IWC Portuguese Chronograph Automatic IW371446 vs Pilot Chrono 3777

[ctng]

I am thinking of making my foray into IWC watches. Been looking at the Portuguese chronograph and Pilot chrono as entry-level pieces.

They're both really stunning watches, which uses ETA movement. I was hoping for your advice regarding both watches.

I'm in my early 30s, and am looking at a watch that's versatile for me to wear on a daily basis.

If you guys could advise on which is the better watch, I would be grateful. And if anyone knows where I can get 3717, please let me know. Checked with boutique, sincere.. they're all not carrying it.

Any advice re which one I should get, and any AD that you would recommend? Thanks in advance

If I am not wrong, I saw a 3717 in the WTS forum

IMHO, I think you should go for the Mark XVII! I think it looks pretty good, and I nearly got that (but got the Sub in the end, heehee!)

Think the Pilot Chrono 3777 is more versatile. Looks sporty enough in jeans and classy enough in a shirt.

My personal choice would be the 3777. The Portuguese too much of a dress watch.

u prefer 3777 too. moreover 3777 is still available first hand in boutique.

I feel tat if this is yr first watch u should get 3777, more versatile. . but if u already got watch with black face then u can consider 3714 white face with blue hand.. more dressy

Will probably get the 3777. Will be going US next month. Any recommendations for AD there?

Pricing for swiss watches higher in usa than Spore.
Forum grey dealers have some decent deals
HK n europe will have better prices
Even Thailand may have better prices.
