I still treasure my 3700 but wear today a RLX GMT and do like it a lot.
Yes, it is not the same, I do know that, know that for fact.
This may sound super strange to you out there, but I never really appreciated or was pleased that the prices gone through the roof that much. I would have loved buying one day perhaps another model, perhaps a 5712 or the Chronograph versions- but every year it is gotten crazier, much like if a train slowly taking off, and while running behind, train is getting faster and faster- and you just can´t get on it anymore...
I stopped wearing mine, because even the maintenance became an investment.
But I still love chatting PP and sharing special moments.
Cheers, René
Please do post pics of your 3700! It's getting rarer by the day
