Has anyone seen a all polished caseback like this one before? Back of the lugs are mirror polished and the outer area of the cb as well instead of brushed finish.... Note also the straight serial engraving instead of the usual circular one... You can see more on the bay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/IWC-Big-Pilot-5002-Automatic-7-Day-Power-Reserve-Steel-leather-deployment-/110982651827?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D4008717568318370854%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D110982651827%26 Now, question is what year is this watch? IWC started production of the 5002 in 2002, right? And I have pics of 2002 and 2003 models with the usual brushed finish and the circular sn. So I'm a bit lost here, because this watch is gen ! So was there an "early" 2002 variant? Or was it simply repolished to the owner's specs. If it a rare early factory finish, I'm thinking of modding one BP from andrew to these specs... I hate this poorly engraved "2958508", and that would be the opportunity to do something different ! Cheers !!!
