And told me that he has a Big Pilot and a Big Inge I can compare. I got there last night and had decided long ago that I would choose one or the other. However as soon as he took out those two fine specimens I was speechless
what marvelous watches! I put on the big pilot and it looked GREAT, I simply can't describe how amazing this watch looks in person. The quality is really up there, made my Omega PO that I had on at the time seem like a toy next to it
Jaeger teritory definately. And the vintage pilot design is perfect.Due to the increased height of this Pilot model the crown does not dig in as deep as I thought it would, it was not uncomfortable per se but certinely you would know it is there. Much like the Bentley 6.75 to me.
Now it was Big Inge time. As soon as I had it on my wrist it felt so RIGHT. The size and design with the integrated crown felt perfect and looked amazing! Just as well built as the BP, the finish was excellent. WOW! Instant love! As much as I loved the BP and HAD to get one one of these days the Inge was a more pressing desire. As i took it off and looked at the display back with that huge decorated movement and considered the fact that the watch would look great with either a suit or jeans, it was a no brainer for me.
I told him that I wanted the first Inge he had for sale (all the ones he had were reserved) I was afraid he would say something like three months like Driver got but thankfully he should have one in a couple of days for me!!!
I was actually thinking I should get this under control, but I somehow managed to convince myself that since I did not get the BP along with it, I was still in control
