How does it size against the pam? Bigger than a 47mm pam?

IWC Big Pilots are definitely more bulky and heavy in terms of overall feeling on wrist vs 47mm Pam's which are basically flying on ETA or P3000 double barel Clonel Movement which are way less spacious mvmnt than automatic mvmnt based watches, and Big Pams feels great on the wrist. example: Pam 622, 587, 372 and many more.

Can anyone confirm that the shade of black on the dial is correct? It was too dark on the bp version, gen was almost a really dark dark gray in pictures its not very noticeable but in person it was a big difference.

The is not the same. The power reserve dial is supposed to be the same color/shade/texture as the face dial, and there is no circular ring texture that the rep has that you can see on some pictures of the rep. Same goes for the date dial, the color is off. Other than that though I think the watch is a dead ringer. Coming from someone who owns the 5004.

Interestingly enough, this rep looks more like the SIHH 2016 5009-12 with the circular textured PR dial. What do you guys think?
