IWC 3717 Pilot

Recommended Posts

I took these pictures and posted them back on the old forum. The post may be gone, but the pictures remain, so here we go again.

 

This is an IWC 3717 Pilot from Andrew. I defer to the vastly superior reviews you'll find via the Best Rep Reviews Database thread here: http://www.replica-watch-guide.net/forum/i...p?showtopic=601

 

Still, this one's mine and that's what counts for me :-)

 

To summarise, it's a decent rep, the main "faults" being the date wheel font and the lack of double AR. I think there is some AR on it, and that helps, since the crystal is domed. The relative accuracy of date wheel fonts is a level of detail that doesn't worry me - you can see that it's a bit faint in the close-up photo, but you don't notice that to the naked eye.

 

I've had this one for about six months and had no problems. It has the 28,800bph "new" 7750 movement so no chronograph problems. I do like this variant: day + date and the chronos too, it's all there!

Great pics, Massimo. Watch looks pretty convincing despite the lack of double AR. :wub:
