This is excessive. And how they managed to cut some numerals while making the watch 2mm bigger than the original is a mystery (and a mistake).
Plus. it's even thicker than the original. Surely, in 2021, there are technical improvements that would have helped keep the watch thinner.
A swing and a miss, which is sadly the norm at IWC for a number of years now.
Let’s try this again . . . A wrist shot of the Tribute to the 3705, the IW387905!
Since I “jumped the gun” last time! Price is slightly better at $11,900 USD . . . BUT, I think I will stick with my IW377724. Although the diameter is 41mm, I believe the lug-to-lug length of this Tribute to the 3705 is the identical to my 43mm piece. ...

I wish they would have stuck with the original dial font
It's not bad, but it's not worth $12K to me. I'd probably opt to buy a 3706 for a fraction of the price and forego the ceramic case or, if I wanted the more modern dial, I'd go for the new Spitfire chronograph for $6K - same movement as the Tribute.
Absolutely - vintage 3706 represent good value and start to show their soul
Movement is so so but overall, it is a coherent tool watch proposal. And day date chronos are relatively rare
It’s a nice tribute but...
Way overpriced... At this price, I would rather pay for the vintage double chrono limited edition 3786 (pre Top Gun) and still have some spare cash
Not bad but not great either
They could have done a better job with the dial, it looks a bit off like they tried too hard to fill the space, I almost dropped my phone when I saw your previous post. At that price there's so much to choose from even from iwc, including the doppel chron...
I like it, as
1. Clear toolwatch design with form follows function philosophy 2. Column wheel inhouse movement 3.very good quality of finishing 4.inhouse material 5. Serious limitation to really 1000 pieces

Out of interest, let me post here the comment I left on Jack Forster's article at Hondinkee
"A great write-up, Jack, as usual. Now, as an owner of an original 3705 (bought in 2006, so long before the price exploded, which I blame your excellent 2016 article for, Mr Forster), let me interject: - unjustifiable case size: going to 41mm doesn't both...
My $.02
I think making the case back and pushers titanium or steel would have been better. I’m sure I’ll be alone in this comment, but I’d have like to see the superluminova in a light tan. Yup, I don’t mind the faux patina color. And keeping the full Arabics sho...
