just arrived and just added genuine croc strap looks great.

 

Is there an beginners guide for checking the crown? As i have been waiting two months for this watch so want to keep it in one piece!

Do you mean the pushers?

anyone tried using the rep 3777 bracelet on a gen 3777 watch/can confirm if the sizes match etc? The gen bracelet is ludicrously expensive so could be a good option for my gen 3777 as a change form the gen strap... cheers

Impossible to answer without trying this out.

 

Why don't you try it out? If you have a TD who knows you good he will sell you a spare 3777 bracelet. It's cheap, I paid $100 for my spare bracelet. If it doesn't fit to the gen - sell it again in member-2-member sales. No problem to find someone interested.

Your pictures make me remember a jewel inside my safe... :D

 

Can you tell us some details of the strap? A nice alternative.

Just bought one from V6. Seeing this one still running after two years makes me hope it will last at least the same time..

 

What is your secret?? ;)

 

Thank you for your feedback!

Mirage's secret? He is not only a skilled photographer, he is also a skilled hobby watchsmith. So a full service on the movement - regulary every 3-5 years - will help you to have many, many years of fun with your watch.
