OutOfTime Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I do want one. I love the understated elegance of this watch vs. the overly busy mulitdialed watches that are all over the place. I don't care for the bracelet just want the black crock version.
he_haupt Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Shouldn't that actually be I want my.... I want my .... I want my, Mark XVI. Sting backround vocals on Dire Straights "Money for Nuthin" and chicks for... i rather thought of QUEEN's I want to ride my anyway, I want this watch!
yellomen Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 We won't shut up before we have a decent Mark VXI
FxrAndy Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 IWC will have released the Mk VXII before we see this one i think, why is it they can put out the rep panerai 1938 before the gen but have not even made this one!
alant Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 That's a good question Andy! I guess only the rep makers will have that answer. They seems to be keen in those Hub...ts which I don't know how many versions they have of it now and many other lesser known reps. The Mark XVI could be too simple for them to rep which they find no kick??? However my stand is still simple....... I WANT THE MARK XVI!
eunomians Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 IWC will have released the Mk VXII before we see this one i think, why is it they can put out the rep panerai 1938 before the gen but have not even made this one! Most folks are still waiting for a decent MKXV rep, too! Anyhow, remember that for the rep makers, the more simple the watch, the harder it is to replicate!! All proportions must be perfectly executed in order for the final outcome to be 1:1. Also, some of u might recall that I had to go out and build my own MKXV using mostly OEM parts since a good rep never materialized after all these years. I hope this will not be same issue with MKXVI. BTW, BUMP!!!!!!!!
FxrAndy Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 How big was the slevin thread, are we at 10% OF THAT YET?
yellomen Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 No news ...again. I dunno if Trusty/Andrew/Joshua or any other dealer has read this post...? And since Angus is not responding to enything we won't be hearing anything from him on the MarkXVI either Let's hope one of the dealers finds it rewarding to buy a $4k watch and have that replicated 1:1 .... i can't imagine it won't pay of...
FxrAndy Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Andrew has read it and can offer no information about it unfortunatly, he did allude to other new reps but not a MK XVI unfortunatly.
FxrAndy Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Silix also stated the there is a factory intersted in making it , i asked if it is one that has produces any of the recent "super" reps and he said no it is a new factory, take from that what you may, i only hope that whoever is pointing them to make this, PLEASE let them read this thread and see the importance of getting it right, it is such a simple watch it need to me correct, i am sure we will help in pointing out mistakes if we are asked.
Stephane Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 New factory ? Oh my god, that simple dial need an expert, not a new factory
Seadweller4000 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 New factory ? Oh my god, that simple dial need an expert, not a new factory New factory, old factory - it's the result that counts mon ami!
Stephane Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 New factory, old factory - it's the result that counts mon ami! Indeed ....
FxrAndy Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Hey i would not start yet they are only thinking as far as i have heard.
FxrAndy Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 I got a little info from Jay today that sounds positive at least on getting this right, When the production starts he will try to show us the watch in design and pre prod states so that we can point put any faults. Big thumbs up for Jay!!!!!
vlydog Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 As for the movement, what is likely to appear in this model?
