      I am with David on liking 3717 more. Although been eyeing the ingenieur for quite sometime. Nonetheless, both are a beautiful and simple yet elegant watch. Can be dressed as well turn to a rugged watch with a change or strap. Go for it snowman.

      Tough, heavy and ready! = IRON HEART

          That's just classy. Makes me want a vintage 5 now.

              3717 is a stunning watch, totally agree, it's what got me looking further into it. I ended up on IWC itself, and then really fell for the 3777. The red arrow on the date window, really does it for me. Sets/balances the red @ 9pm dial. Who knows the 37x7 may even be out by the time I do anything, but yeah wow.

              Do it brother!!!!!

                  Giles, watch and strap (!) look great together. More info on the strap?

                          great read Graeme, thank you for posting.

                          not bad for a very inexpensive everyday "beater" i love how the cal window is all blacked out & the brushed muted case. it's the little things  🙂

                            Seiko 5's are solid. Nice watch MM.

                                  LOL, I've started saving for a/the IWC. Am going to collect On-Call Money + Daily coins. Should take a few years, and by then I'll of earnt it. If it arrives faster, work will have called me a F*ck ton, so another reason to get.

                                    Portuguese is one of my all time favorites.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                        I'm anti-IWC in general (they charge too much for their class of watches vs. competitors imo) but the Portuguese is beautiful.  I'd break my rule for one of those.
