Just picked up an IWC 3717-02 Spitfire Chrono

Well, thanks to a friend, I am going to be the new owner of an IWC 3717-02 Spitfire Chrono-Automatic.

I contacted the seller via e-mail, and he informed me the watch is BRAND NEW, never worn/tried on, boxes, papers, warranty.

I created the thread of (on another forum) "Anyone in Brooklyn." This is where the watch is located. Steve (a member I don't even know) and I exchanged a few PMs, and ended up with Steve requesting the seller to give him a call.

I called and left a message for the seller, as well as sending an e-mail. The seller called back within 20 minutes, and I gave him Steves number. Steve then sent me a PM 1 minute later telling me he was meeting up with the seller in 30 minutes.

• What a guy! I offered compensation for his time, but he politely declined.

Anyway, I received a PM from Steve informing me that everything is legit, and he took a few pictures as well.

The seller is selling as a LOCAL PICK-UP, so me and Steve began talking, and I will be wiring Steve the money for the watch+shipping/insurance and he'll get the watch sent out to me next week on his day off!


Here are some pictures Steve snapped...
