IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Constant-Force Tourbillon
Not denying it's a great HOROLOGICAL achievement, but... it's huge.. unwearable for most people... destroys the readability (and point) of a big pilot, and it has the 2 (useless) functions on a watch. A moon phase and a power reserve dial slapped onto it, making it look way too busy.
Maybe I'm a hater, but it's both ugly, and historically horologically destroys the idea of a what a big pilot is meant to be...
No accounting for taste, and thankfully that is still a personal thing at this moment, but actually that's the 3rd time I've seen that in recent weeks, and it's sorta growing on me
I've already got 2 to add to my collection, on my shopping list for December and January, but I definitely see a future on my shelf for that
We love you Conor !
Look at that white residue on the table
Anyway, back in topic...the YM2 at leats has a personality of its own.
The YM 1 is simply a more expensive Submariner. So, really, i like the YM 2 more.
The Submariner and that Submariner design in general is the most BLAND design ever.
Better a bold YM2 than a bland, boring and usual YM1. Plus .,

IMHO the IWC is ugly, and pointless but not as ugly as that Mega Yacht, certainly the YM2 is better than that and the Mr Blobby, but I still prefer the original YM. Although I did have a YM way back when, I sold it in the end, but I am officially an old bloke, so I tend to be resistant to changes, but end up coming around to them after a while, i.e. the Breitling Exo

Gotta love watches and different perspectives. This watch looks great to me. For me the AP 15202 and similar and Omega Speedmaster FMOM or FMOS whatever it is are the ugliest looking 60's and 70's style watches. If you lined up 100 random non watch people probably none of them would pick those old looking watches over a more modern looking fossil or even the Exospace. If nobody would pick them that is the definition of ugly. I own the AP rep and would love to experience the speedmaster watch though. We're watch people though. We're not normal. I like the YM2

Ladies Pearlmaster (29 and 34 mm) from 2005 - 2010 were very beautiful in my opinion...
Instead, the 39mm they make right now is... Well...

Not necessarily ugly, but undesirable to me: Any watch over 42mm diameter or 14mm thick. That's the max for me before a watch is too big a bulky to carelessly wear. I don't have a small wrist, just don't want bulky watches. For ugly though, any RM Richard Mille.
