Is that gap between the dw and dial supposed to be visible?
I noticed that in few examples.

Looks great bro! How big is your wrist if I might ask? Also, thanks for not shaving your arms... Seen a lot of wrist shots that look creepy AF lol.
Thanks. My wrist is about 8-9 inches. I'm 6'4 so I generally only like 42+ (really 45+) watches. Mostly a Pam guy.

Received my Big Pilot Prince today (February 8th). Here are. My pros and cons for the watch:
Pros
Nice weight to the case.
Accurate blue color dial.
Smooth sweeping hand.
Good Date font.
Acceptable strap
Case back engraving.
Cons
Very poor lume on indices. Hands have a stronger lume than the dial but they appear to be different colors - blueish hands and greenish lume on indices (something for version 2 which is probably why it is so poor).
Keeper loops on strap are thin and too big in size.
Strap the wromg color. OEM has saddle leather in a reddish brown color.
The part of the buckle deployant buckle with "IWC" looks too big/odd compared to my Big Pilot's with the faux power reserve.
Overall
Nice watch but the lume is very disappointing for a Big Pilot especially when the lume on the 5002 and 5004's with the faux power reserve was so strong and well done.

Good summary. I agree the lume is disappointed but overall it's a fantastic rep

Ouh... for the same reason I sold my 586Q Panerai to chronomate, 158 grams is just too heavy for my taste and the comfort area of wearing timepiece.

158grams, exactly the same.
