Cobra Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 As the topic asks - who is the best source for a Big Pilot rep? I was thinking either an all-black one or black or grey dial with stainless case. Looking for something well built and reasonable accurate.

rhebusnet Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 This is probably the best source of high quality rep Big Pilots:- http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=30_238 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hi, you either want the 5002 v2 or 5004 v2 in that case. Both with non-working power reserve. This is because the power reserve ones are very inaccurate. The 5002 is the older dial version with the fish crown, and the 5004 the modern one with the IWC crown. (Both crowns look the same, just the logo on it is either "fish" or "IWC". Both also accurate to the gen). Also the dials are different in terms of looks. Opt for the black dials definitely as they would reflect the Steel nature of the case more accurately. Only mods I can think of is to get the power reserve indicator to maximum and to perhaps recoat the crystal with AR. You can also get a lume job and change the strap to something of much better quality. The datewheel should already sit more flush to the date window.
