I finally after 3 years of being a member of RWI and looking at IWC as a brand picked up a Mark XVI

IWC fell off my radar after discovering this forum as I made my way through various Rolex and Omegas and some others thrown in along the way .. all with the same outcome that I sold them and I have petty much just stayed with gen watches for a good while

then the IWC Mark series popped on my radar again and this one appeared on the M2M sales threads

first impressions is it’s pretty nice , the strap is not so good but I will change that

it has the styling that I was after , I was thinking of picking up a Laco Flieger but ultimately went for this

I’m pretty happy with it ... and might actually keep this one

Nice pictures, those Rep Marks models seems very well made.
I like that they don’t attract attention, like other brands do, at least not that much. Dials are simple with beautiful design.
Enjoy and wear it in good health.

That’s what appeals to me , I own mainly vintage omega watches but don’t like to wear them on a daily basis so was looking for a nice clean design

I just felt a bit odd and self conscious wearing a Rolex I couldn’t feel comfortable so for me IWC flys under the radar a little bit more

I have some gen Mark XVI parts here which are looking for a new housing. Does anybody know, where a Mark XVI rep is still available?

TheController : I have this Mark XVI middle case left. But I will also put up my Mark XVI with gen dial / hands / crown up in the sales section soon to fund another project.

Thank you for the feedback - I would be interested in the details and will write you separately to not overcrowd this thread.
