itseme Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 So yesterday i received my Big Pilot and i really love it. I want to let the pictures speak so only a small review. + Build quality is really nice! + Apart from the sunken date windows i dont see any flaws + nice screw down crown + good AR, you can compare to the AR on my 3717 (old k2222 AR) + The strap is very very nice, see the comparisom to the 120$ HKTAN Strap on my 3717, feels very good - sunken date windows - no individual serial number on mine (has the same as the one on the first review) - fixed Power Reserver (No issue for me) - Rotor was very noisy, so i put on some grease now its really silent Conclusion: For 200$ it's a must buy for every IWC Fan.

Wolf Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for the review and pictures! I just ordered one! It seems like a much better deal lately for the money then a lot of other reps lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Really good comparison pictures, thanks! The sunken date does not look that obvious. I am still on the fence about the BP. Guess I will pick one up eventually, just need to downscale my current collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
