reeves Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Gentlemen, I am relatively new to this forum, joined a few months back. Since then I've managed to pick up a sub and Tag Carriera from Trusty Time. I am now looking to pick up a Mark xv with the cut off hour hand. I have searched this forum far and wide as well as Trusty's website and other TD's but havent managed to find a really accurate looking version of the Mark xv (the pieces I've seen appear to have the hour hand a tad too long and the seconds hand as silver as opposed to white from the IWC website) Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you in advance for your help. Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 You probably won't find that rep in stock from a dealer anymore. Since they have released both the MRK XVI and XVII, I doubt it's still being produced. If you're stuck on having the XV, then your best bet is to post a WTB and see if you can find one for sale from a member. You will probably need to do the mods yourself however, and I'm not sure if gen hands can still be sourced. Concepta would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromag Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 True dat! XVI is the way to go. They just reissued a new version a few months ago. I know Angus sells it on http://pureti.me Nobody will call you out on an XV or XVI My old version says hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think the gen xv had 19mm lugs but the now obsolete rep mkxv had 20mm lugs and he managed to reshape them to fit the xvi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
