JLC wins with me hands down...

I find it has functions I would really use, I like how the bands easily change on it....

IWC Big Pilot is a nice watch that has never really grabbed me.

I guess it depends on what you need, they are both different pieces.

You get a LOT more watch with the JLC

Both are SOLID companies!!

JLC easily.

big pilot is well loved, but to me, it's an old man's watch. it looks like a plane instrument as that's its history. boring. nice, but i just don't like it.

i like the JLC brand much better and the modern looks of the extreme world to match. it's my favorite out of their sporty lineup. good luck.

Man, I must be opposite here. Had both at the same time back in 2007, sold the JLC and kept the Big Pilot. I still have it, a 5002 transitional with a black croc strap from a 5004 ;)

Both fantastic watches, but for me there would be no doubt - JLC all the way!

JLC. I much as I like old fliegher designs that watch is just oversized at 46mm with that giant crown. At 43-44mm with a normal crown it would have been perfect.

Then again, I think the JLC is needlessly large and to busy as well, so I would put my money elsewhere altogether.

BP all the way, Chris!!

JLC...looks nice in photos, awesome on the wrist. With great functionality and versatility.

Personally, I prefer the IWC.

frequentflyer · 13 January 2011, 01:50 AM

I'm with the IWC too, I think it will remain a classic

JLC all the way...never cared for the crown on the IWC BP...although prefer this one over the Extreme.
