yellomen Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Jumpin' Jesus H. Christ, I thought I was spending too much time on the computer... I guess you're right... all that typing takes quite some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Any ideas while we wait? No ideas here... i've been thinking about it as well... but the costs for a Hamilton would be too high and the quality of available and affordable parts would be too low. Thus... let's wait. You could buy the Mark XV and settle for that... if you're willing to overlook the UTC caseback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alant Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Oh no guess what, yesterday I dropped by my local second hand watch boutique and I saw that they have an IWC Mark XV! I took a closer examination, the condition is really good and it comes with the boxes dated papers etc. I would rate it at 99% condition except can see some minor signs of wear on the leather strap but that's about it. Price wise around US$2400. Do you all think is worth it? Come on I need that Mark XVI but now keep thinking of that XV too..... if only XVI is available now or at least told that its coming soon this year then I guess I will wait....

rastapopolos Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Really love the regular XV but the XV spitfire is butt ugly imo.. and.. BUMP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I also prefer the regular Mark XV... and especially the Mark XVI... the spitfire design is nice for a chrono IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alant Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks for sharing pals! Yes I do agree the XVI seems to have a nicer dial design in my own opinion. BUMP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puttputt Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 This is number one on my "most wanted rep" list. I like the size especially. Most of the really nice reps over the past year or two have been giant watches that are 44mm and up. This is a nice size for everybody at 39mm, especially for those who don't like wearing watches that could double as serving platters on their wrists. It would be a nice niche for a dealer; there have to be lots of people like me who love watches around 40mm in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alant Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Do the rep makers need a SWAT analysis in order to convince them we need the Mark XVI?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 They can sell this with both ETA/asia 21j inside a nice double AR and bracelet/strap options but i think they would rather produce for A7750 watches, to me it seems their is a higher profit margin for them when using this movement choice, not to mention as others have mentioned that gen wacthes with more complications have a higher value wich transfers over to the reps as well. But still a very nice watch, should be as simple as the inginueur (sp?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
