Sterile Big Pilot from Josh?

This is actually an IWC replica. I was looking through an old 2006 IWC catalogue and there it was. page 15. Classic Big Pilot 52 S.C. 1940, sterile dial. It looks just like the original. Good font, markers and hands. Although the reps are blued. So, that resolves the mystery for me. I was wondering what was up...so there's your answer. Now we can all go out and buy one now that we know that it is a true replica of a real watch, and not just a cop-out sterile homage. :D

+1 This is how the original Big Pilot watches used to look.

Very tasty!

The one like the IWC is this one (don't know if still in stock anyway):

Ah, and note that both the IWC and the rep are 55mm diameter!!!!!!

 

Otherwise if you want a proper gen (not such expensive too: 790€ with ETA 2824-2 TOP grade), from the most famous brand of Pilot's watches (meaning they were really doing them during 2nd WW), look this one:

This is really "sexy" for me:
