Indeed a big watch
Hi John,
My writs is a little over 18.5cm. This watch is big but quite comfortable to wear. I once tried the Big Pilot Top Gun and TG Miramar that are 48mm in diameter and these were way to big.
This 5002 is about 46mm in diameter and that is alright.
The little problem I have at the moment is with the strap. It is a small size and the small leg of the band is quite short for my wrist. Setting the buckle on the last hole is alright being a little loose. If set at the before last, it is too tight. This is probably a good excuse to get a new strap !
Cheers

All the pleasure is in the hunt....?
...Not only! Having the new piece on the wrist, makes you feel very happy! I'd like to share with you the latest addition to my collection. It took me quite some time to find it. And of course a lot of hesitation between that model and that complication a...
it's a great piece...enjoy it
It's one of IWC's most classic pieces... How big is your wrist, if I may ask? Cheers, John

18.5 cm / 7.25 inches is about the same size as my wrist I haven't tried on the Big Pilot, but I fear it would be a bit too big for me as around 42 mm is the maximum I like to wear Looks great on you, though John
You should give it a try
Give it a try maybe and worse comes to worse, you'll end up getting one. But it is true that is a step up compared to a 42mm case. Cheers
I dunno why there is no IWC forum there
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and maybe I'm silly, did anyone know why there is no brand forum for IWC watches? Thanks.
For two reasons. A forum needs a moderator and that the brand plays the game.
Which means that someone from the brand should be available to accept to answer the moderator's questions, without having to wait 6 months for that. Mutual respect and confidence is mandatory. For the moment, we have no moderator, nor contact, so... Best,...
Oh.....got it
Thanks for explanation. Then this brand miss an important channel to promote its watches.
I wonder if IWC doesn't cooperate with PuristPro
because it has its own Forum on its website? It's quite a lively Forum with many heated discussions among the participants. I would guess IWC has its hands full keeping the peace there.
