eunomians Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I wonder if there is an IWC Mark XVI rep coming soon??? I would purchase one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 very nice; if so I hope they get the hand lengths correct - that is one of the major draws for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I agree. In fact, I hope that an accurate/correct version can be done. It might be hard though, since the MK XVI is utterly simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Classy. I am thinking about purchasing a gen... One of my favourite watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj69 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 It should be VERY simple. The case and bracelet on the current Mark XV rep are actually the correct size and lug width for the Mark XVI. All they would need to do is rep the dial and hands. I think the gen even uses the standard ETA black datewheel. Of course, they royally farked up the XV, so why should they get the XVI right?

eunomians Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 From looking at the XVI at my dealer the other day, I noticed that it is bigger than my XV that I was wearing. Not by much, but very very noticeable difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratchpot Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 If the past is anything to go by, the simpler a watch is to replicate, the more likely it is that the rep manufacturers will get it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, u got that right! It took years for MK XV and it still ain't even right! And I won't even get into those 39mm diameter IWC chrono dials...

eunomians Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I almost bought a genuine one recently out of frustration. I will wait for a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
