Between these two models the IWC Big Pilot or IWC Portuguese 7 Days,which is more likely to sing to your heart?one is sporty and another is dress watch

Portuguese 7 days anytime! But yes, it also depends what you already have and what you're looking for......you cant go wrong either way!

Personally, i will go for Portuguese 7 days white dial due to my small wrist.

But again, Big Pilot is so hot........

I would go for the IWC Big Pilot because I have one. But in all honesty, in my mind and/or opinion, the IWC Big Pilot is THE Pilot watch to own.

fact that both are giants i probably wouldnt choose any.
but since me and white dials dont get along, then i guess the big pilot wins by default :P

They're both iconic pieces of IWC.

But the Big Pilot combines most of the technology of IWC, like the faraday cage (classic only) and pellaton winding.

However, the Portuguese is an elegant timepiece that's very recognizable. 

(BTW, the Portuguese is not THAT big of a giant)

Big pilot for sure  :thumbsup:

You should run a poll bro.

But in the end, it still depends on your personal preference  :D

Big Pilot but only if your wrist is big enough to take it.  You want to wear the watch...not have the watch wear you.  Classic Big Pilot is the way to go imho.

Wow almost 9 out of 10 chooses Big Pilot over Portuguese 7 Days,though both powered by the same pellaton movement...i think if it could be 44mm then it would be the perfect timepiece!

I have small wrist.
Hence, for me, it will be big pilot, it is supposed to be big and eye catching anyway.

I do like dual register power reserve watch, but I prefer it to be smaller given my small wrist.
For which, my favorite would be Axx 1xxx up / down   ;D (not that I can afford one, just sharing my favorite in that category)
