Honoring the year of the "High Flyers" by wearing a successor of the one that built the Pilot foundation......MARK XVI

Aloha Dick -

I saw your "ex-Hawaiian Big Pilot" before it flew off to you - it's in great shape and a great catch! I wish I could have picked it up for myself.

Thanks Greg -

I think that Alan Ross has been designated as the official photographer and he'll do a great job!

I'm going to be pretty tired after flying all the way to Geneva. (LOL)

Aloha Joe -

I bought the mannikin head from the thrift store and spray-painted it black. I also bought the beret from the thrift store. The loupes are real.

I photographed the mannikin under a portable light tent on my kitchen counter.

After I took the picture, I realized that the loupe frames were not on the mannikin head properly (by the ear). Also, the beret was too loose and looked like a shower cap. I used photoshop to repair these two mistakes.

I also used photoshop to add the IWC logo on the beret and the BP 5003 mirror-image reflections in the loupe lenses.

I should have spent more time getting a better-focused picture of the BP 5003 dial!

Hope that helps!

Tracy, your skills are amazing, looking forward to meet you next week.

Kevin

Tracy, you are the still life expert also the thrift shop rummage expert, i am staggered what you come back with.

Shing has become very proficient in his lounge aka the Flaship Boutique.

Can you not pack your camera, tripod, light tent, light boxes (voltage 220 so change what's necessary)and background cloth? By the way your beach shot with BP, just how photoshopped is that? Not sure I'd ever leave if that was near to home.

Well, to go back to the original question, here's what I'm wearing now:

Sorry it's an old shot, but I just don't have time for photography projects as I'm getting ready for SIHH.

White gold on Santoni

Michael - that is a real marvel, I hope I get a chance to see it and try it on next week :-)

Getting into the year of the Pilot watch.

Wearing today Platinum. Just picked it up an hour ago:-)

Giovanni,

Congratulations, it's a beautiful piece. Wear it in good health.
I can see why you couldn't wait another week.

Regards,
Kevin

Giovanni, glad you posted early. Great purchase and something to treasure for years. More photos front and rear please.
Plat IWCs with that dial colouring do carry a special aura IMO, just wish I had the Port auto and perpetual within my grasp.

Giovanni - congrats, that takes my breath away - wear it proudly!!

^ ^ Giovannis Regulateur in Platinum is an watch to dream about, love it!

This pretty much the whole week!

beautiful !

Michael, admittedly since Christmas, looking at your Tourby Regulateur in the archives has given me a few ideas. Look at what it made me do !

....it made me try on its brother :) but i left Flagship with what I came with :)

I am wearing my BP since last Sunday but I didn't have time to take a picture earlier. Thank you Andrew for the nice Ju 52!

Kind regards,

Clemens
