The "K" on "MARK" seems to have a tiny defect but it's virtually invisible. Spotted it on my screen and not in real life :p

Its all there, in the picture. This is not the latest MK version, but the most beautiful.

Just a quick casebacks comparison (click on the picture and select the zoom to have a better resolution)

SW seems a bit better in terms of drawing accuracy.

Here's a couple of shot from my light box. This one is from MK, came with 2 cards as well as an outer plastic with the word "MK" printed on it

It's a beauty , just find the watch a little light weight.

I just revisited this thread after 2 weeks and it seems like the consensus has changed from liking the 2nd mk batch to liking the 1st mk batch again.

Guess the main consideration is regarding the sunburst(or lack of it).

Regardless, Kenny's pics looks the best, and ultimately I believe it boils down to how the pics were taken..

Just my 2cts worth.
