I'm still choosing between these two, still haven't made up my mind.
Any input from the IWC experts here?

The 3717 dial is black and darker than 3777. Markers seems whiter than 3777 hence the AR looks better than 3777.

3777 looks better on my wrist but seems when I adjust the hands, it doesn't as smooth as the 3717. Also there is an "empty movement " when I wound the crown

I will incline more to the model that I like more, built quality comes 2nd.

3777 bracelet is much better than 3717 and quite handy with the slide adjuster

It's a decision of personal taste. I like the modern face of the 3777 more than the 3717. And the 3777 seems to be much bigger, than 3717 and bigger than it is! Good for big wrists. My personal IWC favorite!

I think the 3717 looks better.
What size wrist do you have?
If on the smaller side the 3717 will look more proportional and hence better looking on you in my opinion.

personaly I think the 3717 (darker dial) looks better

I do like the circle texture on the other's chrono dials though

are these the ones considered super rep? they don't suffer from the @6 problem?

Both are nearly super reps. You won't find much better reps ootb. And no, they don't suffer from the sec@6 problem. They have are "normal" 7750 configuration with running second @9.

I have chosen 3777 :) but damn.... It was a struggle to resize the bracelet and i decided to go with a kevlar soon. Taking off the bracelet was the hardest thing to do for me.
My wrist is about 7inch. Here's a wrist shot with a croco strap that i borrow from my Hamilton.

Hi Mirage, I just ordered Kevlar strap from ebay last night. Looking forward to receive it.
PS: I envy your AR on 3714... it's stunning!

I wish I had only a small part of your photographic skills, Mirage! Is that beauty with Sunnydale AR?

@Trinity: this was the better choice!

My guess is he was shopping at a local rep dealer. I had to make the same choice when I chose my 3717 as well. The 3777 being the latest model definitely had the looks and updated bracelet. But I preferred the 41mm 3717.

Thanks for the comment, This photoshoot was done with the standard rep AR. I took care of placing a dark surface in front of the dial to avoid reflection this is why the AR look so good.... cheater!!! :)

Butr now I need to do an update shooting with my new Sunny's AR!
