IWC Big Pilot V1, V2 short Gen comparison

[itseme]

So that angus anounced the v2 of the big pilot, i tried to see the flaws.

I think that the v1 is much better even with is fake power reserver.

The V2 from angus looks way off.

Nice, exactly what I was saying. thanks for the pics they put it well into prospective how bad this version is.

yeah. i will stay with my version 1 which from my point of view is very good expect the sunken date window. Fake PR doesnt bother me..

How do we know the v2 is trying to copy the platinum and not the SS?

The power reserve is a massive problem with it in those shots. And look at the 3 o'clock marker on the v2.

Yes - that is fairly compelling evidence

V2 is just pointless. Especially when it is priced just like V1.

V1 is an amazing rep. Get that datewheel 1 mm closer to the dial and you have a watch that is a perfect rep.

Don't expect anyone to call you out because of fixed PR... it's not something that you can check on the spot like chrono etc.
