I typed on google 'IWC big pilot for sale' and the first hit was from olxwatches.com where they are selling a white gold BP for $3650. Model is IW500401 and if you look close enough to caseback pics you see a number (I'm assuming its the serial) 3292912. My first impression is this is another replica website trying to gouge money from people. They are a private company since the 1990's and they have in their website a feedback section where most people are quite happy with their purchase. Their moslty into rolex but also sell other watches too (cartier, panerai, iwc, vacheron constatine).
Does anybody have any experiance with them because I cant seem to find any negative feedback from them. or much else from olxwatches on google. Thanks guys

A white gold BP for $3650 USD?!? No way. No way on earth is that genuine. The steel BP sells for £8500 GBP (approx. $13,200 USD), so even if they missed a 1 off the front of their price it'd only be $450 more than the standard steel model! :lol:

If you manage to pick up a white gold BP for that price, PLEASE let me know and I'll buy up as many as they have and then sell them on for the list price of the bog standard steel model and make a cool $10k profit on every single one! :lol:

I'll take their entire supply! I love the big pilot, no way in heck that price is legit. Even if it was the steel model it would be too good to be true.

If you do a very small amount of research online it becomes clear that http://www.olxwatches.com was once http://www.usawatches.net, which (surprise, surprise) doesn't exist anymore, but there's a lot of info out there about them being scammers. However, this link still shows what usawatches.net's home page looked like - http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.usawatches.net

Look familiar to anyone? :lol:

The daft thing is, if all these scam sites actually priced their watches at higher (and hence more realistic) prices, they'd probably snare a whole load more unsuspecting people. I guess we should be thankful they never seem to think of that! :lol:

Yeah I was well aware that a ss bp would coust over $13000; I was so surprised that a online watch seller would sell so low and make money off of it. Anyways since no one really has any experiance with them, I wont therefore be the first.
