London Boutique Big Pilot.....

Hi, Any views?  I know all likely to be a bit biased :), but just wondered how well received it was, likely to become a collectors piece of the future?

Hi - I seriously considered the London Boutique BP and the BP Le Petit Prince. I saw both about half a dozen times and in the end I went for the Le Petit Prince. My reasons were:

• cleaner and clearer dial on the BPLPP;;
• the larger sweeping second hand on the BPLPP
• did not like the colour of the frame/border around the date on the London Boutique; and
• I felt that the red tipped hands of the London Boutique would lose their appeal to me over time;

All of this trumped the limited edition nature of the London Boutique for me.

I actually have one of these and really love it personally. I don't wear it all that often as I use my port 7 day automatic as my everyday watch.
I really love the styling of the peice and I love the fact that its limited to just 138. I also got it early enough that my first number of choosing was available. As for if it will be a collectors peice? Only time will tell however the limited nature of the watch it's in house movement and timeless design all help. Also worth noting the last time the London Boutique did a limited edition it did and still is doing very well. 

It really is one of my favourites! Also the team at the London Boutique is sensational so it's a great place to buy from. 

My advice is simple:
If you like it for what it is: a beautiful watch, buy it. Don't buy it just for what it might or might not be in the future: a probable collectors' item. You don't know the future.
If you like another Big Pilot more, go for that one. There are quite a few.
I was fortunate enough to try it on and I really liked it, it's a stunner!

All good feedback - Amrishasharma, I have the BP Le Petit Price, bought it in March of this year, I am thinking about this as an additional!!

Cody, this is the first time I have actually been into the boutique, and they are great - very easy to deal with

Tilo - You are right, it is, I think I might just take the plunge!

T.K. - in that case you cannot go wrong with the London Boutique Edn. All the best

TK- It really is an exceptional Watch! If you do decide to go ahead ask to speak to Aymen at the Boutque. Few know as much as he does on this watch.
