Hey guys, before I get roasted this is my first IWC purchase and have been searching and reading but haven't come up with alot, if I happen to miss a thread please feel free to point me in the right direction.

I'm looking at these two models and besides the obvious dial differences, case size seems to be the same, is there anything I'm missing with the price difference assuming due to one being on a bracelet? I'm looking to order the le petit with a bracelet added to it from LI if possible but just looking for a little guidance before pulling the trigger, if you own either experience pros and cons on either, and pics are always nice to look at! Thanks in advance

Damn... decisions decisions! Looks great. I guess if I can't get the other model on a bracelet I'll go the other route. I would prefer leather band, but from what I have read the rep bands are not to good.

I tried ordering the IW377721, last year and was told it was discontinued. Is it back?

The picture is amazing. Do the chrono functions work? I'm interested in a chrono and aside from the fact that the noob daytona reps aren't purchasable now, I've read if something breaks it's really difficult to repair. Is this the same with the IWCs?

Of course all function do work... it's like the gen a ETA7750 chrono movement, here the chinese clone. Rep experienced watchmakers can handle it without problems.

Very nice, I am considering one. Would you say the dial is a bit purple looking or accurate to gen's blue shade?

I have a 150 years edition that I maybe want to sell. To many white dials in my collection.

Im following this model since years.
I have the previous version, and i also had the one in the picture above. The dial can look a little bit purple, under warm indoor light, but mostly its just blue. However, it is not the same tone as the gen. It really is not.

Gen vs ZF rep, under warm light.
To be fair, the ZF looks mostly blue, and not so purple like on this picture:
