IWC Big Pilot - expensive but well worth it IMHO.


Beautiful watch, but I found that the crown digs into my wrist excessively... not too noticeable at first then after an hour or two I was like "something is poking my wrist"... probably one of the most uncomfortable watches I've ever worn, unfortunately :(

Maybe its my wrists though.

For me the wish list is:

IWC Pilot Chrono of some sort
IWC 5001 Portuguese
Rolex Yachtmaster, New DJ or Submariner/Deepsea
Bentley Lemans
Bentley Flying B
Franck Muller Master Banker or King Conquistador

I've wanted a lot of these watches for a while... right now I am most interested in acquiring a Rolex of some sort.



I can still help you on the Flying B :twisted:

:lol:

I can't believe I am about to say this but I think I am done with collecting! Ever since getting the cockpit I do not wear any of my other 15 watches, there is not one thing I do not like about it! I have no use for a Chrono and do not like the busy face of te chrono's too much!Having said that I do like the classic lines of the Navi!

I think the only watch related purchase for 09 will be a leather strap for the Ling to change the look of it, still not sure if it's worth the $160 for the OE Breitling calf or look elsewhere for a Croc and add a Breitling tang buckle, I have a watch with leather and deployant and do not like the way that works and much prefer the tang on leather which I know goes against the grain (ohh sorry for the pun!) of thought here!

It feels great to be at the end of my search for a grail watch, I guess in truth the only other watch that I would desire but is at present out of my price range would be a classic Patek calatrava. Now if I got that by the end of the year it would have been an incredible year...I'm open to that! :D
