Z Factory V2 Replica IWC Big Pilot Top Gun Miramar Ceramic Watch with Green Nylon Strap

Replica IWC Big Pilot Top Gun Miramar

Big Pilot, it is a famous series of IWC, like its name, the watch has a big case diameter, which is up to 47mm, it also has a big onion-shaped crown. For pilots, there are many choices of suitable timepieces, but I still think that IWC Big Pilot is the most suitable one for them, because Big Pilot has a large dial so the pilots can easily read time. IWC has ever published a lot of Big Pilot models, each of them is very hot and has become the object to be replicated by various factories, among them, Z factory is the biggest and most famous. Now, the replica IWC Big Pilot watch I am going to introduce is exactly made by Z factory.

On my blog, I introduced one Big Pilot replica watch in September, 2018, it is IW500908 Le Petit Prince Blue, this watch is the best-selling Big Pilot in our market, I sold more than ten pieces each month. Today, the Big Pilot I am going to share with you is a green model, it belongs to a sub-series under Big Pilot, the Top Gun Miramar. Different from other Big Pilot Top Gun Miramar, this one has a power reserve indicator placed at 3 o’clock on the dial.

The watch is totally in green color, which is completely in line with the military watch style. The big case is made of black ceramic, it is fully polished, including bezel and lugs. The big crown on the right case has a color tone similar to Titanium, the “IWC” logo engraved on the crown is delicate. I do not know why IWC uses a polishing finish on the case, it certainly looks bright, but I do not think it will be more scratch resistant than the brushed surface.

The green dial has the same color tone as genuine top gun dial, Z factory makes this correct. The central red circle that is displaying hours increases the readability of the whole dial, on its right side, there is a sunken subdial that shows the remaining power reserve, yes, it is the 7-day power reserve indicator. On this replica watch, the power reserve capacity can not achieve 7 days, but it can absolutely last two days at least once being fully wound. There is a small window opened at 6 o’clock to show the date, whose date font is in white color and aligned. Now, on most replica watches, the dial will not become a fake spot, it can be finished very accurate.

Green nylon band perfectly matches the green top gun dial. The black leather on the back side gives the wearer a more comfortable wearing. Behind the solid case back, there is an automatic movement that has been modified to the look of genuine IWC 51111 Calibre, after opening the back, you can see very beautiful decoration on the movement plates and auto rotor. About this watch, it is originally one of the best sellers of Z factory Big Pilot watches, after being improved to V2 edition, more people will pursue this watch, so, please make your order quickly before this watch sold out.

YL Factory Replica IWC Big Pilot Annual Calendar Le Petite Prince Rose Gold Watch Review

Replica IWC Big Pilot Annual Calendar

Besides Portuguese, I think Big Pilot is the most successful series IWC has ever created. Compared with Pilot, Big Pilot has a much bigger case that has a diameter of 47mm, so, if you love big watch and the big crown, IWC Big Pilot will be a good choice. Now in replica IWC watch field, three factories shared the market, they are ZF, V6 and YL. Absolutely Z factory(ZF) occupied the biggest market share of replica IWC, because the need of people for IWC Portuguese watches is big, and Z factory makes the best IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve replica watches, which I think are not able to be identified as fakes. About YL, they just entered this area about two years ago and has also brought us many surprises, about V6, this factory now only makes some quality Spitfire chrono models in replica IWC area, its focus is on Hublot and Panerai.

Today, I want to show you a great timepiece from YL factory, it is a replica IWC Big Pilot watch, with working power reserve and annual calendar. This is the V2 edition, YL factory made some modification on the movement, so it will look closer to genuine IWC 52850 Calibre.

The replica watch has a rose gold look, the gold coating on the solid stainless steel case is up to 5 mils thick. Some people asked me whether it is solid gold or not, I must say this is not, no replica watches in our market use solid gold, so do not be cheated by other dealers who claim that they have golden replica watches the same as genuine, it is impossible.

Not only the watch has a big case, its dial also has large Arabic numeral hour markers. Blue dial is the most classic dial version among all Big Pilot Le Petit Prince models, most of my clients who ordered Big Pilot Le Petit Prince from me love the blue dial version more. YL factory updated the dial, you can compare this replica with a genuine IW502701, the two small dials are set in a right position, their size is also correct, the hidden part on numbers of 2, 4, 8 and 10 is just right, not too much or too less. By the way, the 7-day power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock is working, maybe the engine can not offer a full 7-day power for the watch after being fully wound, but the replica can work an entire day for you without winding.

Brown leather strap is made of genuine calf skin leather, it has a super soft texture and nice hand stitching work. The rose gold buckle and its “IWC” engraving on also reflect the good craftmanship of YL factory. Actually, such one pair of leather straps with clasp is sold at an expensive, you can not buy one unless paying more than $120 usd.

Replica IWC IW502003

There are more and more watch manufacturers in our market, especially from the beginning of 2018 year, new factory names appeared quickly on the internet, for example, ARF, GMF, DJF, etc. Some are new, but most of them are sub-factories of existed manufacturers. Among all replica watches manufacturers, Noob ranks first, because Rolex is the best-selling brand and Noob factory makes the best replica Rolex watches. However, compared with ZF, Noob has a narrow choices in brands. ZF is also a big factory like Noob but it has more choices, you know, ZF not only makes high quality Panerai replica watches, the replicas of brands Jaeger LeCoultre, IWC, Tudor and Patek Philippe are also good, I always think that the IWC replica watches made by ZF are the best ones in our market, especially the Portuguese and Big Pilot models, no factories can compare their quality. Today, I am going to introduce an IWC Big Pilot replica watch in full ceramic, genuine watch’s reference is IW502003, this replica is the improved V2 edition. Now let’s see detailed specification of the watch.

The replica watch is equipped with a clone 51111 automatic movement. I did not open the case back to take some movement photos, you know, if I opened it and can not install the case cover back correctly, the watch’s water resistance will be affected. So here, I suggest you do not open the back by yourself if the watch accuracy needs to be adjusted, you can take it to a jeweler and have it repaired.

IWC Big Pilot Solid Case Back

IWC Big Pilot IW502003 replica is equipped with a black nylon band. The special patterns on the band looks like snake skin. The back side of the band that touches your skin is made of black leather, so the back side leather material brings a great comfort when you wearing, the outside nylon is a cool look and is rainproof. Such type of watch band is very practical. The buckle fitted on the strap is satin finished with neat engraving “IWC”. The buckle has several cutting faces and is full of angular sense.

Under its cool black appearance, I see more of its advanced material, top-level finish and high-tech movement. IWC Big Pilot will be a great timepiece for you to wear with your jacket.

The case is 46mm in diameter, but it seems to be bigger because of the oversized crown. The big round case is brushed with triple lugs that have natural curve. The bezel is smooth and polished, look at the case from side, it has a beautiful outline, the streamlined lugs have smooth edge that is polished. The brushed finish on case is delicate and the polishing level could be compared with that on genuine watch. On the crown, the fluted patterns make you rotate the crown easily, there are fine relief on the frontal face of the crown. Like crown, case back is also screw-down, there is a Le Petit Prince pattern on the center of the case back, you have to be very careful, some cheap IWC Le Petit Prince replica watches have an airplane pattern on the back.

Blue dial looks very elegant. There are three hands on the center, the longest and most slender seconds hand runs smoothly across the dial, hour markers, which include Arabic numerals, are big. The triangle marker at 12 o’clock is an icon of IWC Big Pilot watch. All hour markers, hour and minute hands as well as small hand at 3 are filled with white luminous material, the lume coating is thick and full, so the green lume light from the dial in dark place will be strong and long lasting. The subdial at 3 o’clock is designed for power reserve display, the 7-day power reserve indicator on this replica IW500908 is real, it works like original watch. On this big dial, every detail is enlarged, including the trapezoidal date window at 6 o’clock.

Behind the solid case back, it is a clone IWC 521111 automatic movement, like genuine watch, between the case back and movement, there is an antimagnetic soft iron. The replica uses a Sea-gull ST as a base movement to make this 521111. I did not open the back and had no fortune to see the movement inside, the factory said that they have modified the plates and rotor of the movement to make it look like the real IWC 521111 Caliber.
