    … after buying my second Big Pilot within a year. I guess the Uhrenvirus has mutated into a BP variant inside my brain. After obtaining the 5004 I haven’t worn any other IWC except the Aquatimer every now and then while swimming or going to the beach with the kids. I already commented that the looks and feel of the Big Pilot are simply fantastic and that wearing a BP has the strange side effect of making all other watches look a bit pale, shallow and vulnerable. I’m still very much impressed by and in love with my 5004 but especially after Nicky’s presentation of here newly acquired 5002 I was convinced that I needed that one too to accompany the 5004.

    So ladies and gentlemen, may I proudly present my Big Pilot 5002. And I promise, I will wear both of them when I go and visit a colleague psychiatrist next week on my first appointment.

    Well, you do have 2 arms....

    so you can put both to good use. That's just thinking outside the box, and not a psychosis.

    Congratulations,
    Michael

    The 5002 is a teriffic additon to your colleciton,

    Congratulations on owning both. How will you decide which one to wear? The 5002 would be my steady pick, I think. I like the classic look. It this one a transition or slow beat?

    It seems this insanity is a common illness here

    I am still trying to convince my wife to let me get the Ardois Portuguese. Keep in mind in the last 3 months I have purchased 2 IWC, 1 Tag Heuer, 1 OMEGA, 1 Stowa...hey that could be an interesting thread...how many watches have you purchased in a short time span....

    Specially for you Tracy.....

    I will try to let them pose with the BP's one of these days and see if they are more interested in the watches than last time. They are now 4 1/2 week old and have grown really fast as you can see....

    My wife is a psychologist (not kidding)...

    ... so she knows there is only one to blame and that is me. I take full responsibility for this madness, but I must admit Nicky that you pointed me in the good direction.....
