Totally agree, tried this thing on at the Las Vegas IWC Boutique and as soon as you put it on the dimension/color/chunky/flare concerns go right out the window. Gratz on the purchase it's an absolute stunner in person.
It looks great with dark scrubs, gives some fun pop to everyday boring work clothes. Congratulations! Been thinking about getting the 43mm Big Pilot in blue. Never stop feeling the fun of your youth!
Such a nice piece. Their new ceramic models are really nice. I would say in my opinion Lake Tahoe is the best. I was hoping they would release this in 41mm. I have tried this on in an IWC Boutique, but the 41 Mojave and 41 Ocean fit me well the most.
IWC CEO Chris Grainger was wearing this watch when he visited Louisville two weeks ago. Looks so good on the wrist. He also wore in the evening the new Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Horizon Blue in White Gold. Equally stunning.
I just went to the boutique today to take a look at the Lake Tahoe Chronograph, they did not have the Lake Tahoe but had the woodlands, I came to the realization that my wrists are big, the 43mm looked sort of small, I even tried the perpetual calendar big pilot 46 and i still had some margin! I put my name on the waitlist for the Lake Tahoe :)
That’s awesome! The way watch prices are crashing, you could get the rodeo drive perpetual for a steal. I’m afraid if I try on a big pilot perpetual, I’ll buy one. But I seriously don’t think you’d be disappointed with a 43 Lake Tahoe. Thank you for sharing.
Some people just don’t understand IWC. Personally, I’m so glad there is practically zero hype around the brand. I really love their engineering-forward approach to watch design. I just picked up the Pilot Performance Chronograph (the new Mercedes AMG F1 watch) in ceratanium. Came on a black rubber but also bought the teal one. It has completely stole my attention and reminded me why I love IWC.
That’s an awesome piece! Congratulations. I wear my ceratanium 41 most days now. No matter what I’m doing or what I wear, it fits. If I had yours, I’d definitely rock the black band.

You definitely never forget you have it on at work. I think the little big pilot looks amazing, I hope you get it and love it.
It’s about emotion ……

I’m sure a Lake Tahoe 41 is in the pipeline. It’ll be so hard to get I imagine!

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing. Everyone gets freaked out about the dimensions on paper. These pieces really have to be seen and felt in person.

@@RandyswatchesBlack rubber Mon-Fri for the office.. Teal on the weekend and race days! 😂
Looks great! How much does it weigh?
It’s not unwieldy or uncomfortable. I’d say it’s pretty light for what it is.
