I believe the top gun utilizes a modified 7750. I would rather get the aquatimer galapagos at half the price.

I gotta say I'm falling in love with this watch every day... Anybody here know how much it costs roughly? and is it a durable watch? Thanks! |

I love that watch as well!!! Retail price is around $11k which I think is a bit much for a modified ETA movement....but I still love it! |

I have never seen this watch. WOW I like it very much!!!!!!!!!  It's not, blacksteel, pvd, or dlc, or ceramic, it's actually stainless steel coated in vulcanized rubber.

But I get your point. I've always thought the Top Gun was a bit much, I like it but I'd rather have one of IWC's in-house offerings for that sort of price. |

Need to replace that yellow sub-dial hand with some red ones.

Yeah that is a white gold daytona.. still near 3x the 11K mark. As for the Top Gun, check out the 3789. Its just a basic, single chrono, in a 44mm Ceramic case and wears well! I was tempted at an AD in Alaska to pick one up! You can get one for nearly half the price of the 3799.. |

Another vote here for the 3789. I like it even more than the Top Gun. |

 Or the 3717 albeit it's not all black. Much better value than the Top Gun IMO. |

Love the 3789....there's just too many choices right now....Yellow Breitling Emergency, IWC, Rolex Daytona SS....etc etc! |

The Top Gun is one awesome watch, but like pretty much everyone else has said, I can't justify the price for what it is. Great looking watch though that wears just as well. |

The problem that I have with the 3717 is that wears SO small. Its a 42, but it feels smaller than my 40mm GMT II.. I tried out a 3717 for a while and it kind of killed me! I wish I would've just saved the time and made the move on the 3789. |
