The newer ones are in-house movement.

 

But I prefer the old ones, cos firstly, cheap to buy on the pre-owned market and secondly, the engine is a modified Valjoux 7750. Wobbly but tough and cheaply serviceable.

 

Why wait for wife? Buy it yourself :D

Sigh nowadays young people no like old lao kok kok watches leh

 

I am a "time only watch" guy but 3714 is the only chrono that strike the chord in my heart even after so many years.

 

Thanks for updating me with the news of the new movement, the old 3714 is almost perfect, the only thing I wish IWC could improve is the offset push button (the chrono buttons are not in the same plane as the winding crown, they are a little higher if you view from the side)

 

I did a quick search just now, the new movement 3714 seems corrected this, have to handle the watch in my hand to confirm this.

 

If I buy another watch, my wife will chop my hand, it is that serious, so the 3714 can only come from her  [knife]

I dun envy him owning it. I envied him being able to buy from KHH.  :a-shy:

Bro no need to envy. It’s just a watch.

Like what T2 said, the race is always with ourselves

I see so many nice watches in this thread but I don't envy.

I think T2 had one, then quickly sold it away and swore never to touch it with a foot long pole ever again :D

While I love a good heavy hitting vintage piece as much as anyone, I’ve long been an advocate for eliminating the perceptual five-figure buy-in when it comes to someone who wants to become a Watch Guy without having to make any major concessions.

..and he does have some really impressive vintage pieces
