incoming IWC Big Pilot 43

[DoricSpiker]

Picked this one up last week. Have always wanted a Big Pilot, they launched the year after I started collecting watches. Couldn’t pull it off though.
I have read a lot about it being an upsized Mark rather than a downsized Big Pilot. Understand the point but when you wear it you think Big Pilot, mainly I think because of the onion crown.
I went for the black dial as it’s traditional for a pilots watch and the contrast between the black and the white makes me smile.
My wrist is around 16.75cm if you are interested. Wears nice, a little bit smaller than my bathyscaphe that I had on when I picked this one up.
Clasp is a bit of a pain to open but that should slacken with time. It’s the same clasp as my Portuguese which is fine.
Very happy with it folks and worth a look if you have a medium sized wrist and like a pilots watch.
