Hey,Driver, I've got a question. Is that Big Pilot you're always
talking about a possible reality some day, or is it merely (sigh!)
the stuff dreams are made of? :(

All being well, it will be a reality one day Steve! To quote Wayne Campbell, "Oh yes........, it will be mine!" :D

The good old 'wish list' changes by the week, but the IWC BP is a FIRM fixture on there. The problem is that it's just at an irritating price point for me - not too much to be total dream-land stuff, but it's more than I've ever spent on a watch before..... and a little more than I'm really comfortable spending at the moment. :?

It could be one I end up sticking on interest free credit one day, just to take the sting out!! :shock:


I understand fully, my friend. For some time the Big Pilot was my dream watch, too. But that price! I could not justify it -- even if I had the money. To make matters worse I met several chaps who owned BPs, and they would let me try their watches on. Oh, the torture! When you finally acquire the great piece, you will become more of a hero to me than you are, even now. Really!! :wink:

Oh how I'd love to believe that "hero" quote Steve! It's lucky you're typing and not trying to speak as I fear you may struggle to talk due to your tongue being so far in your cheek! :lol:

I was quite serious, Driver. Though my tongue might occassionally
find its way into my cheek, whenever the subject is BPs, I'm dead serious.
When you finally get it, let me know and I will open a bottle of champagne
and toast your great achievment. :)

Not that I'm keeping track here mah, but isn't this like the 5th watch you've acquired since Christmas? :P :P :wink:

You have picked up a nice one here. How's the bracelet on this piece, I've heard that it is super comfortable? Take care!

It does seem like I have picked up quite a few new watches. I have been trading some of the watches I never used is all. I took my collection in a different direction about 6 mo ago. I traded watches I had purchased to "hold on to" and pursued ones that I would wear. I did purchase the Chrono Matic 49 that was the only one. The bracelet is very soft and the Deployany is finished well.
