looking to procure my first IWC Big Pilot rep, need some expert advice
according to this thread https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...sion/308081-consensual-list-super-reps-nwbigs by Omagad, IWC Big Pilot 5009-01 ZF is listed in the top category, Super Reps NWBIGs.
1) Frankens aside, what is the best Big Pilot rep that money can buy these days? is it IWC Big Pilot 5009-01 ZF?
2) is there any Supporting Vendor (similar to Marlin) or TDs that can deliver the best Big Pilot rep? Best meaning they do good QC, mod some parts, and charge extra vs just outright buying direct from big TDs like PureTime.
3) The best Big Pilot rep has 100% working Power Reserve just like the gen?
4) for the best Big Pilot rep, what are some of the flaws to lookout for vs the gen?
i bought a modded PAM 111 from Marlin (one of the Supporting Vendors) before, and i waited 10 months for it. So yes, i am willing to pay extra and wait for a long time. But please don't ask me to start a franken project, i simply don't have the know-how and connections.
Many thanks for your advice!
