Here's a quick shot of two iconic 46mm pilot's watches - The IWC Big Pilot and the Breitling Navitimer World. (OK so the World version may not be iconic just yet, but the Navi certainly is! :thumbsup:)

Great photo D8.

Really keen on the BP and the world is a fantastic watch, I think it's going to have to go on the list :wink:

You must be stoked! Congratulations again!

VERY nice. The World is my favorite current Navi, though the new LE is tough competition.


Now the Big Pilot, thats just a mavelous time piece and a whole different level in my humble opinion.


Now if only you would spend 150$ on a nice camera :roll: :? :P :nana:

Even as a die-hard Breitling man, I have to agree with you Altair.

Well, I must say that between the choice of spending the money on a camera or on that BP, you made the very right choice! :)

I love the contrast between the two pieces - both pilot's watches, but such different takes on the concept.

And I am completely with you about not wasting watch budgets on camera equipment.

Both look great! I have to say, I am partial to the IWC in this case. I really like that type of crown as well, to me it seems a lot easier to handle as well as great looking.
Cheers,
Carl
