Hi all

Looking for this daydate for my gf. Anyone has a link to this from a trusted dealer? How accurate are this reps?

Thanks

Yes i'm sure that the Glass is Not aligned

Hey

Today i received my new ultimate GMT II. Wow what a nice watch. But it has one problem. First i tought the cyclops is not aligned but then i saw (according to the etched rolex crown at 6) that the crytal is not aligned. So how hard is it to align the crystal? Any tutuos?

Thanks

hey could someone explain me the problem with the 10 spacing in the current ultimate bezel insert?

thanks

wow will be in for one!

Just saw this "new" GMT II at josh.

-> http://www.jpc8118.com/0074a-p-7669.html

It looks like the bezel numbers are whiter than the old version, also it looks like it has a different movement. Any other news?

Oh and does someone know what is 316F stainless steel ? Whats the difference between 316F steel and normal 316 steel?

cheers

whats the link?

I do love my Pilots ;-)

njoy!

A quicky cell-phone wristy...

where did you get the gen strap?

mine:

mine is slightly recessed, doesn't appear to be a sunken as in the previous posters pics, but it doesn't appear as unsunken as the ones that Vac modded in his section. AR is at least as good as on my 2 gen aquatimers but the strap is still an utter joke, it's worn through to the plastic under the deployment clasp

where did you got yours`???

looks good. will get mine tomorrow.

i'm waiting that andrew resends me the watch. Will post pictues as soon as i get it.

Hello

Today i received the described as newer big pilot 5004 with no recessed datewhell from andrew. but as soon as i unwrapped it i saw that the datewheel still locks the same as my other 5004 which i already have 4 month. also it has still the old strap. Now i think that andrew has sent me the old version instead of the new one. So i sent him some pics and he says that this is the new one.... what do you say? Has someone also received theier updated big pilot with no recessed datewheel?

Here are the pics. the new one from josh is the left one, the one on the right is 4 month old from josh.. I dont see any differences...

hello

I want to mod my Big Pilot 5004 with fixed pr to set the pr to the correct position. Can i just turn the PR hand to the correct position or is it glued on? any tutos?

greets

Now that i read that the review will be posted in the supporters section I have upgraded :-) can't wait for the side by side review!

Yesterday I received my iwc 5004 with updated hands from josh. Wow what a stunner. First thing I did was putting it on a GEN iwc croco big pilot strap.

So check my iwc collection. Hope you like it.

Cheers from Zurich

nice. Got mine yesterday as well. first thing i did was putting it on my gen black gator big pilot strap. And it looks awesome. Maybe I will send it to vac for the DW mod...

greets

Ah, finally ... funny thing to me is that now faux PR hand is now on number 7 ... Why in the world was problem to put it on last tick-mark, where it should be when movement is fully charged

regards

Hehe yeah i noticed the same thing. I think the chinese doesn't know what this is for. Maybe the boss only said "Put the damn hand on full power on 7"... But this doesnt bother me...

Finally the iwc big pilot 5004 with correct hands is listed on joshs page. Only thing is that it still has the wrong strap but i have an oem big pilot strap at home which waits for this watch :-)

Any other flaws beside the sunken date wheel ??

Any updates on those new hands? I recently ordered a 5004 so I'm anxious to upgrade with those new hands. What happened to your B&R?

I ask andrew every week, and every week he says in about a month ... :-((((

ver nice! Will look great with my hornback strap :-) But you know that the gen doesn't have AR??

Greets

HEy but you see that the date of delivery is january and not february ????

Yup I wasn't thinking; but I really feel like home on rwg! That is my office address and this is not my signature but my co-worker. I sent her a tex msg and My envelope is there, siting with a bunch of magazines!!! Am almost tempted to go back now and see! This was odd thing.

Hey

When i track your tracking number, canada post says that the package was delivered on 2009/01/26 in Montreal.

So no hands?

So far I had good communication with Andrew and hi was more then helpful up to now; I had big problem with B&R and he fix that with no questions asked. I also had one more watch with issues from him and hi was sent me parts ASAP. I have confidence that am going to get something in the mail, but the question is what?

The pam127 I sell is from the best factory but I don't do mods on the watch. once the hands of the 5004 correct version is available, I will send them to you.
