if you want to order the part number is IWE08820 for the strap and buckle is IWE07019.

Where can I go to order the strap & buckle? it looks like the watch was made in limited quantities. I wonder if the strap was also limited.

this is a beautiful watch. can't decide between this or the slighty larger ceramic model

If it's as good as the MKS factory Mark XVIII, it's as close to a super-rep as they come.

MKS or MKF?

MKS, in the past also referred to as MK.

MK = MKF

So one and the same.

Is this a new version? https://www.intime05.co/iwc/4597-pi...on-black-dial-a2892-on-green-nylon-strap.html

 

[IWC_man]

I believe this is the latest version, it seems to have the correct crown

MK

Or M+F ?

Which would you choose ?
Initial thoughts

MK strap is a Joke , bezel is (too?) bold , Crown is correct in latest Version. But i have Seen "Gen Pics" Shows the v1 Crown , maybe Rep Pics or iwc changed it
Lume Color is too white

M + F bezel and dial print are thinner (too thin?) and looks Overall "smaller" ? Just because of the thinner bezel? , DW is different but no idea which is more accurate , thoughts ? Triangle lume looks Crisp but seems a bit high / thick? Creamy Vintage Color is correct. Crown seems to be inaccurate
strap looks okay


i appreciate your help
