I have posted this pilot on numerous occasions:



It is a Mercedes-Benz branded pilot style watch with a high grade Asian Unitas 6497 and sterile dial.  I really love the watch, and I've had no complaints.  The movement actually runs very well and keeps excellent time.  It is also nicely decorated.




Well, the itch started when I picked up a pristine high grade original Unitas recently, for very little money.  I knew exactly what to do with it!

Out came the Asian and in went the Unitas.



Although not as nicely decorated, I think the finish on the Unitas looks fantastic.

Lastly, the removed Asian movement. (I must say, this is one of the best I have seen)



The exchange was effortless, bar the dial feet which I had to remove to fit the new movement.

Hope you found this interesting!
