    Hello everyone.

    I’m sharing some pictures of my latest acquisition of the IW500908, Big Pilot Le Petite Prince, a little belated birthday purchase and of somewhat late-joiner of being an owner of this limited edition.As most of you are aware this 2014 model attracted much attention and still is a great looker.

    I was torn at the time when this was introduced to me as I had different priorities and couldn’t commit to it during its launch. The moment I decided against it left a hint of regret instantly and it kept gnarling at me from time to time.

    The time when Ahmad from AUH Galleria Boutique introduced me to the Le Petite in 2014. Blew me away.

    Lately, I came across an Authorized Dealer by chance and discovered there’s one more left in circulation locally, perhaps the last one. It's a new old stock and the serial number suggest that it could be late 2015 release. The current wonderful releases of Pilot watches, Heritage Titan and Bronze , the new 2016 line (and also kicking myself for being too late for the Safari) hasn’t made it easy to choose, but I knew I had to go for something special this time. I couldn’t wait for the Safari as the waiting list is uncertain.

    Long story short, pulled the trigger, sealed the deal, happy as a lark. Loving it to bits, here are some pictures to share:

    hope to fill the gap with a IW5002 one day :)

    And some shots in the action...

    Thank you Vincent. It was love at first sight ! This MARK XVII and a BP model were the very first LLP's offered and it is amazing how the LPP collection has flourished over the past few years.
