15-17K Budget

I recently let my 3717 Pilot's chrono go...but then I started to get the IWC itch again. And somehow the mark III bracelet on this Mark XVII was appealing. It is a bit of a struggle as on one hand...I seem to be moving towards watches of a smaller diameter. On the other, this clean looking watch is very attractive in it's own seductive way.

Similar to you I also didn't have anything pulling me towards Panerais and Rolexes. However, after trying a Rolex on, I was smitten by a particular model and never looked back. Panerais, however, will have to keep working it's magic on me...

Back to the OP, I would also try out the Rolex Explorer I

im now in delimma.... theres a nice used 3777 chrono in the members sales forum, but im still leaning towards a new mark xvii (1 reason is that i prefer a large seconds hand on my watch)

you are not keen on the 3777 ?

I think the chrono suits you better

I like both. Mark xvii with metal bracelet is about same Price as the chrono with leather. I really love the iwc bracelet

As a daily beater watch the mark xvii is lighter and less 'showy'. But I'm still making up my mind.not yet confirm which one I will end up with
