Need opinions please: New Double Chrono Pilot 3778 or Big Pilot 5009?? Fri, 30 November 2012 11:50 Go to previous message

Gents,

Been away for a long while. Ready to come back to IWC. Im in between the New DOuble Chrono and the Big Pilot. Ive tried both on and both are equally stunning.

Pricing is similar ( Big Pilot a touch more but not significant) Both 46mm, both have the classic IWC look and pilot feel which is what I really want

Im aware the movement in the Big Pilot in nicer and the DOuble Chrono 3778 is more pedestrian.


Im leaning towards the Double Pilot but ruth be told there is little talk of the new DOuble Chrono Pilot watch on this forum and others in general. Why isnt there more interest in this piece? It almost seems overlooked. They are out there and at every AD that I have visited so Im just puzzled.

ANy feedback from current owner would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Eric
