very nice, the date window is a a great design, differentiating itself from the countless number of pilots out there, but yet staying through to the aircraft dials.

it wears large due to the case design, so it depends on personal taste. personally i find it overhangs too much for my small <6.5" wrist, wish they had one with shorter lugs without compromising that large dial face :)

Agreed. Was hoping the second hand was Red tipped though. That would be really nice. Any thoughts on where I can source for pre owned models such as these?

Any thoughts on a IWC Pilot Chrono from the peeps here. I love then clear and concise design. Still deciding if should go brand new or pre owned.

I love the IWC 3777. Like the date window. It's 43 mm and it wears quite large. I have a < 6.5" wrist.

This watch is quite notorious in this thread!

Try to get the one on bracelet as it will be more troublesome and expensive if you were to purchase it later.

Here's an old wrist shot.

What arrived at my work desk last Thursday and what I'm wearing now:

I like it for its simple design and light weight due to its titanium case. Plus it's quite thin and low profile.

However, I don't think it will be very accurate and the screen looks like it will scratch quite easily.

Haha I know what you mean, but I didn't hear good things about its Japanese movement but heck care lah, I got it for its looks, not for the movement.

What is the name if this baby?

its an Android Armor 50! Probably heard of the brand Android before but not as a watch brand. Considered to be a microbrand from USA. Friend's friend is the watch designer, he uses a range of movement from the chinese sea gull to japanese miyota and swiss eta.

bought a few pieces from the earliest collection, all monster watches. got time i take pictures one by one. :D

You must have bought this last piece at ION branch...

I didn't get it cause there's a ding on the dial between between the 11 and 12 lume plots (visible in your picture?)...

You should have checked! :o (unless I was wrong and you didn't get that piece... :D)

That's lucky! That speck of dust happened to be on the spot I spotted the ding on the piece at ION branch! :o

It's quite a watch indeed... the size reminds me of my old DSSD without the weight... :)

Hi guys.

Can help with a watch recommendation? Budget about 1k. Brown strap, silver rim, white face.

Thanks!

Everyone should have one. They are freaking thin and light. :)
