Iwc pilot top gun

Hi guys, I am looking at getting one of these and would like some advice from anyone who has previously owned one. Are they much lighter than a normal spitfire and what is the strap like to wear.

Thanks

Andy

I've tried one on numerous times and although I haven't worn a regular spitfire the top gun is a fairly light watch.

Nice and distinct too but for the money I'll stick to Rolex :)

Top Gun is very comfortable, and light weight; I like it a lot. Don't wear but once in a blue moon though, because I favor the Big Pilot.
