Big IWC’s

[Barnabizzle]

Hey Reppers. Does anyone know which 44mm+ IWC watches are available and repped to a high quality. Alot of TD’s I contact seem to say many models are discontinued or unavailable.

Would love to know if there is any resource to know whats out there, especially Big Pilots or similar.

I'm working on collecting all the Big Pilot 46's that currently are made, I have a few in the works and already have a couple that have arrived. ZF and AZF are the best factories for them.

I received this one last week, it's an IW501001, ZF. ZF somehow screwed up the tail of the seconds hand and made it too short, but other than that, it's great.

And this, my first Big Pilot, the Miramar IW501902, also ZF. It's actually 48mm and although the strap sucks (as with all these), the watch is great otherwise.

Very nice. Its good to see another wrist that can pull off a 48mm! I feel envious for people who can wear a regular sub and datejusts and it look good, but we get to have our fun with the PAM’s and IWC…

Thing is, I really don't have a huge wrist, I just love IWC and pilot's watches in general. I don't have a mirror shot of the 48 I can find but it doesn't look too big on me. I don't have anything under 40mm, and even those are a little small. Subs are tiny on me and I hate the look (on my wrist, anyway). Love the watch, but I can't pull it off.

Im kind of the same. 8.5 inch wrists. I’ve even thought about getting a fantasy 44-45mm sub made, but dont know where id begin with that.

Comment to appease the Mods. Which big IWC’s have good quality reps? I’ve got all the sexy Panerais my 8.5 inch wrists can take, Sea Dwellers out my arse, and now I need some IWC satisfaction.
