10pgb20 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hi all. Who knows more about this IWC? IT's possible to identifiy it as Rep or Gen? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtaco Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Certainly wouldn't deem myself an expert, but looks gen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Gen IWC 501901. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yup, gen. Tried it at my AD last Friday. 16100 Euros or something like that. Compared to the much cheaper steel Big Pilot it is a huge step back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_B Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wow at first I was like "this is the best IWC rep I have seen so far". Too bad, but it's genuine. It looks nice, but I prefer the steel version with the alligator strap. This should be rep'able without inventing too much, but I'd rather see some of the Miramar models being rep'ed.

PATerai Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I believe this model is much thinner then the norml big pilots, am i right? If they can rep this with a proper movement without PR, it would sell like hot buns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Same movement, same dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can rep this with a proper movement without PR, it would sell like hot buns! It is a little thinner (15mm), while the classic Top Gun is a little less than 1mm more. I don't think it's too noticable. But this one has a 48mm case, which is huuuuuge (compared to other IWC watches). Same movement, same dimensions. This one is a little bigger than the 5004. It's 48mm wide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Looks like just another flavor of the standard Big Pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I actually liked it when I tried it on. Dare I say, I prefer it a tad bit more than the older SS brother. But I dislike the Miramar watches... that glossy finish looks to tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
