lanikai Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Let's see some lumies, lani! If I can find them when I get home later today.. but if they replicated the lumeto the genuine specs.. it resembles the BP 5004 with the hour and minute hands lumed stronger and the markers lumed a weaker C1. only the 12,3,6,9 markers are lumed on the TG. Ceramic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Hey, I found this page: http://watches.infoniac.com/index.php?page=post&id=5 I know it's the other Top Gun watch, but it says: The IWC watchmakers opted to produce the case of the Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph Edition TOP GUN from high-tech ceramic, while the watch's operating elements are crafted in titanium. I'm just wondering, should this one also have a titanium caseback? My biased guess would be yes (preferring titanium personally) as the "operating elements" (crown, pushers) are titanium. The dealer website says the caseback is steel Edited June 25, 2009 by Chronus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh's website says steel, another dealer I've enquired with says it's titanium, so we may be ok... hopefully Lani will confirm it for all of us Josh's site link: http://www.jpc8118.com/00000000000iwp10001...750-p-5690.html Clearly says: Back : Steel Close case back with Detail Coloured Top Gun Graphic Engraving Edited June 25, 2009 by Chronus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Just to finish... posted in the other thread by Lani that the case back is SS, as on the dealer's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guy's I may stand corrected to the correction... the dealers site say's ss.. but I have never seen ss to be as dark as this case back is... it is the same colour as the crown and pushers.. which is definately Ti.. so after looking long and hard I would have to say the case back is in fact Ti..

Good news! I'm checking with another dealer to find out the information If this is definitely titanium, is this the best version (after a relume) ?
