This is my 4th QC:

The watch actually looks fantastic, but they never get the DW right, this one is too low. I'm sending this back yet again.

You are sending back this watch? Are you some sort of a psycopath? The datewheel is off by less than a tenth of a millimeter, you'll never get a better result

Just send to me and I'll fix your problem, by taking it off your hands so you don't have to look at it :p

Just got it in! I threw out the strap and got a Rios buffalo leather strap that suits it much better.
The case feels very solid, the matte titanium looks like it can weather being an everyday watch.

I ordered the MARK XVIII IW327006 TITANIUM M+F and was pretty shocked because it came with a Miyota. I wanted to swap the movement to an ETA, that‘s why I recognized it. My TD said it was wrong on the website and all M+F have a Miyota movement. Could please someone check?

ssr905 do you have a asian clone movement inside yours?

You can imagine that I wasn‘t really happy about that. I‘m not sure if I got a MKF and they just tell me stories to keep the money for the M+F, +100$ difference.

It would be really nice if someone can open his M+F to check their movement.

I am posting a review today, after some months of ownership ;)

Unfortunately i can not open the movement for the moment, maybe in the future at my watchmaker.

I have to take back my suspicion, my TD has clarified the situation after I asked him again. The story short:

The QC Department sendt me the wrong watch from MKF, I asked them why they sendt me a watch with Miyota when the M+F is stated with A2892, they asked their Maker (unfortunately MKF and not M+F) and replied to me that the maker said, all their watches are coming with Miyota :frusty:

So everything is a biiiiigggg misunderstanding.......the M+F does come with a A2892 and everything ist fine. They just sendt me the wrong watch and also the TD is now willing to pay my 100$ back.

You should have ordered V7F version

I got the white dial version and I love it.

Everything is allright, please read my last post:

What do you think of the white dial version? I've been eyeing it but the pics on puretime show two different airplanes on the back casing; one is the legit plane (the junkers 52), the other pic is a close up of the P-38 Lightning which is only on the brown dial Antoine de Saint edition. Also in the pics the top triangle lume marker looks to be angular more like the black dial version; the gen white dial version has a "puffy" or "bubble" triangle lume marker. Am curious if you see the same on your V7F since people consider it a super rep.

I am on the road right now. On Friday I'll post some pics of the V7F version that I received. I looked at it, wore it for two days and I did not see anything wrong with it, and it runs +3 sec/day out of the box/without regulating.

The strap is kinda cheap looking, but so is the gen strap. I got aftermarket straps for it.

It is kinda long, with 51mm lug-to-lug. It looks ok on my 6 3/4" wrist, but if your wrist is smaller than that it might too big for you.
