  1. hi sql_pl, very nice pictures of a very nice watch. how big is your wrist? it looks like the strap fits perfectly. i have one on order and would like to know, if the strap will fit, cause i have big wrists. thanks, trombone
  2. hi lanikai, thanks for the great review. how deep is the sunken datewheel? if you look on the pics of the gen in the "chapter" crystal from your review, the datewheel on the gen watch, seems a bit recessed too. just the pics? does it bother you? for me it
  3. hi, just got an email from my dealer and he verified, that there is a screw down crown on the big pilot rep. personally checked. got news, i think.
  4. I just read that on RWI, can somebody verify that? "I just read through this whole thread, particularly the argument about why the PR is non-working. I cannot believe no one figured this one out yet, as it should be plain as day. The reason we've never seen an accurrate Big Pilot before now is because it was impossible to rep that watch with correct date window placement using any of the existing Asian movements. The much ballyhooed Asian PR movement, as used in the Porto 7 Days, is a very small movement. That's why the date window on the Porto 7 Days is placed much too high on the dial. As a result, that rep looks laughably fake. Based on the photos I've seen (and a little common sense), it's clear that the movement in this new Big Pilot is the old 21,6 version of the A7750 with the chrono module removed. This is why the date window placement is correct. The A7750 is just a larger diameter movement. Note that this is NOT the same movement used in the Ultimate Chopard XL, as some have claimed. That movement is based on the 28,8 version of the A7750. That movement is a workhorse based on my experience. What remains to be seen is whether or not this modified 21,6 A7750 is reliable at all. As we all know, a standard 21,6 A7750 chrono movement can be riddled with problems. I've never owned one that could keep decent time in the first place. The manufacturer of the BP had to choose between correct date window placement or working PR. Since this is a rep, and APPEARANCE is everything with a rep, I believe they made the right decision. It would be nice if the PR indicator actually MOVED, however. I think the major tell on this watch will be that every rep out there will have the PR indicator pointing in the same position! Regardless, I'll probably buy one if I can get a good deal on it. You're getting 360 grade steel, sapphire crystal with double AR, and an upgraded quality strap, all for under $200. Not a bargain, but not a massive rip-off either." is that true? if the movement is a A7750 21,6 version, without chrono modul, with would have a reliable movement.
  5. andrews description of the watch says: "special project by us" do anybody know, if it has a screw-down crown?
  6. hi there, i have sent payment on 30th of april and got my watch(IWC 3717) today, dropshipped over poland to austria(which is known for our tuff customs) so stay relaxed you will get your watch. but i have to say, the watch is the best i got so far by any other collectors. the QC from eurotimez is top notch. i will buy from him for sure in the future. i recommend him a lot and will write a dealer review soon.
  7. hi, is this a blue or black face? and also no red sub-dial-hands. is this a new model? from which collector is it? thanks, trombone
  8. does this mean, the sunken datewheel can
  9. hi pug, yes i know, how much a eta 7753 is, but i like this watch so much, that i would buy this movement if it fit and i could get rid of this sunken datewheel. thanks, trombone
  10. i have bought several IWC deployant buckles from puretime for my pilot watches and they fit perfectly a 21/18mm strap. maybe the deployant is 18,5mm, but not more just my two cents

  17. hi there, the new IWC Pilot Chrono 3717 Spitfire, with white dial is now available with double A/R coating.(King and Puretime have it) very interesting, if it is as good, as the A/R coating from k222. if anybody gets one, please let us know. thanks, trombone
