IWC quietly introduces a 3716 on a bracelet
I am of the opinion that it will be something to get used to after all these years. To me, it looks like an aftermarket bracelet. Review and pictures from Monochrome. monochrome-watches.com Picture: Monochrome ...
Funny/awkward
Launching a bracelet option after 25 years in the market of this reference, this was bound to raise eyebrows
Exactly! No harmony between the case and bracelet

Hmmm this doesn’t look right...
I just sold my 3714 white dial blue hands after almost 15 years of ownership. An awesome watch. Never serviced. Run smoothly as new. The original 3714 is a true classic. But please... on a matching strap 😂

I'm not an IWC purist but
I like the bracelet... I think it gives a clean bright, sportive presence to a watch that was 'only' dressy before. IWC does not have a definitive bracelet watch these days... (like AP or Rolex let's say) and so... why not this bracelet? There is no IWC b...
