Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey. In this issue, we will introduce the M+ Taiwan factory ceramic Big Pilot. The official model is: IWC Large Pilot’s Watch TOP GUN watch 43 series IW329801. For many domestic watch enthusiasts, the size of the IWC Big Pilot series is too large. Previously, the Big Pilots produced by ZF factory were all 46mm. Except for some watch enthusiasts with relatively thick wrists, other watch enthusiasts can only be deterred. This time, the M+ factory also newly launches the 43mm Big Pilot series replica, and the workmanship is also very excellent. Let’s take a look at the workmanship details of this M+ factory IWC ceramic Big Pilot 43 watch.
The 43mm dial. Because the outer frame is not very large, actually 43mm doesn’t seem much larger than 41mm. With the recognizable onion-shaped crown, people with small wrists like me can also enjoy the IWC TOPGUN. For people who don’t like dress watches, the Portuguese series is really too old-fashioned. This new version of the pilot watch is really to Bokey taste. Moreover, the M+ factory also gives a pair of rubber straps when leaving the factory, which is very considerate. It is also fine to wear it for swimming in summer.
In terms of dial details, there is no problem. The mirror is sapphire glass coated with blue film. The dial also has a frosted effect, that is, black with a granular feel. The printing is also relatively three-dimensional. The red TOP GUN font is three-dimensionally protruding and the color is gorgeous.
The inverted triangle at the 12 o’clock position also has a water droplet effect. The three-dimensional fullness of other scales can also rival the original workmanship.
Ceramic case, matched with a titanium metal onion-shaped crown. This model has relatively high recognition. You can tell it is the Big Pilot from ten meters away. The crown is also a screw-in design. When using it, you need to loosen it first and then adjust the time. And the time adjustment of this M+ ceramic Big Pilot is also in sync with the original one-gear design. Pull it out and you can directly adjust the time. There is no calendar empty gear.
Closed back design. The back cover is made of two materials, ceramic and titanium metal. The titanium metal part has a TOP GUN pattern relief, and the outer ring is engraved with some brand information. The internal movement is equipped with a Citizen (Miyota) 8N24 movement. This movement originally has no calendar gear. The watch itself has a closed back design and does not need any changes to the movement. Many novices mistakenly think that Citizen is poor because fake watches always like to blindly modify Citizen movements. The original Citizen Miyota movement is not bad at all in terms of stability!!!
Many independent brands at home and abroad use this movement, such as domestic brands like “Tianwang Watch” and “Rossiya”. Many friends often complain that I bought a Rossiya and wore it for five or six years without any problems. Why do replica watches easily have problems? These brands use this set of movements. It has high silence and is stable and durable! This is the original requirement of fake watches. I think that the manufacturer’s use of these original movements with high stability is sincerity. It is not just casually purchasing Hangzhou movements or domestic 2892 movements and stuffing them in. They really consider durability and the matching degree of replicas between different watch models.
The strap uses the same woven material as the original and is matched with a titanium metal folding clasp.
Will the M+ factory IWC TOPGUN series IW329801 ceramic Big Pilot 43 be obviously fake at a glance?
Finally, take a look at the luminous effect. It is also green like the original, very eye-catching! Generally speaking, the restoration degree of this watch is very high. Whether it is the dial details, case material, or the quality of the movement, it is impeccable and there is no problem of being obviously fake. If there is a disadvantage, it is that the power reserve of the movement is not as long as the original (60 hours). But from the perspective of an automatic mechanical watch, a power reserve of 42 hours is also sufficient for daily use.
