The 43 the little Big Pilot ist not bad, but only about 60 hours power reserve, no date and no power reserve indicate on the dial. The good one ist, you have a open case back, a sapphire case back to see the beautiful movement.
I own exactly the same watch and I think exactly the same things you said. I have to say that in my collection I have 25 watches with few Rolexes, Omegas and Tudors, but the amount of love I have for this Big Pilot is unmatched. Vintage but sporty, not so classy but luxurious. I love it and I know is a merely irrational thing. Go for the 46, Sir. The 43 and the Mark XX are on another planet, playing another sport.
Great review, great watch! Pleeeease, don't wear it when playing golf and using power tools, always have a G-Shock as spare. Do you find it comfortable for every day? I can't get use to clasp being on the side, after a few hours of wearing it starts annoying me, I find it uncomfortable.
Diving masks have a magnifying effect. So your watch looks larger and therefore can be smaller. This is not true for Pilot's watches. But this whole argument is historical at this point. No one is flying or diving with these watches.
I make sure to wear the biggest 46mm IWC and Breitling watches I can with a 7” right wrist (lefty) because 1. I want to (and it’s more legible) 2. Nobody cares 3. Because of people with stupid opinions that think they know the “right” way to do things and need to share it with everyone to affirm their own insecurities about trying to be as boring and unassuming as possible
@@romanmoruz The saying "don't let a watch wear you" isn't even necessarily referring to size but he seemed to get triggered right off the bat. He proved there's a reason why the saying exists.
Old timers wore these watches while flying planes, climbing mountains, diving to the depths of the oceans, etc. Now "men" make coffee while wearing them. Cringe.
first of all you don;t know what i do for a living and have no clue what im putting my watches through you sissy little boy 😂 go see your boyfriend and calm the f down
I am sorry but why a watch keeping time on a watch box doesn’t impress me. It’s cool that it does but I rather have performance when wearing it not when I am not.
What a beautiful piece! Never realized how big it is but it looks damn nice on you! 🔥
thanks buddy
Keep doing what your doing. Solid review, thought provoking, entertaining. Thumbs up!
Already on my grail list 💪🏾
Good choice!

Great review. Glad that I find your channel.
Thank you very much
Looks good on your wrist!

True! Good point
Yes that’s true
The thickness is probably attributed to a huge main spring = the massive power reserve.
i was thinking of that too and even mentioned it in the video but i somehow cut it in the editing. thanks
And the 2 barrels
Hi nice video ! Did the crown poke your skin ?
No it didn’t actually which i too thought it will be a problem. Very comfortable
i think pilot watches is just bigger field watch. or the watches that originally for the pilot. or a watch that have plane instrument style dial.
Another interesting alternative is Longines Spirit Titanium 40mm...
I like this one
Longines doesn't compare to iwc big pilot, maybe mark series, but even mark series are in a different league
@@coffeeboyclips1973 quality wise, same league...
@@Sumerdini nope, I've owned both, the iwc is better quality and finishing
The longines is good for the money but the design is a bit of a mess
YOU ROCK
oh thanks
What is your wrist size
Around 7inches
Make sure you wear your watch and your watch doesn't wear you. This is an example of the latter.
100% agree

It's a saying used in the watch world for a reason.
Thanks for confirming and compensating for whatever you're compensating for.
Lol
