...i must say that the 3417 and 3483 share some similarities as well as some differences too. Having saids that, I must say that having the 3483 on my wrist these past two days has been more exhilarating than anything i can remember since the 5070 or 1665 Mk2.... it has really taken my breath away. In that sense, I am totally delighted with it. At 35mm i find its size very easy to wear..i very much look forward to showing it to you next time we meet.
