    I had my 5002 slow-beat Big Pilot undergo a complete overhaul. Entire removal and reassembly of the movement/dial/hands/calendar, lubrication throughout, new crystal, case polish, hardened steel crown tube, enhanced/upgraded parts, and all sorts of other tests and precision checks.

    All I can say is it’s as good as new…

    and I still have my beloved FISH!

    Absolutely delighted with the first-class service and speed…

    so here’s my ‘new’ reveal (and a few photos of the guts, gills, and scales along the way)…

    Also, how did you get the pictures? Did you request them with the service? Was this done by IWC?

    Was thinking of asking for this when I send my 5004 in for service ..

    Love to see the movement of my favorite IWC in such detail. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your BP!
