Nope. These pictures were taken way back in 2011 with the Canon EOS 550D.

I can't really recall. These were taken in my living room, I think, and I may have used bounced flash.
Lots of trial and error.

Hi David,
The Big Pilot comes with a solid case back due to the presence of the soft-iron inner casing which imbues the watch with supernatural (read anti magnetic) properties.

Wow, good to know that.  :thumbsup:

Apparently the soft-iron inner casing is not to block out external magnetic field, as hairspring and movement are made out of material that already withstanding magnetic field. It is to prevent magnetic field forming on the inside of the watch itself.

Please allow me:

Step aside Pam, this is the real macho watch w finer craftsmanship. Haha!
IMO, big pilot is bout the only watch that can challenge AP overseas.
A stunning piece, 7 day reserve & paired w handsomely designed strap. No switching of straps, bezel etc; an essential element of design - Timelessness.

Iconic and v ahead of time, long before other manufacturers ventured beyond 40mm.
Just Big Pilot, not by numbers or some cities or fanciful name.

V much on my radar.

Thanks for pix.

Sm
