    After a long wait - an IWC 3717

    Been after one of these for ages. After doing the deal yesterday, it arrived this morning from hobsong1. I've been out most of the day, so was loosing the light whilst getting some of these due to a slightly prolonged wresting match with the bracelet to get it off (as is often the case with really well fitting bracelets), so I could fit the straps.





    on the Kevlar strap


    on the Croc


    and a fairly poor lume shot to finsh off


    This watch is class - I love it.

    Very nice, looks great on the kevlar style strap, but why did you change so quickly from the bracelet?

    Class indeed, what are the circles on the underside of the bracelet for, adjusting i presume?

    Just wanted to get it photographed with the straps that were included on the deal, but I'll probably wear it on a strap most of the time anyway. It is after a Pilots

    Yes - they're for link removal. It's a very good system & is used on most (if not all) IWC bracelets.

    Lovely, I would have to keep it on the bracelet though :D

    Looks very nice all round but i'm with Bob on this one and would definitely keep it on the bracelet.

    Congrats - great choice!

    A very versatile watch with the different strap/bracelet options, from elegant to cool.

    Cheers,

    Lovely, I'd very much like one of those some day (but I'd stick to the bracelet I think).

    very nice, Andy. Congratulations.

    I'm another who would probably keep it on the bracelet, but the kevlar (?) strap is a good alternative.

    Lovely Andy, well done! :)

    For me, it would spend most of its time on the croc, though I would occasionally put it on the bracelet just because it's fantastic. The kevlar doesn't work for me too well.

    Nice, I have the same set up but no bracelet :cry:
    also, the deployment clip on these is the best in the business I reckon :D
