I've always love Big PIlot watch, i think their design is very masculine and timeless classic.
A good friend of mine bought me Ticino Big Pilot watch as my Bday present.
Here's the link hxxp://www.sizzlinwatches.com/proddetai ... _pilot_006 - But we got a lot of disc for that watch

I've been wearing the watch for a couple of days, and i must say, it's a good looking watch that i love to wear
CASE
Quote from their site
#316L stainless steel case (nickel free)
#All brushed satin finish case
#Diameter: 47mm, 53mm including crown, and 13.8mm thick
The size is massive for my wrist, and it wears larger compare to fiddy. Probably because the shape and the size of the dial.
The quality of the case is outstanding, i must say they are really well made.
No imperfection, No hard edges, No uneven lines, No scratches or dents. top notch in my opinion.
Case : 8 / 10
DIAL
Dial black with Luminova
The dial is in black matt with a very crisp print on it.
The design of the dial doenst need further introduction, it's a timeless classic. Simple and elegant.
Dial : 8 / 10
LUME
I'll provide the lume shot later.
I'm not sure the type of the lume that they use for the dial and hands, But it's not as good as gen pam or seiko, but it's slightly higher than the rep lume.
Lume : 6.5 / 10
HANDS
Blue hands, not sure it it's tungsten or not.
The blue hands contrast with the black matt dial made it stand out.
However it's a bit to shinny for my liking
Hands : 7 / 10
GLASS
#Slightly domed interior hardened mineral glass (DFC Diamond Firm Coating) virtually scratch proof on top glass, back glass hardened mineral crystal DFC coating
The mineral glass is not too bad, but i dont think there's an AR on the watch.
Glass : 6 / 10
MOVEMENT
#Automatic Citizen Miyota caliber 8200 movement
#Movement holder metal anti-magnetic
I'm not an expert on movement, but this movement is soooo noisy.
The rotor / balance wheel making all that noise sound, it's like wearing a jet egine on your wrist.
Is there a way to fix this?
Movement : 6.5 / 10
STRAP
#Italian leather strap padded 22mm
If this is an example of an Italian leather strap, i think i'll just stick with gunny strap
Probably because i'm used to wear thick and big strap from peter, it felt so weird the first time i put this watch on.
The strap is soooo tiny and slip, especially when i compare it to the massive size of the watch.
The strap definitely need to go.
Strap : 4 / 10
CONCLUSION
Overall i'm really happy with this watch, it wears big but still very light and comfortable.
Especially when it's a gift for my bday the sentimental value is priceless, so i cant put a number on this watch
But if you are looking for an affordable nice watch with BP style, this is a watch that you must get. For 100+ price, you cant beat it
