5002 is more gen like imho. The DAYSI will drive me nuts.

Big pilots 5002 or 5004

I watched both videos and I'm confused

Amazing pearl. OEM bezel & pearl?

Good info. Thanks.

I agree and can't wait. I'll place an order within a week.

I'm in the market for the 42mm SS. And there are so many different versions on PT website. Any recommendations? i'm confused.

I'm also for the same hunt. Did you get some answers?

Great answer, I appreciate sharing your knowledge. Why did you have to go through so many watches, can you please enlighten me what to look for? Thanks!

I really want to buy it, but for some reason I have a strong feeling that a v2/update will come out within a few weeks (same as 111N, "Best Edition Updated with Singled Sided AR Crystal, Matching lume on dial and hands and improved CG with sharp inner arches and flush lever pin") 1. Can anybody confirm/deny? 2. If I do decide to pull the trigger on v1, other then lume, and ar removal what other mods can be applied to it? 3. Asian/Swiss - in general I always buy asian, but because this my first GMT, and I know that the "Swiss" is modified asian for the GMT, is it worth an extra $90. I honestly don't care about an extra $90 I just want to know if it is better. THANKS!!!

Dude, love your comment

Last night I saw the "Drive" movie and was curious to know which wrist watch did Ryan wear. I did some digging and was AMAZED to find out that this was a Patek fantasy rep. Don't believe me??? See the link for GQ magazine: http://www.gq-magazi...rive-film-movie "With the nature of the movie - Ryan is very active and there's a lot of stunts, a lot of blood. You can't use the real watch or you're going to break it," explains Blount. "Which would just be a shame. So we used five or six replicas." Who knew?

Any IWC experts can chime in?

Thanks!!!

I recently purchased and received this USED item from the bay: Below you will see a full description from the bay and HD photos I took earlier today. Please let me know if you think that this is true to the description or not: " Original authentic OEM IWC Big Pilot 5002 Buffalo brown strap with beige stitching. This is part number IWA05624 and fits lugs at 22mm with a 18mm deployment buckle. This is the strap that all Big Pilot fans are talking about and looking for. This strap came off my IWC Big Pilot 5002 model. This strap is no longer available from IWC. IWC has since gone to a different manufacturer for this strap. The replacement strap is still made of buffalo but is more refined and more like calfskin then buffalo. Most true IWC fans complain about the looks on the replacement strap. This strap is the one everyone loves and is intentionally more roughly hewn (and quite frankly more manly) then the new one. The strap has been worn for some years and does show a lot of wear. But I feel that just adds more character to Buffalo leather. " What scares me the most is the lack of any IWC stamping. Please examine these pictures closely before I decide if this is 100% authentic or not. THANK YOU!!!

Top is gen.

How is the gen GMT? Does it jump to the next hour or does it moves slowly? Thanks.

1. How is the GMT hand, is it functional as gen? 2. How is the cyclop, is it glued to the crystal? can you show close up photos? is it same as gen? 3. Please post photos of the back. 4. What are the tells? Thanks for your time, I just really want to buy this model and would love to get some answers that i'll know what to expect.

Love it

Very nice

Agreed. Please update.
