Hello Pilot watch fans. I have been a member of the overall forum for years but never stepped into this particular forum. I’m mostly a diver watch fan but the bug for a pilot watch has started to bite. I turn to you all for advice and suggestions.
Inside the next few months I plan to purchase my next piece. I’ve somewhat narrowed it down to either a Sinn 104 A St Sa or an IWC Pilots watch Mark XVIII
Now I understand different countries of origin and the price difference but what I need advice on is whether the price difference is noticeable? Is there really nearly $3000 of quality difference between IWC and Sinn? I have never owned a sample of either and have always considered a Sinn a sort of Grail (of course I was at that time looking at a U1) but since he itch has arisen I’ve started looking into IWC and just want advice: will I know where my extra money has gone if I were to go the IWC route?
Sorry if I rambled but thank you in advance for any and all pictures, comparisons, advice and suggestions.
Regards
