Thanks, i have dropped your a PM.

Does anyone have any current sources for a set of gen IWC Mark XVI dial and hands? Thanks.

Thanks for the info! Will see if Josh releases a version using the 2892 movement.

I noticed that Josh (perfect clones) now has a version of the XVII on bracelet using the 2813 movement for $178. Anyone know if there are any differences cosmetically in terms of accuracy with the 2892 movement? Or is it just the same case, dial with a different movement? http://www.p-cls.com/iwm171101s-mark-xvii-ssss-black-asia-2813-p-15072.html

Who to try and contact really depends on where you are located. You should be able to get suggestions if you specify your location (US, etc). Or do a search like 'watch repair US'. I'm based in asia.

thanks for the reply. I have contacted someone to do a complete overhaul for me. Rather irritating as the QC pics showed all the timegrapher results to be 'great'.

I just received a Mark XVI from one of the TD this week and the watch is running about 10 secs slow per hour. Is it a straightforward thing to open up the caseback and adjust it by trial and error? I don't need the watch to be running perfectly on time but losing 10 secs per hour adds up to quite alot. The XVI i have is the one that has the Asian 2892 movement. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have an older IWC vintage minute repeater with the closed caseback (the one that is around 39mm excluding the faux repeater switch and crown). Just wondering if it is easy and possible to buy a similar dimension case and transfer everything (dial, A21J movement, etc) over into the new case. I really like the vintage looking dial on this watch but do not like the faux repeater switch so thinking it would be nice if i could just change the case to a normal case without the repeater switch. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

Are there any reps of the IWC Portuguese automatic ref.3531? Been searching around but so far have not found anything. Thanks.

Thanks, will go check out how a 39mm watch looks on my wrist but i still think it would look huge.

Are there any smaller (around 36mm) pilot reps or any other smaller IWC reps available? I have a small skinny wrist and the larger watches would look quite ridiculous on my wrist. Thanks!
