New Arrival - IWC 377724 Pilot Chronograph
I've been on the hunt for a pilot watch for quite a while. There have been multiple strong contenders. Just when I thought I was ready to pull the trigger, I would then see another piece.
Now, for the record, I'm not a fan of NATO straps. I probably never would have even considered this pieces until I saw some wrist shots on another forum, especially on the Santoni strap. My 6-year old nephew stated it best, "You're always looking at that watch. You're obsessed with that watch!" That's when I knew it was time to pull the trigger.
I actually ordered a custom Pilot strap first:
Flew down to NYC to visits the IWC boutique on Madison Ave to acquire a deployant clasp:
Much better - although I have to admit I was starting to take a liking to the NATO strap:
Although this is a 'Tribute' to their Ref 3706 Fliegerchronograph, it's not a LE piece. It's 43mm x 15.3mm; the 3706 is 39mm x15.5mm. Currently, this is interestingly only e-commerce through IWC online boutique until October.
Best,
Mark
It does look good. Your new pilot chronograph.
I really like your new strap. I believe its Santoni. Continue to wear and enjoy your watch.
Cheers! 
Geross.
Handsome watch. although i think it will be better in 40-41 mm
Mine (old model) says hi.
Looks great...
I've been thinking about picking up a 3706 to complement my Mark XV for a long while but I haven't been able to find a nice one. I'm also not sure about the 39mm diameter coupled with the thickness of the 7750, so this new 3777 variant may fit the bill. I'm waiting until they are released to ADs in the fall so that I can check the watch out in person but I have a feeling it's going to be my next watch purchase.
