With a different strap this piece will definitely see some wrist time. I think that I can pull it off β¦. π
Itβs better to wait and be patient and get that watch or watches you wanted than to not get them at all. BTW thatβs one of my favorite IWC pilot watches congrats.
Got a 5002 strap with a sandblasted steel deployant buckle:
and i always thought my 47mm watch is huge
Buy what you love. No legibility issues on this big guy!
