Hello from So. Calif.

[bobbydeuce]

I'm absolutely obsessed with watches. I'm hoping to find a good rep IWC Big Pilot. I'm dizzy from doing research, hoping I can get some good advice before diving in. Thanks, B

If you can locate a vac modded big pilot those would be the one to target
Great rep!

Welcome to the forum Bobby! Shouldn't have any problem getting advice here. Big pilots come up for sale quite often in the trade section as well as being available from most of the TD's

Welcome! The Big Pilot with non-functional PR is the most accurate. Stay away from the version with functional PR. The PR position, date window, lug width... basically everything is wrong.

Welcome mate!

Yeah the BP5002 and 5004 are pretty decent reps mate! Brobert is right go for the non working PR version.
Only other thing is that the lume of those is crap and incorrect so you can opt to have your watch relumed a a modder. Another thing could be to have the AR coating replaced by a better one and so on and so on, as expensive as you want this hobby to be

Lot of knowledgable members here. Be sure to use the search first ;-)

I used to live in Yorba Linda, moved here in 2007. I bet it was a toasty one today!
