Can you share where you got it from? Having trouble finding it as the TD pics aren't too good.

Hey Mirage, i messaged you but im sure you missed it as we went back and forth for a bit. After your research were you able to find out if there have been any improvements what so ever to the movement or is it still risky business as before?

Any feedback would be appreciated. I have gone back to look at your picks 5 times now, still drooling.

Sorry about that mate! I completely missed it you are right!

So the answer is no. As per what I have seen they have not changed anything. On TS website they even mentioned that they now carefully select the movements for better reliability.... So it is still a gamble. I love that watch so much, that I could not resist and went ahead with the gamble.

The more I look at TS website, the more I see a light tint of blue in the crystal. Mine does not have that... I'll have to order a white dial in order to compare... :)

Superb photos of a beautiful, perect watch. I hope it lasts a long time for you.

So Mary of Watch International is still in business?
May I ask, did she give you any kind of warranty on this Portu?

Well I just went and put the 3714 under fluorescent light and yes, the inner surface has a slightly blue tint. But this AR is nothing close to my TW A7753 wich has the best AR I have seen on rep.

Yes she still In. And no warranty. And when it craps out, I will not even mention it to her. Because I knew exactely what I was purchasing. ;)

How's it holding up?

Keeps perfect time still! I am getting close to 1100 hours of wrist time. Touching wood!

1100 hours they must have put a real movement in yours or a very small hamster. I cross my fingers maybe someday they will all work this well

Thanks for the info. If I knew I could get that sort of reliability I would order tomorrow...

is the watch strap this the default brown leather strap provided by your TD?
