Limited Edition Big Pilot’s Watch Dedicated To Las Vegas:
...and it is only 250 USD too
with a bit of luck if you bet it all on black, #35
Love the caseback
Always liked the white and light coloured dials on the BPs.
A buddy owned the Japan LE, and I was very close on buying the DFB LE back in 2012.

I don’t understand the relation between a BP and Las Vegas
To me this is just another new reason to milk the cow 😂
What’s next? BP for marathon?

Agree 100%
I can’t think of a more disparate juxtaposition…perhaps a Ploprof Opera edition??
And the silliness continues…
…what’s next…a limited edition celebrating the park bench I’m sitting on now?
Either way, IWC gets none of my money until they figure out how to build a movement without using Legos.

Not the park bench you're on, because they already did one for the bench down the street for you and they're try to be conservative. But they are taking suggestions for bus stops
That's because the date wheel came from the base Big Pilot 501001
IWC doesn't customize date wheels matching them to the dial colors too often.
The black date background kills it for me. Otherwise it's a great watch
I Will not be purchasing it. I’m saving for the BP perpetual calendar.
And... they actually do have a white date wheel they could have used
IMO, the best BP in the current lineup is the "01"
I wonder why they chose the black date background Since they have a date wheel with a white background?
I can’t imagine that it was just laziness. You would think someone on the design team would have an aesthetic eye and would see how the black date on the white dial sticks out like a sore thumb. I wonder how this happened.? Maybe there’s a bunch of yes-men who are afraid to speak up against the chief designer.
Personally, I think the current design team knows it's catering to a whole different generation of buyers
Who appear to accept anything. That said, mismatched date wheels have existed a very long time especially on high-end pricey timepieces (like below). Many just plain don't care about small details like this and that's why manufacturers get away with it. Same is happening in other industries as well.
Yup, lack of attention-to-detail if you ask me. So few manufactuers order colored date wheels of the correct color
Fully agree!
And I have never understood why even Patek doesn’t act here on a higher level…

luckily for them they did with the burgundy dialed Port auto 7 day; a white date wheel on burgundy would be horrendous
