JWR Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 i wouldnt be so sure about the aquatimer, archibald... they have the case with the two crowns made for the new alarm model.... and it'd be a simple matter to throw an eta in there and fabricate the new bezel...
aronax74 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 one small exemple of a franken watch ! my iwc mark XI the dial is original , the case too , the hand will be change soon ! and the movement ...... sign internationnal watch and co .... but its an eterna one ! surprise !!
eunomians Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Posted July 12, 2006 Very nice frankenwatch - how is the project coming along? Is it finished yet? On another note... STILL NO MK XV, IT'S JUST TOO DAMN HARD TO RECREATE.
Chronus Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 I hope you're enjoying the Ingenieur For those with the SS GST Chrono and the Ingenieur, swap the clasps on these 2 and you have improved accuracy on both - GST should have pearlage, and Ingenieur shouldn't
Hok Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) STILL NO MK XV, IT'S JUST TOO DAMN HARD TO RECREATE. waaaaagh! waiting for just this simple uncomplicated easy rep only. PLEASE. ingenieur's looking quite perfect, it's just that i don't like the gen either. Edited November 13, 2006 by Hok
Pugwash Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 ingenieur looking quite perfect, it's just that i don't like the gen either. Not a fan, either.
dluddy Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Not a fan, either. To be honest, either was I until I got one and started wearing it. It hasn't been off my wrist in 3 weeks and I usually change watches every day
jkerouac Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 I hope you're enjoying the Ingenieur For those with the SS GST Chrono and the Ingenieur, swap the clasps on these 2 and you have improved accuracy on both - GST should have pearlage, and Ingenieur shouldn't The clasp on the Inge is wider (20mm) than the clasp on the GST (18mm), so a swap is not possible.
eunomians Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Posted November 18, 2006 The clasp on the Inge is wider (20mm) than the clasp on the GST (18mm), so a swap is not possible. Looks like there has been some attempts at revamping the 1st generation garbage heap known as the MK XV rep. Good news I suppose.
eunomians Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Posted November 22, 2006 I await the personal reviews regarding this rep.
jj69 Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Wow. I'm glad I found this thread! I too am desperately searching for a Mark XV rep. I'm considering the $198 model currently available at Trusty Time [iWC0017A], Perfect-Clones [iW10020], and WO Mart [W-2323]. The problems with the rep are obvious. The second hand is silver rather than white, the hour hand is too fat, and the lume on the minute hand is not quite correct. Also, the case is supposedly 12mm thick, rather than 10.5mm, and the case back doesn't have the correct markings. Is anyone aware of a more accurate version out there now, or on the horizon? With the (unappealing looking) gen Mark XVI already on the market, I sort of doubt anyone will bother to make a new rep of the Mark XV. I've been waiting a long time for a Mark XV. Should I just pull the trigger, or would it be worthwhile to wait for a better verison??? TIA
FxrAndy Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 I just thought i would resurect this old thread to highlight the fact that we have been waiting for ever for a decent MK XV and XVI rep, come on makers these are soo simple for you to make well, just do it!
