IWC Big Pilot Top Gun (5019)

[Deikesu]

Hello everyone,

 

While I was surfing the RWG forum I saw a lot of beautifull watches. Unfortunately I couldnt find anything about the Big Pilot Top Gun 5019. I can find the watch on the sites from the TD's, but does anyone have some hands on experience? I really wonder how good the rep is.

 

Thanks!

Hello

 

This watch is not on the market yet. According to Josh at Perfect Clones it will probably be released in January.

No, there is a rep of 5019 (BP Miramar) on the market. But it is not as good as other IWC reps - like the BP 5002 or 5004 - are. The case is not yet from pure ceramics, it is only PCD'ed. And the coating is brushed ceramics, not polished like the gen. The dial is good related to dimensions and positions of markings and fonts. But the dial is a little bit too bright in color. Hands are ok, date wheel is black and not recessed.. The case back is made from titanium and the engravings are good. The crown is made from titanium and also good.

 

The strap is a crap and the first thing I changed a gen strap on my 5019 which arrived last week. Now I'm trying to source a gen dial of the Miramar. 

 

I'm also waiting for the super rep of the 5019 announced from Toro for spring of 2014. But: end of 2012 the TDs announced the PilotChrono 3777 for early 2013 - and it finally arrived the market in late october 2013. I don't think the Miramar will be available before summer 2014. So you have to be very patient or take the existing rep of the Miramar as a nice "preview" or appetizer like I do. ;-)

I was thinking of the classic model with ceramic case.

All, Thanks for the information!

 

@Imopheim, I was browsing on the site of perfect clones and there I found it. I was actually looking for the IW501901 (black one). I dont know if its any good though. The pictures are not really clear. that's why I made this post. 

 

@Higgingsd, Thank you for sharing the pictures. Although I ment the IW501901 the BP miramar is really nice as well. I think I will wait for the next one and choose another model. There is so much to choose from
