Hello to all
I'm new to the IWC World.
I would like to buy a 3777 Fliegerchrono , but I'm not an expert , I would like to know what are the main flaws and problems with this model. :)


Thank you all.

I bought one. Don't know about any flaws that I could tell the difference with if I didn't have gen and rep side by side.
Problem: the chrono pushers fall off if you don't decase the movement and fix the pusher threads with loctite. I lost mine within the first 2 days.
Now the watchcase is on the way back to china, and still hasn't arrived there after a month.

Chrono pushers can fall off.
The leather strap obviously isn't as good as gen.
Some of the bracelets can have gaps at the end links.
The 3,6,9,12 markers are raised higher from the dial than the gen.

That's all I can think about at the moment. Great watch.

The HBB V6 Maker's version is more accurate than the Mark XVII maker's. The AR on HBB is not so good though.
Pusher falling are a common issue. I recommend to retighten them with Loctite (blue):

Great Rep overall, make sure to get the bracelet verision.
Here is my review of it:

Mirage , have saw your amazing thread for replace the chrono pusher. Fantastic.
But I've not the attitude for dismount a watch and I don't have the tools , and if I lose a pusher I'm in shite...... :(
It's possible fix the pushers without dismount the watch ?
Remove the pushers buttons and use the Loctite , it's possible ?
Please let me know or is until buy this watch if I must disassemble for fix the pushers... I can't.

Cheers

I don't think it's possible.

Reason: you need to secure the other side of the pusher (held together by a screwed on the inside of the case) in order to unscrew and tighten the pusher.

The pusher isn't an issue on all cases but it's better to not lose them on a $350+ watch or else headaches will not end.

If you really want this watch just go ahead and you can find someone to do the pushers for you. It should take no more than 10 minutes.

Yes mate , but it's so hard find someone in my Country that dismount a rep.
The only solution for me is a good buddy that sell me the watch.
I pay like new , if it's in perfect conditions , so this buddy can buy another new.
If I get to a watch reparator in my Country can't repair , too controls. :(
So , if someone wanna sell me a 3777 with pusher fitted , I'm happy to buy at price of new watch + shipping + work.
I live in Europe. :)

I got mine from Ryan too. Shipping was pretty quick.

You'll want to do the pusher fix right when you get the watch. If it does fall out, that's too late.
