3714 V3 Review

It is running just fine! It even received a special treatment lately: AR from sunnydale!

 

[TauHway]

Think I may take the risk and jump on board with one after all. The ardoise dial is really spectacular

Sorry for gravedigging, but I have some questions and i feel like your the one to help me!

-How is the movement running? Any Problems?
-Where do you have this strap from? I love it!
-Which dealer would you recommend to buy exactly this model?

Your watch is perfect just as it is on the last picture! Couln't be better!

Does that mean you added AR onto the glass?
How? (Excuse the question, I"m a newbie at this).
Also interested in how its running, as i'm tempted to buy one. How often have you had the watch serviced?

Hi guys! It happens I was just wearing this watch yesterday again. Still keeps excellent time. I am wearing it once a week as part of my rotation pool.

My Strap comes from http://www.lpvbespokeleather.com/

I got this watch from my preffered TD, but they all can get this watch if still made. Ask around.

I had the crystal treated with Sunnydale's special coating. Too bad he does not offer this service anymore because this is probably the best AR quality I have ever seen, Genuine AR included...
The process to get AR coating done implicates the crystal to be physically removed from the watch, send to a coating factory. They will strip/remove existing coating if any and treat the crystal.

Hope I answer your questions.

Man, this is my favorite IWC besides the 3777 but couldn't get myself to buy it. Living with the fear that the watch might stop anytime I wear it cuts it for me.

I stop mine at night by pulling the crown in order to extend its life.

I never saw a taxi or bus or truck breakdown when I'm in India even if the bus is 30 years or more. But I do see lots of super car broke down everywhere.

Does keeping it run non-stop prolong it's life like those bus that run non stop 24 by 7 whole year round, or stopping it and running it periodically make it last longer?

The way the secs@6 mod is done I would say that continuous running will wear it out quicker and you will be at more risk of a failure

Hi. Thanks Mirage.

In the website TS watch, Toros... it's annonce 12.5 mm.

In the website of InTime and Puretime, it's annonce 14 mm.

The Gen is 12.3

I think that every watch have a thickness 14mm but I want the smallest thickness.

I'll do some research

Sorry for my English… :blush:

 

[Davidms12]

Fyi just measured my 3714 and its 12.5mm

also couldn't resist so I've ordered a 3714-32

 

[teimoso]

12.5 ? Great !

What is your TD please ?

 

[shewie]

@Mirage

[idinwo01]
