    I recently bought a ref 3711 Pilot doppelchronograph, the first edition of the
    pilot's doppel and I was very happy with that watch in the collection.

    Last week, I saw another doppel and must admit that this beauty slipped my
    mind. The Spitfire doppelchronograph with the two tone dial.

    I rememberd then that I once had one on the wrist and was amazed by the
    compxity of the dial with the applied numerals.

    At 44mm, it is a watch that gets a lot of attention when you wear it.

    So here it is, joining the first doppel.

    Any other collectors who think the same about the 3718 ?

    Congrats Tonny! I recently added also a Doppelchrono to my collection and I
    love it.

    Well done Mister Berteloot. Wear it in good health and make sure to time your
    swimming lap segments.

    Very cool doppel Tonny, I had forgotten about this one as well. Gorgeous dial
    and I love the detail on the pushers as well.

    Wow! That's a really beautiful watch, Tonny. I love watches with white or
    silver dials and black subdials and small red accents make them even more
    attractive! A watch with this colour code would be very welcome in my
    Collection.

    Enjoy it!

    Philipp

    I like both references very much.The reference 3711/3713 is the classic,
    especially on the pyramid strap. The reference 3718 is visually more modern,
    perhaps even more fashionable. Both are wonderful watches! Congratulations!

    Here is my Doppelchronograph

    Cheers! Sascha
