Congratulations, I think it is a beautiful watch with lovely contrasts between brushed and polished steel on the casing along with a very clear face - it is clever the way the edge of the hands are polished so they reflect and become highly legible.

Lucky guy to have such a thoughtful wife. Happy Birthday & congratulations on on your new watch. The 3717 is a forum favorite, enjoy and wear it in good health.
I'm sure you'll enjoy being 40 for the year to come and the IWC Forum for a lot of years to come! ;-)
Cheers and welcome!
Regards,
Jeronimo

Congratulations on both counts, RiesJJ! I also turned 40 this year (back in September), and thus far I've gotta tell ya, it ain't a whole lot different than 39. ;-)
Like you, I also wound up with an IWC Pilot's watch as a present, though unlike you, I had to use every trick in the book to sneak it past the missus and onto my wrist.
Take good care of that lady of yours, she's a keeper!
Have you had a look at the 'lume' on it yet?

What a way to start with a watch that is engineered for men.
Congratulation and enjoy your lovely present.
