Hi, does anyone know if the big pilot, specifically the 5002, has a vertical
clutch coupling? I ask because my local AD mentioned this as a reason
servicing would be expensive, but from researching this it looks like vertical
clutch is mostly associated with chronographs.
Any help is appreciated.
Vertical Clutch will only be found in a chronograph movement.
This AD obviously doesn't know the difference between a chronograph and
chronometer!!!!
The person also referenced the double barrel which to my knowledge the 5002 is
a single barrel.
Correct.
Last Big Pilot Reference 5009 had single barrel and Cal 51111
Big Pilot Ref 501001 received Double Barrel and Cal 52110 movement
