IWC 3718 Spitfire Chrono

[Monty010 1]

I received my 3718 today from Sead,

 

he's not a TD here but he is over on RWI and the Geek, i really wanted this watch, ever since i got the taste for IWC. and he had a really good deal going in it.

 

the watch looks great and has a good feel and weight to it.

 

the brown strap that came with it was really crappy as usual so i fitted my own iwc black croc and deployment,

which got a ole from the missus cause she thought the brown made it look like a old mans watch :(

 

wel enough with the chatter on to the pictures.

Very smart watch. I like the silver dial. Have you had the chance to try the lume?

I'll take a lumeshot when I get back home. But I really like it:)

Looks great. I do like the lume on the markers.

 

How do you rate the lume?

The hands i give a 9 out of 10 its the same as on the 3777. The numbers a little less but that is mainly because the there is less space to lume.

That's the best looking iwc EVER!!

 

Rock that badboy a'plenty

thanks!! This one is gonna get plenty of wrist time that's for sure

Seems like Sead has one watch at a time so it's not always helpful to know what the price was.

 

Our TDs will source one for you. Drop an email to two or three with a picture. I'd write to Kuvarsit and Watch International if I were you.

Love this watch, especially as it has that beautiful plane on the case back.

Great looking timepiece. Can anyone advise the lug-to-lug measurement on this one? Finally got my first rep (JLC NSD) sorted out after returning to Toro so I'm lining up my next purchase. This looks good but I have smaller wrists so....

Sead is a legend. After paying I gave it a few days, then decided I'd email him in the afternoon to ask for a tracking number.

 

Well I didn't have to as it arrived about an hour later.

 

Need to post pics of all this stuff and leave proper feedback. But he is as fast, if not quicker than Toro. And Toro is uber quick to the UK.

 

Monty, I was looking at one of these. Is the Luke good enough that a relume isn't required i.e. factory superlume but not Kenny radioactive?

 

Cheers,

Hey Del. the hands are superlume out of the factory. Have to say it's pretty good. The numbers are also not bad but not as bright as the hands due to a smaller surface to lume.

 

All in all Kenny would make it shine as a torch, but as it is I'm pretty satisfied

As far as i dan see the lug width is 21mm.

 

And I have pretty small wrists myself. But

The 44mm case size isn't all that big.

What would you say the lug to lug measurement is? Anything over 50 mm from lug to lug is pushing it for me.

Springbar to springbar is about 45mm on my Laureus 3717.

I have that same watch and it is a winner. Great pickup!

[Monty010 1]

It's still one of my favourites. I missed the 3717 Laureus on m2m last. But it's still on the list. But first I want my vintage Aquatimer to hit the doormat
