Incoming BP

Excited to finally pick up a watch I’ve lusted after for years but never could quite commit to it. Never seeing an actual 5002 in person, it being a large watch and wondering if I could pull it off had me reluctant to pull the trigger. Glad I finally made it happen as I’m
loving the vintage vibe.

Shout out to SohAIS for such a smooth transaction, great communication, quickly shipped out and arrived in great condition as promised.

The BP is the only exception to the rule that the watch is too big.

I have the BP Heritage (46mm...not the huge 48mm version) in Ti, and I love this watch. It's at the very limit of my wrist width, but I don't care. It's a BP, and I love the way it looks.

Your 5002 is a keeper. Congrats.

IWC don't seem to get the love they deserve on here. Congrats on a lovely piece.
