which IWC would you choose? 3717 or 3714

[turboducky]

Planning to get my first IWC but am stuck between 371701 or 371401. The pilot is cheaper by ard 2k and i really like the dial - the overall design is geared towards sporty...but 371401 Portuguese really take my breath away. it is just simply stunning. Tried in sincere vivo a few weeks ago and i still cannot decide cos 3714 is 2k more... not sure if i can justfy the premium.

Anyone facing such a dilemma before as well ?

I think if you wanna get the Portuguese, get the 7Days as it's in-house movement & it's a very reliable, think someone is selling one pre-owned around S$9000. Good luck

Another 'dream' watch for me . Recently got a friend who visited HK to check the price for it but it wasn't good. IIRC, it was about S$5.6K+ after conversion and discount. Do you mind sharing your purchase price and where exactly in HK you have purchased it?

just spend a little more and get a BP or portugese 7 day (5004/5001) on the grey market.

IWC had a price hike in HKG effective 1-June. 3717 price has increased by HKD3,000 (approx. SGD480). When did your friend visit HKG?

You've got PM.

OIC... then the price your friend quoted should be based on the adjusted price already.

Cheers x2

Hi bro,

My first post.

Thanks for some good forumers such as noobzpro & ithg25, finally could not resist the temptation and hooted an IWC Pilot Chrono yesterday.

Here are some of my precious! Got to say, it is a beaut and I will never get tired of looking at it!












Cheers

A handsome watch indeed. How about some wrist shots when you can ?

nice watch. wecome to the club. no offense but your wrist look pretty small. what size is your wrist? just curious.

[wrxykh]

6.5", looks small from the photo (top down view), but it is actually just nice when view from normal angles.

I enjoyed those pics. Like the watch too.

Tx for sharing
