Btw, I'm getting my tag1887 tomorrow... Can't believe I will get this one but it's really
Value for money and nice looking dress watch!! Poisoned by Mr Danny!!!

Iwc3717 uses 7750 and I used to owed 2 before, both sold because I don't like the 7750 rotor wobble when u swing your write.. It's a very accurate watch and iwc did adjusted it to 5 positions this model also value for money... I'm not sure the retail now but I think its around 16K.. PM me if you want to check out details and discount..

If you like chrono, maybe can check out other brand or the iwc splitfighter (same as 3717 but in White dial, at least this one less being spotted)

Good luck;)

Scott - Did you managed to get yourself he 1887?

Ya ya... I bought myself a 1877 silver dial

... But haven't got it yet it's still on te way from the supplier to my AD

finger cross it will arrive safely and soon

Btw, this model will release its 3rd dial/desgin version soon... First version, tachymeter ok bezel; 2nd, no techymeter; 3rd (soon release and sell in US and the rest of the world), techymeter inside the inner bezel.

The 3rd version will have black, silver and white dial

I think the one with the tachy bezel was still prototype but the production version is the one without.

So technically if they come out with one its technically the 2nd look or version only hehe.

Hello all. actually this is my first time writing on this forum. it seems so hard for me to decide which one to go for between these three timepieces. i hope u all can help me doing a better decision. here are the details:

1. IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph : http://www.iwc.com/collection/pilots/IW3717/

2. Chopard Mille Miglia Gran Turismo XL : http://www.chopard.com/en/classicracing.aspx#/en/classicracing/collection/168997-3001/

3. Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date : http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/carrera/men/carrera-automatic-chronograph-day-date/index.lbl?w=CV2A10.FC6235

hopefully u all can provide me with the good reason why these watches better than the other and if possible u can give me the detail of the authorized dealer which can gives me a good discount. thanks u soooo much!

Personal opinion:

1. IWC 3717 - I'd rather get the Damasko DC56 (http://www.damasko.de/eng/dc56-black_technik.htm). Cheaper, better case. I have the DA36, except for the strap, it still look like the day that I bought it.

2. I always associate Chopard with high end luxury jewellery. Happy Diamonds anyone?

3. The only Tag I like is the Link Chronograph Calibre 36 (essentially an El Primero 420 movement). And it has a pretty nice bracelet to boot!

But then again, regardless of movement, aesthetics, and whatever not, always buy the watch that you dream of.

Happy hunting.

That's why i never look into it

but honestly, each brand has it good and bad... but value for $ really depend on your personal preference.. it's really hard to say which brand to go for...

You got it exactly right bro!
The forum can only give ideas and maybe technical comparison which you might or might not have considered before.
At the end of the day no matter how people say this or that watch is good or not, you are the one spending the hard earned money on it and thats what counts.

Finally, after so long surveying to make the best decision (including PAM 000). I decided to go for IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph. It is a really fine piece of art, engineered only for men

and very precise in build quality. I never regret on this purchase. Im a very happy and proud IWC owner right now

Congrats bro on your purchase. I myself is a big fan of IWC watches too. Care to share the pics of your new beauty? Can wait to see them.

Cheers!

Maverick27 · « **Reply #41 on:** May 05, 2011, 02:43:34 PM »

Congratz. I need to hav an IWC one day. On my list now is Mark15 or 16. But preowned ones are hard to come by.

I agree, IWC is on a different planet to the rest.

TAG...well...one of those "tak heran" brand nowadays....overrated, over priced, over hyped in my opinion. Worse still if they are quartz!!

I just did a count of watches in my safe, 26 TAGS 17 of them quartz , guess My watch collection sucks ... ha ha ha ... But still,replying to this thread, I'd say IWC, but watch is a very persional thing, I have some bell & Ross, overpriced ETAs, but hell, it's my fav. Sinn is just a German case with a 7750. Omega is so common.. jean Rcihard, own movement, so what, no second hand value, Rolex is a rolex, blah blah blah.... this and that lah ...actually the only question you should ask is, " Do you Like it?"

Congrats on your new found love the The Pilot Chrono and may there will be many more IWCs in your collection. Next step is to get something which is in the Dress watch collection maybe a Portuguese auto 7 days that is a great looking watch at the front and even at the back case. Anyway enjoy It !

Cool ! But please always practice the 6.30 watch hands position before you change the day or the date which you should practice on all mechanical watches but if you already know treat it as a refresher. Thanks for the positive feedback, cheers!!

Maverick27 · « **Reply #49 on:** May 10, 2011, 04:41:06 PM »
