New IWC Mark 17 Le Petit Prince

[spursian]

I don't understand what sunburst you guys are talking about? I don't see any on the gen.

There's definitely the sunburst effect on the green. I've compared the little prince chrono gen and rep side by side.

Yes, the big pilot and the Chrono have sunburst effect, but not the Little Prince Mark 17 on gen. I don't have the gen nor see the one in person so I don't know. But from looking at the pictures and videos, I couldn't hardly see.

Could someone verify this? I am about to pull the trigger right now. Thanks.

Im actually surprised how good this watch looks like, especially hands, pure white compared to off white offered in chrono from v6f.

i also carefully compared to the detailed pics of gen but couldn't see sunbursts on the dial.. It looked like matt blue dial..

These are very good comparison so Mark 17 PP has not same reflection effect on Big Pilot PP dial.

However, in spite of upgrading the dial, one of big differences is the number 7 position.

Hopefully it is 41mm , not 43mm as published in intime.

I think InTime says 41x10 mm.

Anyone is going to order one? Sadly 41mm case is too small for my 7,5 inches wrist.

Oh..they have changed it. Earlier on is still 43mm...that's great!!

Have decided to wait for V2. This is not worth of over $300. The number 7 and 8 position is obvious flaw..

 

[bobkat]

Any plans to address the crown thickness?

 

[korneevy]

I've ordered one, let's see what QC looked like in a few days time

Today, I got some information from local seller.
There are two factories which make high grade Mark XVII PP, SW and MK.
Here are differences between them.

SW: No roter engraving, silver movement ring, selling now
MK: Has roter engraving, gold movement ring, launching today

I think the dial quality is same including location of "7".
I'll keep updating as I get new information.
