Your first love sets the passion.
... and you eventually find another.
Unsure why it took me so long to appreciate this one. |

It’s a great watch, and would have one if I had near the wrist to pull it off. I think iwc is underrated and under appreciated here on the forums.

I have two other pilot watches and this is the only one that feels like it’s worth the asking price.
For a guy like me, that’s rare. Makes a great desk watch too.

Always loved the Big Pilot, just don't have the wrist size to pull it off.

Nice, however, dial is too big for me.

Nice watch.
When I was on TimeZone back 15 years ago there was a sort of disdain for IWC because people didn't like their pricetag with off the shelf movements so I never really pursued them. I bought an Archimede Pilots watch to see if I like the design but it didn't stick. There is something nice and clean about the design and IWC seems to have lost it's luster a bit lately but they are a nice watch. The Top Gun model from a few years ago is nice as well. |

Ahh!!! Congratulations!!! I love my 5002; it is one that will stay in the collection no matter what. And I love the size...it’s why it’s called the Big Pilot!

I think IWC has some beautiful designs, but they’re rather too large for my wrists. Real shame. The pre Richemont days were the best, in my opinion, with pared-down simplicity.
Yours looks great! I just wish it would suit me! |

Good comments!
It’s certainly large but it’s still usable. Not heavy and it feels like a travel companion. |
