·A 3705 reissue in Ceratanium material and 69 caliber is a good idea, but personally I find two major flaws in the execution of the product that prevented me from buying one:
1. Pairing the RAF style baton hands with Luftwaffe style 12 o'clock triangle marker (with the 2 dots). Instead of sticking to decades old tradition, why the mix and match for no good reasons?
2. The much reduced wearability resulted from the 51mm L2L distance (as opposed to 48mm in the original 3705). Part of the charm of 90's IWC watches (including the original Pilot's Chrono, Portuguese Chrono) is their good wearability, in terms of both case size and L2L distance; this reissue fails to reflect that point.
