Good evening,
I have just purchased a ceramic IWC 3705 and I am very happy with the watch. 8)
One thing bothers me though and that is that the previous owner replaced the original Tritium dial and hands with Luminova parts... :?
Is it possible to buy Tritium dial and hands so I can return the watch to the original condition?
Also, the strap is quite worn. Can anyone recommend a "kevlar" like strap similar to the one that comes with the ceramic Top Gun?
Thanks,
Nice watch, enjoy the radiation free dial. Whatever dial you change for won't be original, so I say keep it non rad!
Congratulations Frederik,
Good to see that you landed an IWC - I guess this sits better on the wrist than an Inge - is this 39mm?
I am actually thinking of an IWC pilot and are I think more drawn to the earlier version (3706)
No personal experience and no affiliation but heard on other forums about some sites selling similar types of straps - might be a start to look at least (I am sure the wealth of tzuk will come up with more/better alternatives.)

Yes, it is 39mm and it sits very well.
The 3705 is the ceramic version of the 3706. Only made in about 1.000 pieces.
It is a very nice watch and I have never received so many positive compliments, also from people that are not into watches. :)
Another thing that is very noticable is the rotor on movement. You can feel when the rotor is spinning. I have never tried this on my other watches... :? I wouldnt say it is annoying, you just have to get used to it I guess...
Due to the relative high weight of the rotor to the total weight of the watch? I guess the ceramic is light compared to steel or gold?
