IWC Mark XVI v2 - what do u think?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Puretime has posted a picture of the Date wheel. It shows the ten's. 

 

It is way better than the old version. Unfortnately, I bought the V1.. Then the movement failed, and I spent a few bucks on service and new AR.. And now this version is out.. :-( I know it is stupid, but I am tempted...

Definite improvements to the dial, the hands look much better than the washed out old version, also the 2nd hand looks good, as does the DW and surprisingly the AR has a nice IWC like blue hue. Could be a winner here. How does the case look, any side shots of brushed vs polished parts?

Thanks Seafoam, looks excellent, even the strap looks really good.

 

You're welcome sir.  The strap took some shine work as it comes a little on the flat/matte side.  A little leather treatment and some elbow grease, and you're in business :)

Received mine on Saturday from PT, and can't help but notice that the dial is slightly tilted to the left axis...

Not sure if I should email them back for a replacement....

 

The first QC set of pics sent to me also had this problem, and they sent me a second set of pics 2 days later, and I thought they fixed it...

 

It could be the gen that they were using to make this rep 1:1 had that problem? 

 

See my attached photo: notice the 3 and 6 position is slightly tilted left and upwards

You are kidding right? Please sell it to me and get out of the rep game!.. It is not for you.

Looks really good dave, very accurate.

 

How are these doing in terms of sales I wonder. Definitely a few picking them up. But not huge feedback/reviews/comparisons across the fora about them? They gonna be a slow burner?

It's a superb rep yes. I imagine its not a massive seller. But, they created a V2 so it must be a reasonable seller. Most people go for the obvious reps. I love e XVI so it was easy for me. Simple beauty Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
