Which is the best IWC XVI Rep

[Asus-1965]

Hi,

I am looking to get an IWC XVI rep. I've been looking at 2 in particular, one from PureTime and one from Trusty time.

I think the PureTime one looks closer to the original - however it has an A2892 movement rather than the Swiss ETA which Joshs' one has..

On other threads I have read bad things regarding the A2892.

Has anyone got experience of either of these two reps? Which one would folks suggest to get?

Is there a better rep available from another TD?

Many thanks,

Malcom.

I have the Puretime version. It is very accurate to the gen. With an ETA datewheel and a stronger AR it would ideal.
