My (almost perfect) IWC Big Pilot Rep 5002 with Gen Parts
watchfreund posted a topic in The IWC Area
Dear all, before I start I want to thank this really nice community! I already bought some nice pieces here from some members and met some really friendly people - Also from Germany or Netherlands. Lots of support here!! I did not know that the scene would be so big in Germany too. So one of my favorite watches is the IWC Big Pilot. I already tested it as a GEN and it charmes my wrists. I want to build my own (almost perfect) REP now and hope for your help. What I already learned is that the recent 5002 (Available at all trusted shops here) is already near to perfection - Except the strap. I have a nice offer from a German member for the recent 5002 including the GEN brown leather strap. So if it will be still available and we meet at a good price point this will be my base. I was just able to buy a GEN Dial for the IWC Big Pilot (IWC Caliber 5011). I think I was very lucky because what I have read GEN IWC parts are getting harder to source, right? But here is already my first question: will a GEN Dial fit the 5002? What else can be changed to GEN? I am thinking of the clasp (read that it is not as good) and the crown. Hands should be good right? AR and relume is not necessary anymore at the recent 5002, right? So my total goal (at the moment) is this: IWC Big Pilot REP 5002 GEN brown leather strap GEN dial GEN crown (GEN clasp) So what are your thoughts? Any ideas or hints or feedback? Thanks!!
