Great watch you have!

By the way Guys, recently i just got myself another collection, EPOS Sportive Pilot PVD Black Watch - 3398. The design is "so" alike IWC Pilot Chrono. Wondering are they having the same designer...

Beautiful watch. The case diameter is big for most of IWC watch.

Once u r on a big watch it's so hard to wear a smaller Watch again..I havw the PO 45mm and was thinking of a gmt master but it's so small..now looking at iwc..

Fantastic, Couldn't be a more thorough review than this.

+4 and -6s for a movement with 7 days power reserve is astonishing. My pilot chrono also get similar accuracy. IWC really make their movement well. The only drawback is that I felt their case uses softer iron, somehow easily cause a ding when knock to something.

Nice watch you have there!

I've got a IWC spitzfire. the earlier version.
Persoally I think IWC is a nice classy sport watch. but yea the steel is bit soft and mechanics a little delicate.
Recently i sent my watch in for a full overhaul. Cost me about RM2200. but giving me a 3 years warranty.

Hard to imagine it has already been 2 years since I've owned this. How time flies. Above is a recent picture.

It my daily watch for these couple of years, and have proudly collected all sorts of scratches and dings from bumps and everyday use in countless adventures. Feels naked without it. In fact, the very first scratch on the deployant buckle was from the seat-belt buckle during one of my flights. How appropriate

I'm not sure about some comments here about the iron being softer than other watches. It does attract more scratches due to the brushed surface, but softer? Hmmm. Anyone can share evidence or article regarding this?

Accuracy is still more or less the same. I find that resting the watch with the crown up reduces time gain overall.

Here's to many more years to come

Thanks for doing a review. I see you have it in a hotel desk clock mode.

Thanks for a very detailed review.

Dantbk · « **Reply #49 on:** November 25, 2018, 11:49:34 AM »

top of my bucket list. But how does it feel wearing a 46mm watch?
I simply feel shy to attract unwanted attention
