If the Big Pilot is the one that you REALLY want, then better save up for it.Thru experience, you will never be happy with a substitute unless it's really the one that you want. You dun wanna look at the watch everyday and say "Damn, if i got money ar, this one will be the Big Pilot" do you? But just out of curiosity, what about the big pilot that you like? Design? Historical value? Because if it's historical value, there's actually 5 watchmakers that make pilot watches during the war comissioned by the government. The most affordable is Laco. This is their website. And a forumer at MWF is selling a mint one that I think is worth checking out... here... |
