The Complete History of the IWC Big Pilot Collection
Another "history" article on Monochrome: Possibly one of the most emblematic and important pilot watches of the 21st century. ...
I had this one (ref 5110???) but sold it and regret it.
Exceptional wrist presence and a killer dial. I loved it except . . . very uncomfortable to wear. Plus IWC replaced the fish crown on a warranty repair after my AD promised they wouldn't. That put me over the edge and away it went. Still, mostly good memo...
That one is a 5002 which was the original Big Pilot from 2003
As to the fish crown, I got mine back once all the legal issues were settled. watchesbysjx.com
Thanks Viken. I fixed the reference.
Glad to hear you got the fish crown back where it belongs.
I will take the time to read this in-depth article.
Thanks for sharing. Best, Emmanuel
