IWC Big Pilot's watch 500401 review

Here's a watch that I always felt was too big and generally not particularly interesting. How wrong I was! It completely changes your mind when on wrist and I loved my time with it. Check out my review if you like.

Great review, thanks. I admit, I’ve struggled to understand IWC. They make what seem to be great tool watches that look good, but why the cost? The thoughtful features they have that make them great tools are available for many times less. At some point I’ll try one on to see for myself, but for now I just don’t get it.

Yes I'm with you, extremely high prices for what is often just a regular pilot watch. No question they are lovely to handle in person and the movement here is astonishing but $15,000 worth? Hmm...
