500107 brand new is now in HK$99,000(USD12,690).

#2!

I would go with #2, the blue hands agains the silvered dial looks great.

I have both the gold and blue handed versions now. The blue hand version really stands out.

NCD1979 · 27 January 2013, 01:22 AM

If I have to choose...Door #1...

ROLEX2447 · 1 February 2013, 02:46 PM

Never heard of these,but I like #3 and wifey looked and pointed at #2...F.W.I.W.....

dalip · 1 February 2013, 02:52 PM

No.2 would be the one for me.

DreambreaX · 1 February 2013, 05:13 PM

Watchmutt · 1 February 2013, 06:59 PM

You got replies like "maybe try to stretch and get a used Daytona", what a silly statement. This just goes to show you that most around these parts no nothing about watches, after all, the IWC 5001 has a MSRP of $12,400.00. You could get a new Daytona for that price but I would personally wear a G Shock before I wore a Daytona.

The IWC 500107 gets my vote. The blue hands against the white dial is just stunning in person. The movement is flat out beautiful, so is the overall detail of the watch.

I recently have been looking at a Baume & Mercier. They make some pretty sharp looking pieces. If I were you, I would go look at them and try them on. I have never had a Baume & Mercier on my wrist, so I cant comment on their quality, but I can say they have some very appealing designs and a nice price point.

#2

The Portuguese Chrono was the first watch that I saw from IWC and lusted over it, that was until I saw the Portuguese Auto. IWC makes impressive looking watches, I love all of the lines. So either #1 or #2 would be great!!

H_tony11 · 1 February 2013, 11:19 PM

Number 2 with strap from number 3

Maybe the guy likes to wear watches that don't require a magnifying glass and a flashlight to read?

Just FYI, the OP is asking about the 3714 - not the 5001.

To answer the OP, I'd go for #2. It's more of an all-rounder. Good luck.

Cheers!

metzger · 2 February 2013, 06:51 AM

Baume seems to have no resale value! So definitely not #3.

newbieincali · 2 February 2013, 10:54 AM

psv · 2 February 2013, 10:56 AM

#2 out of those three, but I would IWC 5001-07 in that style. A lot more money though...

Maybe that guy should stop using magnifying glasses and purchase some real ones.
