river has this for 249 shipped to the US. i have purchased spring bars from him before and he has always responded to my emails pretty quickly. i just got day and date wheels from ofrei for $32. and then ar, and day/date wheel install with jakub and you have an awesome rep.
so 250 watch + 32 day/date + 100 ar/swap/crystal removal + 10 shipping to poland = 392.

I paid something like $275 shipped via EMS from Joshua and the double AR is as strong as I would ever want it, why would you go through the trouble of sending it to Poland? Also, from what I can tell the DWs have also been corrected in this latest release.

Thanks for the pics. I just want to get mine as accurate as possible. And although Josh's offering is improved it does not seem like some of the 3717s posted by members who had the mods done. BTW River's comes with the bracelet. I will eventually get a leather or nato, or leather nato, but still want the bracelet as an option.

Over on RWI the pictures show that the crystals completely disappear. There is still a tint with yours, and is indicative of a weaker AR.

I could certainly take a picture that would give this effect. I swear that if it were any stronger it would look weird but it sounds like your mind is made up anyway. :D

I think if I had known about the price and the improved datewheels I would have gone the Josh route, but 250 shipped for a 3717 high beat with bracelet seemed like a good deal.

With AR coatings, you get a tint at certain angles, and the effect of the crystal disappearing at others. Just because it shows a tint doesn't indicate it is a weaker coating, it just shows that the light is reflecting on it at a certain angle. My gen Breitling is exactly the same, at some angles you see the tint, at others it looks like there is no crystal.

My 3717 (and CD 2006) came today and the 3717... well, its perfect. You definately would not want a stronger a/r... REALLY great looking watch. I'll post pics later.

I received mine 3717 from Trusty.

Now I want an original Strap, and another IWC.

Could you help me to choose? Inge? CD?

Max

Sorry for my late response.

And thanks a lot for Piratedzeus (or Taís Araújo) for the PM.

Unfortunately, my cam broke and I can't take photos of the watch, I'll try to fix it.

For about the question of the strap, I've ordered 2 more watches from Andrew (an IWC inge and a B&R 02) and ordered 2 straps, one for the 3717 and one for the Inge.

I've ordered the straps because of the buckle, probably I'll buy the gator strap from watch boys, when my Andrew strap get old.

Sorry for my poor english,

Max

Too bad about the cam.

Anyway,

can you tell us what is lumed on the dial?

Only the 12 3 6 9 markers?

Or the numbers 1 2 4 5 and so on too?

Of course I can tell you.

The lume is only in the 12, 3, 6, and 9 markers.

Very good and reliable A7750, keep good time, and the construction is awesome.

I'm not wearying it a lot, because I like leather straps more than bands, and in the weekend I wear watches bigger.

I'm in total love with my radiomir, that I'm wearing these days, and waiting my order from andrew.
