    Due to problems with orientation of portrait pictures from my iPhone, I try to
    upload now.

    Hi Tilo,

    Love the Pilot chronograph! I'm curious...it looks like a reference 3706 with
    tritium markers, but the dial shows no "T" next to "Swiss Made." Can you
    explain?

    Edit: I think I figured it out. Is that a reference 3777-24? That would
    explain it!

    What a magnificent old timer!

    from what year is this Smith & Wesson?

    Exactly it's the tribute to 3706 which is in fact a 3777 with Superluminova
    with vintage Patina look , not Tritium.

    It was never in the catalog book and not on the website anymore. Was only
    available online.
    Here on current steel bracelet.

    I was very
    tempted by this 3777.24 as it would be the perfect mate to my Tribute to
    MarkXl

    But ultimately I couldn't justify it as my 3717 seen here with it, is very
    similar etc.

    Beautiful watch indeed!

    Mark, it looks like you need a little help. Similarities? Sure, but consider
    all the differences.

    The reference number is a whole sixty numbers different!

    The 3717 is a whole 1,000 micrometers smaller!

    The straps are COMPLETELY different!

    Propeller hands versus Mo.D. hands, I mean, come on!

    The day and date displays are completely opposite one another!

    Even the Arabic numbers do not look the same!

    Each second divided into teeny tiny parts on the 3777!

    The sub-dials on the 3777 are BIGGER!

    The color of the markers and hands of the 3777-24 are so warm and inviting!

    Have I convinced you yet? :) Kidding, of course. The 3717 hits the sweet
    spot for a lot of Pilot Chronograph lovers. I just happen to be one who likes
    the extra 1,000 micrometers (okay, one measly millimeter) and prefers the
    larger sub-dials. The Ministry of Defense hands and the warm, creamy color
    lume push me over the edge. I'm hoping all goes according to plan and I have a
    3777-24 to share later today. Shout out to Tilo for the reminder that such a
    "perfect for me" watch exists!

    Thank you
    Time Exposure for
    the great effort of enablement, but I feel I have bases adequately covered
    with Tribute to MarkXI and 3717.

    Good Luck and I hope you secure a 3777.24

    I had several of the best enablers with me at the Schaffhausen Boutique when
    that pic was tacken, but ultimately they were unsuccessful in their bid to
    entice my Credit Card out :o)
