The Mark Series have always been hugely popular in Asia. The zen-like simplicity is the allure. The dial was, without a doubt, designed with using the Golden Section. These dials have some sort of weird magnetism or draw. They are perfectly balanced. It is actually odd and strangely compelling. Own one and you will see what I mean. The Mark XV is a perfect watch in every way. I know of no other watch that is perfect like this. The MK XVI, although different, is build upon the same base as the other MK Series. It is a nice 'young son', of MK XV so to speak. And I do believe it is a hot seller since the XVI is flying off the shelves at various ADs I've visited around the world.
Remember this: the Mark Series have a devoted and dedicated worldwide following. They have ever since the caliber 89-powered Mark XI M.O.D. Type 48 (made to 6B/346 spec) was made!
Bring on the Mark XVI!!!!!
