watchturbo Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 My current IWC BP replica broke today, plus I didn't really like it because it looked too fake. So I decided that I will just buy a better BP rep. Can anyone suggest where I can buy most accurate looking best out of box IWC BP rep for the money?

bwhitesox Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 The most accurate one can be found 10 centimetres above your original post then a little to the right. -SEARCH- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you If the fact that it "looked fake" bothers you, your best bet is to just get it over with and go to your local AD. They're replicas man - they all "look fake"... Now, how fake they look -well- that's another subject altogether... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxMan Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Well, if you had one of the older "bad" ones--there are new ones that are much better (came out in August). Most people think the ones sold by Josh/Andrew (aka "v.1") are the most accurate. However, they don't have functioning Power Reserve. Other dealers are selling a different one ("v.2") which HAS functioning Power Reserve, but a less accurate dial. Both are around $200. Choose your poison. If you already have one of these--then, yes, go to your local AD and cough up the dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the thread about '10cm above my original post then a little to the right" does not mention anything about the BP and which ones are currently the best. And the IWC guide does not say shiet about BP reps either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgegrasser Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 And whats the diff between the $199 version and the "lite" for $168? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honetsty though, "Homie" all you have to do is hang out and read a few BP threads and you can get your question answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lots of discussion about the latest Big Pilots Homie... Just need to spend some time in the IWC section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxMan Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 The "lite" is mineral glass; you save $30 over crystal (I'd get the Saph. Crystal). Pretty clear if you just compare the listings... Any other questions? Let me know when you have to pee next, and I'll come hold your schlong for you...
