IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince

Sourced by Mary, strap by Orloff and crystal from Prof. Watch had problems with its second hand getting stuck intermittently. So off she went to our very own Rolie who worked his magic and got it sorted. He also fitted a Prof crystal for me, shame the photos can't do it justice, in real life this one is stunning! So, thanks to Steve, Rolie and Mario for making a great looking watch drop dead gorgeous

 

Cheers,

 

Lee

Cheers Dan! The Pelagos will be off to Rolie shortly, needs a new Bezel insert as the original has become slightly discoloured. Any one else have this problem?

 

Cheers,

Very well balanced, and smart collection you have there mate. Reminiscent of my own although I got a bit more focused with 3 brands.

Struggling to imagine what you lack although my next rep is likely to be a Blancpain FF. Think that could slide into your set nicely :thumbsup:

@GT86 I had a Rose Gold chrono Fifty Fathoms but sold it to a fellow RWI member. Currently thinking of adding another Panerai, probably a 127 or maybe a 372.

Thanks Marcoman, will look into the Mark XVII. By the way do you know which manufacturer is the best out there?

@marcoman suprisingly this watch wears really small for its size, i think it has to do with the large hour markers

That would make sense alright.....I've a big pilot as well as the mark and it isn't too overwhelming on the wrist....

Mine says hi! One of the few watches I’ve had that doesn’t need a prof crystal but the dial and finish is certainly deserving of one. Gen kevlar adorns her now and next a gen clasp. Anyone have a gen crown for sale?

Does anyone know of a factory that makes this in a 36" model?  I know IWC makes one but no dealer I've asked has been able to source it.
