Pilot's Friday - IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Edition Bronze ....
Team,
Another Friday, another Big Pilot's.
This time, bronze cased.
The bronze, I hope, will develop patina later and I'm anxious to see the results.
Meanwhile, it looks very much as a gold cased one.
Again, under the P-38 model.
Another shot, playing more with the mirror surface of the P-38.
Closing, with a B&W shot. Love this one.
One explanation:
I never take shots in B&W. The B&W shots are produced by post processing the original color image.
This gives the utmost flexibility to pick the best conversion for a given picture.
Thanks for seeing.
Cheers,
Nilo

Thanks but ...
I need to remember to use another lens to capture the watch and the airplane model. I keep forgetting that I own a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L and I should use the wide angle more. Cheers, Nilo
Wonderful shots as usual dear Nilo! The bronze shines like gold! That´s wonderful! I have some mixed emotions regading bronze case patina...
... I know that one of the attractions of a bronze case is precisely the so different way each case will produce its own patina, so each watch will display a very distinctive personality. I own just one bronze watch: A Tudor Black Bay which I wear just fr...
Thanks Abel ...
I saw, side by side, the BP Gold and the Bronze. The Bronze, when new, is more yellow than the gold. Cheers, Nilo
My pleasure dear Nilo. Interesting to know about color of bronze and gold BP. I can imagine that the BP in gold has to be so impresive...
... both in its looks ... and its price!! Always a superb timepiece! Enjoy your bronzo and keep us posted about the evolution of its patina! Cheers! Abel.
Love the bronze pilot
I just purchased mine a few weeks ago and as you have beautifully captured, it starts as a very shiny red/yellow gold. After a few weeks it has begun to patina very nicely giving it a vintage look which is consistent with the design. A latest photo for yo...
Amazing ...
Mine, with almost nothing of wrist time, is still shining. I need to correct this. Cheers, Nilo
