Pilot Chronograph Battle
Finding it really hard to decide between the 2 of these. The Bigeye is on sale with over €1k off. Wasn’t planning on making a purchase for a few months but that saving is nearly too good to miss out on. The Spitfire is a monster though and would look great on so many different straps with the black dial.

My vote IWC. But you can’t go wrong either way.
I like the big eye in peacock blue. It’s unique and stands out, that calf leather strap is extremely comfortable over a long period and you can always get the big pilots or mark 20 later when you fancy an IWC.
Good luck.
Definitely can’t go wrong either way but for me it would be the Bigeye!
IWC might be the more respected watch but Big eye in black dial for me is an interesting everyday option.
I love ıwc but that patroleum blue on longinges big eye is Irresistible
Longines does it better. Value and style.
Tough call! Both look great
Love the Big Eye but it has to be the Spitfire.
IWC is timeless
Love the big eye. It would be my choice. To bad they cover up the movement.
Longines for me

Very true! Did you find the strap very short?
Bigeye without hesitation, but please check the SINN :)

Longines have some quality pieces alright, bigeye flies under the radar!

The colour is actually so nice in person..

Get so much for your money with Longines, have the spirit which is a great watch.

Tough call is right!

Spitfire is definitely a bit more rugged looking, which is what I was looking for initially!
IWC is timeless
True, was looking at the 3 hand spitfire that you have too but already have a Longines Spirit, so that kinda ticks the box for my everyday piece.. love the Spitfire in red I think they missed a trick on the chrono omitting that!

Movement is actually class looking, such a shame!
Longines for me
Longines are so underrated
Bigeye without hesitation, but please check the SINN :)
The Sinn is really nice can’t see past the hand style though, something doesn’t sit right with me. I wish it did as it ticks all the other boxes. Also no ADs anywhere near me so I can’t even try one on.
Very true! Did you find the strap very short?
Not really. Works well for me.
Yes the black dial is also an option, for some reason I can get the titanium version for cheaper at the minute than the stainless steel version!
A lot of folks myself included do not favour titanium due to its inherent lightness,a plus for many but not all! I know the blue dial is very popular, just believe the black dial will be more lasting.
IWC gets my vote. I hate cut off numerals like on the Big Eye, and the Spitfire hand set is gorgeous and has much better visibility.
Decisions decisions… 😂
Time to break out the lucky Quarter!
From your profile I see you have a Longines and Tudor already. I’d go for the IWC for diversity 🥂😂
I’d consider this if I were you.
My vote IWC. But you can’t go wrong either way.
Totally agreed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
