    The first batch of the Heritage Watch 55 arrived in Hong Kong recently. SC Fong went pick his up today and I joined him with mine.

    The box is gorgeous, with brown faux leather wrapped around.

    This Colossal Big Pilot certainly makes a substantial presence on any wrist, I am impressed. Thanks a lot IWC.

    a big congrats to #2 and #3. The IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 55 has a long name, maybe we should call it the VBP ( very big pilot ). Can't wait to see more of these on the forum.

    Good to see the 55's have made it to our group. They are certainly substantial "bigger" pilots!

    As a fan of Tom Waits, I suggest "Ol'55". Now, if IWC could get Tom on board as a brand ambassador ...
