IWC 3777

I have a few questions about my rep. Just got it from the post office:
1- The START/STOP chrono pusher fell off. I put it back in but it's very wobbly. Upon closer inspection I realise that both pushers are quite wobbly (the start/stop) more. I fear it will fall off while I'm wearing it and lose it completely.
Is there an fix for this or should I contact TD immediately?
2- Is the chrono SECONDs hand supposed to be slightly bent at the end?
3- How on earth do you remove links? (LOL I'm just being lazy with this one, I haven't done ANY research on that yet so don't reply if you don't want to)
[EDIT]: BOTH pushers have now fallen off and I have figured out how to remove links! Man I love this watch and I really hope I don't have to send it back!
Thanks guys in advance.
If there IS an easy fix for the pushers I would much prefer that option to sending it back!

Nevermind... just realised they are screw-in pushers... WHAT A DOPE!!!:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
(PS these links are a real B!TCH to take off aren't they?)

1. Our fix requires you to either open it up and screw it on tightly or use a dremel to get it on tightly. Please see the other 3777 related threads.
2.Yes, various IWC watches have bent hands to reduce parallax errors.
3.My wrists are large so I didn't even have to remove links. But from what I gathered, you push down the button on that one side and kind of try to pull it out. Someone might clarify/phrase this better.

That's ok I figured out how to size! Thanks anyway.
At some point I might try out the dremel fix for the pushers!
Thanks again!
You were right boy! The new black gator strap I got is a bit to wide for the 21mm lugs! :arghh: So I'm still looking for the best strap...
I put mine on the BP, looks great. And ordered a new gator strap with 21mm from my good friend Jack in france. It will reach me in 3 weeks.
Just got mine today. I have a 6.75" wrist and it feels right at home. It wears larger than a Rolex sub but not quite as hefty as a breitling avenger. I really like it. I will say that I also experienced a chrono pusher falling off. Soon as I pulled the watch out of the bag and flipped it over to checkout the clasp I heard something fall into the floor and it was a chrono pusher. I screwed it back on by hand but it doesn't get tight and it keeps spinning. I am afraid One is going to fall off while wearing it. Anyway it's a beautiful and very comfortable watch. Other than the pusher I don't have any complaints.
How much are you guys paying for Orloff strap ?
I got my 3777 strap from this guy for 130$. No need to send in rep strap. He has all the measurements done already

Who is he??? Beautiful leather and straps there!!!!! Can you share his contacts please? 130usd is a steal......
that looks really good. only thing i can say for OEM iwc straps though is that they are super soft and comfy. don't know if this is the same
Yep, OEM uses foam in their padding afaik. This guy uses calf as padding. It soft but not OEM soft..

This dremel method seems interesting, but I don't have a dremel
But we should becarefull not to turn it in the wrong direction and unscrew them !!??
BTW. I checked at the IWC authorized service the price of gen crystal for that watch and it's 184 EURO. I'm not sure if they sell it as a spare part anyway.
So, if you guys looking for the double AR in a decent price just go for Sunnydale's run as soon as possible here:

Yes thats right. Becareful when using the dremel. If you spin it the other way the buttons will fly off. It happened to me!!!........lucky I found them.
Thats why with mine I have to have the watch face down.
