I have recently bought 2 gen slightly damaged IWC Big Pilot dial on fleebay, and I am wondering if there is someone who can fix the damaged spots on these dials. The damage was caused by crappy storage. These were relatively cheap, the one with the damaged 4 marker was bought for $16, and the other one was $41. (excl. shipping cost) I thought this is a very nice for gen dials which I am planning to use in a franken project.

Sorry, I can't make it. I am in Japan around that period.

I could use a pack.

Too bad these are not made anymore. Would like to own one.

Damn, I need this one!!

Is there someone who is already using this? It looks usefull for our hobby. https://frederiqueconstant.com/analytics/

It is indeed a big watch, but it does not feel that big and heavy. The rep strap is replaced by a Donerix strap which looks so much better. The sandblasted crown is replaced by a SS crown from another BP, like on the gen.

It has been a while since I have bought my last rep because I have started collecting Mil watches, and my focus for the last 6 months was on them. But I was still looking at reps, and when I saw a very nice rep of a Big Pilot on RWI I had to buy it. This was a IWC Big Pilot Patrouille Suisse made by ZF. Compared to the gen there are a lot of differences, but it is still a very nice watch. (I really like the sandblasted case) GEN: REP:

Congrats. Been there, and done that. For me it is the most rewarding part of this hobby. Sourcing parts, servicing the movement and building the watch makes a watch more special for me.
