k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 This is one of the best looking watches ever, it is classic, sport and elegant. This is very easy construction to make, if rep. makers are able to make HBB with ceramic bezel or New Aquatimer with rotating inner bezel, WHY NOT THIS ONE?????Lets make another "never ending story" so mabe someone will notice how great deal can make producing replica of IWC MARK XVI!!!
FxrAndy Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I would buy one but you know they would [censored] it up! some how.
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 they did 3717 pretty well though, so why not this one?
FxrAndy Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 You know, i dont know!, may be it is to do with marketing and they look at the watch as a bit plain and dont think it will sell, The 3717 has a bit more to it as it is a day date chrono, may thats why?
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 maybe yes, this thread will show how is the interest in Mark XVI
yellomen Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Count me in Karup!! I like the simplicity and elegance of this watch
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 this is so simple watch and easy to rep. like almost 1:1, i don't even care about that brecelet, it look much better on nice alligator strap.
Seadweller4000 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I love this watch. And would definately buy it! (In fact, I would put a genuine MarkXV dial in it imediately)
longshot Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 i would absolutely buy one. probably my all time favorite flieger style watch next to the big pilot, and much easier to get 'right'
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 yeah!!! this is what i'm talking about, we need to force them to replicate it:)
HauteHippie Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 With the very well done 3717 under their belt, you'd think this would be a walk in the park.
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 With the very well done 3717 under their belt, you'd think this would be a walk in the park. yes...
eunomians Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 It's crazy, we've been begging to have this one made for a long while now. And nobody seems to give a sh
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 yeah, i wonder why???this would be a hot seller, they bother to rep. CD, Slevin or 3717, so this is my point. Why nobody ever rep. Mark XVI
Seadweller4000 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Maybe they feel it is not pricy or fancy enough? I don't know. But I wore this watch a several times at the AD and absolutely fell in love with it...
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 there are several ather cheaper reps though, like tag link or even Steelfish.
Seadweller4000 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 there are several ather cheaper reps though, like tag link or even Steelfish. Tag Link was worn by Matt Damon as "Jason Bourne" and the Steelfish is a lot more "fancy"... I would choose the Mark XVI over both of them any time though.
vlydog Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I would definitely buy this rep. It has been said before but I just love simple, classic elegance.
k2222 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 MARK XV was worn by Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky:)))
Seadweller4000 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) MARK XV was worn by Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky:))) and by Harrison Ford in Firewall Edited January 10, 2008 by Seadweller4000
Merlin Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 the XVI is defenitely one of the most beautiful watches and I would buy it as soon as it would be availabe. ...and I know an adress for a good double AR
gianton Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I like it a lot and I am thinking in buying the gen. I have the IWC MARK XV Spitfire rep which is my dress watch for the time.
