Something about holding them live that pictures cannot capture, as I was way more impressed that I thought I would be.
they are bargains for what they offer. The price you pay for them is fair, cos they don't have a marketing budget that the customer has to pay for

It's interesting no doubt, but perhaps I'm the only one who has gotten tired of explaining my watch every time someone asks about it.
It's like the Top Gear thing. Once you have to explain something ("It's a Vauxhall, but it's a VXR, it's the performance line, it's a Nissan, but it's a GT-R") it just loses its mystique.

You are too kind, let say I did a lot of reading on pilot watches 7 or 8 years ago when I started having interest for them. To be honest, I had never looked at anything else but pilot watches from Wempe. So all the models you shown, I had never seen them. It's a brand we rarely see for sure.
