Antonio Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Considering buying something new, love the new MM but was asking Joshua about a few spare things I need and mentioning my interest in the BP. His response was that there would be "something interesting in a few weeks". He's teased me that way before, this has me ready to order now. Keep your eyes peeled!
trinsic Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 When it comes, we'll see it. In the mean time, just lay back and enjoy the view of ajoesmith's avatar.
scoobs1971 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 ....... In the mean time, just lay back and enjoy the view of ajoesmith's avatar. And don't forget HikeUSA's signature
lazarini Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Interesting ... lets see how plausible this info. is ... not to be skeptical but need to see it to believe it and even then if it comes out it has to be 1:1 or as close to that as possible to make me consider getting one ... regards Laz
siesta181 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 When it comes, we'll see it. In the mean time, just lay back and enjoy the view of ajoesmith's avatar. Yup... his avatar is awesome. Does anybody know who she is.... Yor are right Laz. A Big Pilot is something i would want but not at the standard that they repped the Port Auto 7 Days. That was just downright horrible. Not even close.....
iceberg1127 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 yea, I would love to see a bp too, but the problem remains of repping a movement with a 7 DAY power reserve. Not saying it cant be dont (remember the days before the invention of asian 7750 chrono's) but It's alot harder then it sounds. I am skeptical, but we shall see

Not saying it cant be dont (remember the days before the invention of asian 7750 chrono's) but It's alot harder then it sounds. I am skeptical, but we shall see For me the 7 days power reserve doesn't need to be actually working as long as the hand on the PR subdial moves back from 7 days to less and winding the watch will get it back to 7 days. More important will be the proper positioning of the PR subdial and the date @6 without sunken datewheels. And off course a dial with lume on the (thinned) 3, 6,9 and 12 markers. So we'll see........
jot9011 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 If they are able to fabricate a reliable 7-day PR movement doesn't it follow that other watches,..... like the Big Ingenieur, would be forth-coming?

Ditto Scoobs! I have yet to own an IWC but this would be the one. Guess we'll wait and see.
Guest avitt Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Maybe this will scratch that Big Pilot itch: ...only $12.49 with Buy it Now on the bay
eunomians Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 I can't wait for the Big Pilot. I picked up a slew of new reps, which I am very excited about (namely, the AP ROO)... But the Big Pilot is certainly one of my faves! Hopefully the new vintage line will show up, too: Ingenieur, Aquatimer, Mark IX, Portuguese etc...
piratedzeus Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 1-2 months.... faux PR.... 1:1 case.... sounds good & cheap to me .
cmetalprog Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 Heard exactly the same , coming really soon , UNFORTUNATLY faux PR , hope rest will spot on , we'll see... Cheers C/
FxrAndy Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 I am not so bothered if the watch has 7 days PR as long as the indicator shows 7 days when fully wound and goes to zero when empty, but if it does not move at all i wont be buying
Pugwash Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 I hope that it's got PR of some sort, even if it's just 3-4 days. Yup... his avatar is awesome. Does anybody know who she is....
ta8088 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 If they are able to fabricate a reliable 7-day PR movement doesn't it follow that other watches,..... like the Big Ingenieur, would be forth-coming? I'd love to see them rep the Big Ingy someday. I'd absolutely get one.
ta8088 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Reon Kadena - Wikipedia entry Yep that's who she is. Do a Google image search for her (be sure to turn off the explicit filters) and you'll find some nice pics of her.
