    While I was in the basement photo hideaway taking pictures of my CFP, I took some shots of my recently serviced 3711 Doppel Chronograph. Although it does not get enough wrist time, it certainly deserves to be seen here and perhaps a bit more wrist time too.

    One of the unique things about the 3711 vs its successor, the 3713, is its domed crystal. It's hard to capture it in a photo. Another difference is the use of Tritium markers and hands, the T Swiss T dial. The 3713 has neither the domed crystal, nor the Tritium hands/markers. You can see the Tritium has aged now to it glorious patina look. The 3711 was only manufactured for a brief period before IWC changed over to the 3713 model of the Doppel. W

    Excellent photos, as always, Bill.

    That 3711 is a beautiful example of functionality and purpose. A real tool watch. Love seeing the patina come out too.

    Thanks for taking the time to do this and share with us.

    Really nice photos Bill! And you did capture the domed crystal quite well. For some reason I prefer the font on this tritium dial as well.
