    Thought I'd drop in and say hi having recently got myself a 3741 as a "daily driver"
    New to IWC, but I absolutely love the look of this piece. My wrists don't support the 46mm watches of this world and the 36mm case is perfect for me. In excellent order save for death of the Tritium. Tempted to have it Luminova'd at some point. I know the meca quartz isn't to everyone's taste (and with a PP I can understand), but I think this is an underrated watch with interesting history and lots of personality.
    Very impressed. I'd post pictures if I could work out how...

    Congrats to your new acquisition and welcome to the forum.

    You're right, it would be great to see a picture. Try this:

    Welcome to the Forum and congrats on the 3741.
    It's a lovely watch and we think very highly of the Mecaquartz movement.

    Looking forward to seeing pics.

    Incidentally, does anyone have a copy of the instructions for this watch they could email to me, or a link? Can't find on IWC site or elsewhere.
    Many thanks

    Ha, Jarrod, funny indeed in the review ;-)
    Explaination: After I saw Dan has found the tutorial and posted pictures, I moved the tutorial to a new file, to find it quicker in the future.

    Cheers Chris
