Cromag Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Traveling to Calgary this week I decided to stop in at the local AD to get a first hand look at the IWC Mark XVII. First of all the watch is a beauty and I really like it a lot as the 41mm size does fit nicely on my 6.4" wrist -especially with the bracelet. The high contrast dial is super easy to read which makes the IWC Pilot watches so distinctive among all other watches out there. Here's a pic; Unfortunately the 12 o'clock marker on this particular GEN was misaligned. More noticeable in person. I'm still shocked, as I was expecting perfection from a Swiss Made watch, -especially one from Switzerland. Fear not my rep friends. Getting called out is practically impossible with poor QC of some IWC watches. I noticed the second-hand on the 3878 was also slightly misaligned. Can hardly wait for Angus to get the next version XVII at PT. hopefully with bracelet. THAT is a must-buy rep for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Oh IWC have often poorly done their QC work on their gen products. I used to work for an AD ages ago and jeez they are often extremely shi^. But the watches look so damn good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
