    Just arrived!!

    Just in the door is my new IWC 3777!! wanted one the first time i saw it was released after the Basel show. It is stunning IMHO of course slightly bigger at 43mm compared to the 3717.I love the altimeter day date windows all in all i think they have done a superb job. Lovely leather pilot's strap and new style pin buckle although i might put it on the deployment i have.

    Very nice, that's 2 new IWC pilots on the forum in quick succession! Great watches.

    Love it. A deployment would finish it off nicely!

    Bigger case looks good, but I'm not a fan of the open date window.

    Congratulations, that is a stunning piece. Although as someone has already mentioned, the open date is a little bit of a shame but only a tiny thing imo.

    Wow - that's really nice. I never really noticed that when it was released, I think I was too taken with the new Spitfire Chrono, but IMHO that's equally as nice - in a completely different way

    stunning, only wish it wasn't 43m as i couldn't carry it off

    same here the date is not my taste, I LOVE the Big Pilot style strap though. Pilots watches are best on straps!

    While am not a big fan of the leather strap, it is nevertheless a nice watch. Thanks for the pictures and congratulations.

    It looks great, I prefer watches on a bracelet, but thats because I wear them 24/7 I have ruined my straps so may time and thy are not cheap if you buy OEM.

    That notched strap looks awesome - IWC pilots are some of my favorites.

    +1 That strap looks like it is excellent quality.

    Re: Just arrived!!

    For me personally, 43mm is a little too big. But I have to admit that is a beautiful looking watch - I love the colouring of the dial. Congratulations. Enjoy!

    Congratulations on a beautiful watch. I'm definitely in the 'Pilot's watches look better on straps' camp :) Wonder what it would look like on a brown strap........?

    lovely, one of my favorite "pilot's". But, im not a fan of open date, i prefer the 3717 (and a smaller case is also a plus for me)
    But nevertheless, great watch!!!
