As for the AR, I believe all of IWC's watches has double AR so if I were to venture a guess, I'd say the 3719 has double AR too.

No AR on 3706.  AR wasn't used until they got to the 3717 and 3719.  Check the older Mark VIIs, no AR.

RFX, how much can a Rolex GMC-IIC be had for? Both new and secondhand?
I know it retails for ~6000 or so.

 

[rfx45]

The Rolex GMT IIC is one of the most sought after Rolex and it isn't easy getting a discount on it.
It retails for $7,000 and I have inquired several times and the best I could get was 10% off, which is pretty much just tax.
Stock on the watch is pretty low too and dealers know that if one person doesn't buy it, the next one will.
That watch is that popular so if you can get a 15% discount minus tax, consider yourself pretty lucky.
Most people that get decent discount on that particular watch are repeat customers who has bought several Rolexes and watches from that dealer.
Even on grey market it is difficult to get more than 10% discount on it.

Archimede will release a new watch, their Deck watch and it is beautiful.
Retails is expected to be 425 Euros, not bad of a price at all.

 

[ac4three]

That's beautiful. Do you have any experience ordering from Archimede or Stowa?

[icebergslm]

Dang some of you guys have some incredible watches

this is all i've got... as long as it tells the time, i'm good!

 

[lazybonejone]

DoubleRdipin - The Omega PO looks highly suspect as I have that watch and the AR is really strong, and I notice a pretty strong glare. Still, I can be wrong.

Brietling date font is usually thicker and bolder, but I will hold-off judgment since I don't know much about that model.

Panerai is way off - subdial spacing is not right, date font is not correct, and with that model the datewheel is too far back. PLUS, that crown is all the way wrong.

 

[rfx45]

Even though the AR is high and on both sides if the dial is pretty dark, it will still reflect.
My IWC has AR on both sides and when I got it, I thought it was missing the crystal but in pics, it is difficult to eliminate the reflection.

With that said, I am no expert in older models but the Breitling and Pam definitely needs to be checked because both looks really fake, especially the PAM. 

There are just something that doesn't look right with both and I can't quite put my finger on it.

RFX, how many millimeters is the face on that IWC?

 

[rfx45]

40.9mm. Everyone is saying it's too big for my wrist, sucks because I wanted the 5001 which is 42mm and this one is already pushing it. 

 

[oo206oo]

Thanks. For the record, i think its perfect for your wrist.

(im partial to larger watches, but still...)

 

[baybully650]

RFX I like that watch a lot, but DAMN...it looks huge in that second pic.

 

[rfx45]

Yeah, the second pic is mostly the angle, people were saying I might as well wear it on my neck like Flava Flav.

First pics shows how it truly looks and is a bit more proportioned. Here's a farther pic to see how big it is on me.
It don't think it looks too bad in this pic.

This is what Greubel Forsey is doing with their tourbillons nowadays...

The stainless steel Portuguese Chrono starts at $6,800 but the one pictured with the rose gold case retails for $14,300. 
The Portuguese 7-Day Auto in stainless steel retails for $10,900.

I'm assuming this is suppose to be a PAM 188. The thin crown and the protruding cannon pin are a dead give away, and I won't even get started on that on that dial.
