Watches - another OCD problem

[Snowy]

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.

A colleague has the new 3777, although i thought i dont like the Date Display and bigger case its a very nice watch. Iwc elegance in their typical flight watch theme. Myself i prefer the 3717 or the earlier 3706 or then the old double chrono hmmm

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.

They're a really atypical brand.

great read Graeme, thank you for posting.

my simple blacked out 5:

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.

[Giles]

Yes, great taste Mr Mad…..

My first and probably only IWC and it came in a car…..

[Snowy]

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.

[Anesthetist]

That's awesome G. Love the IWCs.

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.
