That strap is too small for that watch. Look at the springbars showing.

beautiful!

I'm definitely going to get this one! are you pleased with the movement, the lume and most importantly the strap?
Is the strap good? because the original one is way too expensive

Strap is great! The miyota movement is doing excellent so far. Watch seems solid. FYI it looks bigger on my wrist here than in actuality. Wears slightly smaller than the AP diver, given the lugs are shorter.

VERY NICE BUILD OMEGA3 ! Wow .. you making me want to get into IWC again with those specs.


I'm not a die hard IWC fan but I've always had an itch for a pilot watch. The 3717 really does fill in the gap brother.

Yeah .. I had a BIG PILOT 5004 .. loved it but never saw any wrist time as I drifted to AP and Rlx . in saying that it is a great piece. I had it fully modded too with lume and xtal and strap. Love It ..

the 3717 is really nice. honestly, i prefer it over the 377714. the -14 is although newer (2016) and definitely looks a bit more like modern times\newer, however the subdials are a bit too big in my opinion and too close to each other. that looks a bit weird in contrast to the 3717.

how much did you pay for these modifications? the watch looks really nice! would like to do that too but i guess it is a bit too expensive for me and the ZF replicas already look pretty good and almost 1:1.
Not sure I would pay so much money for modifications, except for an eta 7750. i like the idea of being able to run the chronograph function more often. with the a7750 people say: avoid it.
if these mods are not too expensive, I might consider them...

Correct 42mm.
