For sale or trade is the original modern iteration of the big pilot. The 5002 was only made for a few years between 2002-2005. This version has the fish crown which is more rare. Most collectors prefer the dial layout of the 5002 to the 5004. Many people also appreciate the all white power reserve which gives the watch a nice monochromatic appearance. Overall due these being made for a short period of time, being the original modern big pilot, and having some desirable design traits I feel that they are extremely undervalued.

This particular example is near mint appearing unpolished which is also extraordinary for a 20 year old watch.

You won't soon again see another one of these for sale here.

Thanks for looking.

Price $12,950. Mainly looking for cash here but if you have a trade feel to entice me.

Available and considering trades down - yes the original strap is included as pictured.

Prefer sale, make a cash offer.

Hi guys. I am back and forth on selling this one because I like it and I feel a pristine 5002 would be hard to replace as they are 20 years old now and long discontinued.

I have something new to disclose in that the fish crown seems to only screw down about 3-4 of a turn. It functions as it should and the watch keeps good time. However, from my reading it seems that eventually during a routine service the crown should probably be replaced. This seems to be just routine wear and tear. I am sure they would let you keep the old crown.

Taking this into consideration I am reducing the price to $12,000 firm. Some trades are considered.

Withdrawn for now. I think ill just put this one in storage until people realize that it is probably the only unpolished 20 year old 5002 in Canada. Eventually these will be double in price, its just a matter of when the market realizes how few examples remain in this condition.
