Just needed some help on wether I Should go for the 3717 or the latest 3777. Tried both of them, both feels right to me. Is it justifiable paying a over 1000$ for the same movement between old and the new??? Heart tells me to buy 3717 but my mind tells me to get 3777 Help!!! As I am going insane thinking about this! Well not really but any sound advice would definitely help! Thanks :)

i went through some of the same thoughts. I ended up with the 3777. The main reason for me is that my eyes are quite as good as they used to be. Not quite needing glasses except for reading. THe larger subdials are the reason i went with the 3777. I tried them both (although not at the same time). In the end, if it was not for the reason above-- I probably would have gone with the 3717 (which was new) and about 800 dollars less.

IMHO, I would choose the 3717 as it is less busy on the dial, no number on the minute mark, resulting a pleasant view. Moreover, it is no longer in production.
For me, it would have to be the 3777 -- I love the triple date window. Since your head and heart are divided, perhaps waiting a couple of days will help sort things out.

if budget is a concern, do consider the older 39mm ref 3706 as well.
if the choice is between a 3717 and 3777, and it is my first pilot, for me it would be the 3717 whose look and design is more representative of pilot chronograph watches for so long.

3717...plain and simple. Really! Dial has less clutter. Sub-dials may be larger on the 3777 but the sub-dial most viewed ( seconds ) is covered with IWC Branding. 3717's cleaner dial layout provides for a quick "easy" read. "No Confusion" single line day/date IMO way to go. 42mm perfect size.
If you have the opportunity to pick up a NIB 3717, I would jump on it before it's gone. The 3777 will be around for probably 5-6 years b/4 the next Pilot refresh.

For your consideration. Please excuse brevity. I am using my ipad and am in a hurry.
