Flaws in 3717?
- Thread starter itseme
- Start date
the only serious flaw in mine is that i can't get it off my wrist. my other watches are getting dusty.
actually mine has a misaligned 6 marker. datewheel font is wrong and wheels don't line up.
these can all be fixed so not too worrisome.
that said it is an excellent watch. one of my all time favorites.

- Date font
- Poor AR compared to the genuine
- Maybe pushers should be a bit larger but i'm not sure
Yep...my 9-o-clock marker is crooked too, not a big deal after all (though the dealer waited 3 weeks to ship it saying there was a quality control issue
)

Using small tweezers, slowly adjust the markers to align. The markers didn't drop off - I've adjusted them for > 1 month now
No guarantees for you though!

Yes, the numerals on the prototype or early models--whatever was used for the photo shoot in the catalog--are thinner than any gens I've seen. Every 3717 gen I've seen looks pretty much just like the rep.
1 AR is not strong enought
2 Pinnions are dark brown - should be silver
3 Date font
4 Gap between crown and case - my watchsmith fixed it for 10$, same for markers easy fix
5 Lume is not very strong, but ok
5 Brecelet is low quality, not even made of steel(some kind of aluminium and chip steel mix), different color than a gen too - i heard lot of stories how good it is , but that's just a lie or those folks never seen a real one. BRECELET IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO GEN! You can forget about it
You can fix all those flows for about 300$ + nice strap

Pugwash - that photoshop pic is mesmerizing. I spent more than 10mins just staring at it!
My bro actually has a GEN Mark series. The bracelet is close IMHO

It's not the same quality, color and type of steel. Maybe when You look at it it's close, but when You compare side by side the rep brecelet look very very bad
