    Well, my fears unfortunately ended up getting confirmed. After putting down a deposit for a Pilot Chrono 3717-01 in March with an AD, IWC had confirmed 2 weeks ago that they cannot promise delivery of the watch (AFTER MONTHS Of WAITING... ARG).

    I posted about this back in May (www.iwc.com/forum/en/discussion/57180/?page=1#post_405130)

    My AD is offering me the 3777, however I am not quite sold on it 100%. I've tried it on, and while it is a good looking watch, I just don't like how much busier the dial is compared to the 3717. The 3717 looks way more balanced and is certainly a classic. And I'm having a tough time with the concept of paying more for an update which I like less than the predecessor.

    That said, I was wondering if anyone in the forums has seen a 3717 at an AD in recent days. I am located in South NJ and would need it shipped if outside of driving distance.

    I know supply is pretty tight now with the 3777's in the showcases for several months now. But never hurts to ask :)

    You can shoot me an email at: jeff (at) jeffspot.com if you have an AD contact I could give a shout to. Thanks in advance for any help you could provide!

    Ah, sorry about that Michael! It was recommended in my other thread that I post up my city so that others her may help. Now noted :)
